One week we had a visitor to our SL class named Gus Plisskin. He is the founder of FireSabre Consulting a company that will help your organization develop presence in SL. His firm has worked on many 3D collaborative projects. The economic statistics that he gave us were astounding in terms of how much money exchanged hands in-world for buying designer clothing (40%), land trade, photo-realistic avatar skins, prim hair and avatar makeovers. (Reminds me of paperdolls when I was a kid - but these are very expensive dolls, yes?) In fact in the last 24 hours in Second Life $1.8 million US dollars exchanged hands.
Gus answered questions for the class about land aquitision and projects that Firesabre had worked on. He said renting land on an existing project was cheaper than buying land or one could start from scratch. It takes a couple of months for them to develop a project and for $250-400 one could start up and then it would be $50-100 monthly for upkeep. In other words for about $2000 a year a school could run a project in SL.

This company has been very dishonest and unethical. After submitting a proposal and been asked for two months on a regular basis to get started (and every time, yes, we have some urgent client, we'll send this tomorrow) finally I get an email saying they now cannot honor the proposal and the cost will be double!!!
Bewars of such place where only money counts and there is no ethical nor professional approach.
