You can use your dollars for all sorts of things, including buying currency in the worls that lies through the looking glass. For more details, see my previous blog.

Ok, so selling rays is easy. Even I can do it, in fact I did, only the other day.

Click on the Marketplace Beta icon and follow the simple instructions to set yourself up with a trader account. You may need to transfer in a nominal amount of money to get started, but you can use your Paypal or Alertpay account for this, and you'll get it back.

Now, there are two ways to sell. Well, that's not strictly true. It's more like two approaches. Down the right hand side of the marketplace, you’ll see a list of people buying, together with the rate they are offering. At the moment, everyone is offering $0.070 per ray. If you sell your rays at that rate, the top people on the list will get your rays and you will instantly receive dollars in your trader account.

You can, however, chose to sell your rays at a higher rate, in which case you will go right to the bottom of the list of people selling at that rate. As people buy rays, you will gradually work your way up the list, but you’ll need to be patient.

Once you’ve sold, simply click on the Withdraw button to send your dollars to your Paypal or Alertpay account. After that, it’s up to you how you spend them, but there are some wonderful things through the looking glass, including me and my super-duper bed!

See you there.
