Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to Freebie Hunters! One of our favorite pastimes in Second Life is scouting the grid for fantastic hunts, sales, events and gifts from all the wonderful creators. We thought we'd share the wealth and showcase some of our finds in this blog, with an emphasis on the goodies available in various SL events and hunts. We do our best to show ALL items from a hunt/event and in the manner the creator intended, but this is not always possible.

***UPDATE August, 2018- We are still finding freebie/nearly free items to share with you, but due to RL time constraints, a lot of what we find is being posted solely on Flickr. If you would like to follow the events being posted there, here is a link to the album page for our account: Flickr Albums. These are not blog posts, but simply pictures of the gifts available. Thank you!

Thank You to all of the creators!

Boats & Bikinis Event


The good folks who hosted the Under the Sea event are back again, this time bringing us the Boats & Bikini Expo! The sim-wide event is following the same format as the under the Sea event: In addition to the expo shops set up and filled with all kinds of good stuff, there is a hunt as well, giving you the chance to score some great free items.

We visited the sim just before it was open to the public and so we didn't grab any photos yet (some of the designers were still setting up and we didn't want to get in the way!) but we can give you an idea of what to expect. The landing point is a covered pavilion set on the docks in the center of the sim. There are 4 pathways across the water to the ring of shops surrounding the expo area. The water is filled with all kinds of ships and watercraft (some you can hop on and ride and some you can go inside of and explore!). The expo set up is very cute - it reminded me of summer vacations spent in beachside places, where you can wander from one little tourist shop to another.

 If you are interested in the hunt, find your way to the Hanalei Tourism Office to get started - you are looking for suitcases, and each one contains the clue to find the next, so no skipping!

We did manage to score some sneek peek items (both hunt gifts and items available for sale) so you can get an idea of what to expect.

Finally - our apologies on the photo quality. I just switched to the new Firestorm with the whatever it is to keep me able to see avs (thank you LL for breaking more stuff), and I have not yet gotten all the settings tweaked for the best images with my system. Its a work in progress. =)

Total Anarchy, Round 2

total anarchy

Time for Round 2 of the Total Anarchy discount room, and there are some really great deals to be had! Remember that the stores swap out every 2 weeks, so these are limited time sales. The current round is running from July 19th to July 31st, so if something catches your eye, don't put off paying a visit to pick it up.

Total Anarchy!

Whew! We have a TON of information for you guys about a new event kicking off in SL!

Starting today, Total Anarchy discount room will be open to the public. This looks to be interesting, folks. The idea here is to host rotating designers every 2 weeks, bringing you some of their best goth/cyberpunk/tank girl/comic/punk/vampire/alternative/metal/rockstar/biker goods (and yeah, thats a mouthful!). All the items in the discount room are priced at 66L or under and like I said before, designers will be on display for 2 weeks at a time, rotating new stores in every 14 days. We managed to wriggle our way into being added to their bloggers, so we'll be bringing you peeks at what is available each time a new round kicks off.

In addition to the 2-floor discount room building, there is also a Flickr pool for adding your own pictures - and there is going to be a cash prize contest for best pictures, so if you like to play with your camera, give it a shot!
