In order to understand what makes Second Life so appealing we must first take some time to analyze the content that makes up the virtual shop within SL. Let's take a look at 5 items on sale this week within Second Life's shop and make scientific predictions on the type of people that are the most likely to purchase the content.
One item for sale this week within the SL shop is the Chroma Teleporter System. Chroma is a 'pad' that you place on the ground, which allows you to transport your avatar to and from multiple locations on a sim. I see this item attracting all users who are unhappy with or are simply seeking a new way of getting around SL. This saves users the trouble of opening the destination menu and selecting a location to travel. All you have to do is simply preset the pads to popular destinations that you frequent, then it is simple as standing on the pad and selecting to transport to said destination.

Another item for sale this week is the REBORN:. Streetwear Cap/w Scarf Female. This a small collection of accessories for customizing your characters look. This is an item that I see targeted towards any individual within SL that is looking to customize the look and feel of their character by changing their attire.

The third item for sale this week that i want to share is the Valycion FAMAS Assault Rifle. This item is a complete virtual recreation of an assault rifle completely customizable to its users taste with several attachments available. I see this item being purchased by any user within Second Life who is a gun enthusiast and enjoys customizing them. I also see this item being very popular with users who also enjoy first-person shooter games as this item mimics some of the qualities that you may find within those types of games.

The fourth item is The Energy Loft B156 *Fully Furnished* Skybox. This item is a complete virtual house within the world of Second Life. The house comes with virtual decor and several other perks for its users. This item is most appealing to all users within the world that value having a personal space to socialize with their friends without having to deal with unwanted interactions with unknown users.

This is a wedding gown based on a special request. It includes a high quality top, bottom, skirt with attachments and sculpted back and front bows, the skirt is scripted so you can touch it and resize or reposition parts individually to adjust the dress to your size and shape. This is an item that I see targeted towards any individual within SL that are looking to customize the look and feel of their character by changing their attire. As I continue to explore this virtual worlds shop I have concluded that clothing attire seems to make up for a sizeable chunk of the store. This further helps my initial observation that Second Life is a virtual world in which players can feel free to express themselves without any concerns for succumbing to standards or norms of real life.
