More Xstreet SL: Finding Freebies for your Second Life

One of my favourite things to do in Second Life is to find nice freebies.  But this kitten's legs get tired running from store to store and sim to sim sorting out which freebies are keepers and which ones get buried in the kitty litter box.  Xstreet SL is the purrrrfect way to shop for freebies from the comfort of your own couch.

Freebies, Freebies, Everywhere!  There are two ways to find freebies on Xstreet.  The first is to look at the marketplace freebie list and the second is to do a marketplace advanced search and limit your maximum price to L$1.  When I checked earlier today the list of freebies, excluding non-mature items is 1,000 pages long.  That's over 10,000 freebie items! Enough to keep me purring all night long, and the next night, and the next...well you get the idea.  You can even find some naughtie freebies by enabling mature content.

However browsing through 10,000 items doesn't exactly make our shopping life easier...and that is my intended goal.   Using Xstreet's marketplace search not only helps you find a particular item you're looking for, but can also tell you if that, or a similar, item is available for free.  One of the first things I do when shopping on Xstreet is click on the advanced search button to expand the search options.  Along with the search words I set the maximum price to be L$1 and then we're off.  If there is anything matching the search words that cost L$0 or L$1 then they will be returned.   If nothing interesting is returned then I remove that and go about my search normally.  

Quite Easily Done.  The 12 days of Christmas ain't got nothing on Xstreet's list of freebies.

Freebies are great especially if you can see what your getting first instead of picking up mystery boxes. Great tip CC!
