SL Freebie Hunters: Iconically Sexy Shopping District 2010 Summer Hunt

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!

Iconically Sexy Shopping District 2010 Summer Hunt

Strip down to your least laggy/scripted clothes, give your patience a shot in the arm, and head on over to the ICON Lifestyle sims for the Iconically Sexy Shopping District 2010 Summer Hunt. The lag can be insane (double-click teleports ended up being the only way we could move from shop to shop) and rez time for things to become huntable was horrendous at times, not to mention the sims being full and difficult to teleport into due to the volume of hunters/shoppers...BUT...the prizes are FABULOUS! Gorgeous designer duds by well-known names and completely worth the effort. There are 31 hidden black boxes, 1 in each participating shop, spread over 2 sims. Slap one of the hunt signs when you arrive and it will give you a notecard with the list of participating stores since not all stores on the 2 sims are part of the hunt. We found all but 3 of them, and we braved the sims more than once to go back before posting to check if the missing ones were there. We're masochistic enough that we'll probably go back again in a few days once the initial hubbub has worn down to see if we can pick up the missing items. =)

Good luck, and happy hunting!
