For Sale In Second Life: Amsterdam
Amsterdam is for sale on eBay.. It's one of the most popular areas in Second Life. More than that: It is, to Second Life, what Times Square is to New York, or Fisherman's Wharf is to San Francisco. It's one of the first places where newbies go, to look around and check out the scene. I've visited a couple of times myself, in my first couple of weeks in Second Life, but not since. I know only a couple of things about it: It's really lovely, with lots of attention to detail. It looks a lot like the real Amsterdam (which, alas, I've only seen on TV travel shows). Check out the slide show on the auction page, above. And it's supposed to be one of the most prominent locations for the sex business in Second Life. Bidding starts at US$20,000, or you can buy it outright for $50,000. The owner and developer, who goes by the Second Life name "Stroker Serpentine," says he's selling because it's time to move on. Tateru Nino wrote a brief, six-paragraph profile of Amsterdam, with photos:
