Hug☆Mart

Roy Blanchard shot an IM to me about his Lucky Chairs being on U. Always great stuff at Hug☆Mart (SLurl) so I teleported as quick as I could and was surprised by four chairs! And he has added a Lucky Fortunes machine to his chairs and MobVend.

Sadly, we weren't "fortunate" enough to be a matched pair (I've never won anywhere on that thing) but he's a bear and I'm a lesbian and ... well, let's just say that our folks might object and leave it at that.

If you are a tiny bear like Roy or any kind of Tiny or know one or wanna be one, Hug☆Mart is a great place to shop (Disclaimer: I have two vendors there and donated land to the group) for just about anything you can think up that a Tiny might need or want. When I began in Second Life not many Tinies wore clothes. You should see the selection here! Around the corner to the right of the chairs is a huge (funny word for a tinies store) selection of freebies. Some even work well with full-sized avies.

Bad Riot Vend

The IM dinger went off when I logged in this morning and I found this comment from a not so Lucky Kitty, Usra Ostrich:

Can you blog about this? It's a crime! I went to Rare Breed to help with a Riot Vend and the bloody thing was a rip off! One minute we all heard [2008/07/24 23:10] [HeZ] RiotVend Vendor 1.0 whispers: Bring more people to make the price go down! Then *blam* the price went up! It never announced "Lowest price reached" nor did it warn us before rocketing the price from L$100 to L$500!!

Along with this pic (click for larger image) from just after the price increase, Usra gave me the SLurl for the shop, but I won't dignify them with the potential traffic it can generate.

My experience is primarily with Mob Vendors from Shep Korvin (store SLurl), but I imagine the other branded unit works the same ... some warning is given, usually a small price increase. If this is as borked out as it seems to be, then this is unconscionable.
