How to Shop For Free
Filling Up Your Inventory
1. Locate the button that looks like a suitcase or go to the top of the viewer screen and locate "Avatar". The Inventory link is at the top of that drop down box.
2. Everything will be placed in your Inventory
3. You can right click each folder and make new sub folders and can name each sub folder anything you like.
Important Note: Making sub folders is really a necessity. You will really realize this once you have accumulated enough items to where doing so is the only way to keep track of all that you will have...and it is going to be a lot!

Important Things To Know
1. When you grab an item while in the Lost Paradise grid, the items will appear at the bottom of your "Objects" file. However, if you grab an item in another grid, it will appear in the objects sub file in your "My Suitcase" file. Also, if you don't see it in that file, look down below the trash can in the same file.
2. Any items that have scripts in them from other grids should be rezzed first at the Lost Paradise Import Shores region. Check first to see if anything weird or wanky happens with the item. If it looks to be okay, you will need to either delete or change the scripts. Click here for the Change Scripts instructions.
3. You will sometimes find stores that are actually trying to sell items for "Lindens" (the Second Life form of money). Don't be disappointed. We have people who have come from Second Life who have not understood that OpenSims is all about everything being free. They will figure it out in time as their items do not sell very well here, if at all.
