Purchasing on SL Marketplace

[Malayaa Resident]

Status update on the new "non Magic Box" method of selling no-copy items, like gacha and KittyCats, called VMMI. VMMI is still in Beta test by the Marketplace. I was feeling brave and decided to give it a try. The links were on my merchant home page.

1) Downloaded the SL Viewer for VMMI
2) Logged on to SL with the viewer for VMMI and went to Me - Marketplace Listings up top.
3) Picked a box for sale, made sure the pedigree info was copied to my clipboard, then just dragged the kitten box onto the "drag and drop" area under the Me-Marketplace listings. It made a folder titled the name of my box up top. Right clicked on the folder and Create Listing. Then right clicked on it again to Edit Listing, which brought up the standard merchant listing that you can autofill and edit, add your images, etc.
4) The process went smooth and faster than with Magic Box. The old Magic Box listings are still there on my merchant home page, but now there is a section below for VMMI listings. I put up about 8 boxes, and looking at the store from a user perspective, it was seamless (can't tell the difference).
5) I have not tried "migrating" an existing Magic Box listing over to VMMI (that is next weekends project!).
6) My monitor broke (yay for technology) and by the time I made 2 trips to Staples and hooked everything up correctly, someone had bought one of my new "VMMI method" cat listings!! One thing that is cool, is that with VMMI it recognizes that your listing now has 0 inventory, and automatically unlists it until you restock (for example, if you have a gacha listing and have more of the same to sell). With Magic Box, I had to log in and tell it to delist every time I sold a cat.
7) It also appears from the user instructions that in the listing folder, we could also put copy items (like say a notecard ) and the customer would receive that along with their kitten box.

(crosses fingers that posting this status does not jinx my initial success of using the new VMMI lol)
