Show me the money!

As stated earlier in my blog; there is a real business side to SL. Besides the obvious created by Linden Labs. In SL their currency is called "Linden Dollars". There are approximately 250 Linden Dollars (L$) to every US Dollar. Rates fulctuate based on supply and demand according to SL.com. In the game most items range in price, from a few L$ to thirty or so L$. So when you think about it, it's only a fraction of a cent to a few pennies. It does add up though, if you have thousands of purchases daily you begin to see where the income comes from. Because of this, people bases thier soul income off of this, designing digital outfits, furniture, and other items that are popular in reality.
