Notable Second Life artist, China Tracy, has apparently sold an installation in the virtual world for US$100,000, according to the New York Times - other sources suggest that the purchase price may be 100,000 Euros, not US dollars. The NYT is scanty on specifics as to what was sold (and we're not able to locate the specific site), but it appears to be an SL site and architecture (maybe RMB City), rather than any specific item of artwork.
We're not actually sure quite yet, based on the information available, whether this constitutes an actual sale or if it is actually capital for development of the site. Right now, we're suspecting that it is the latter, and that the representation of it as a sale is not necessarily technically correct.
