Purchased Objects
Often contained within another prim
Need to be extracted from this before they are useable
Rez onto land which you can build on
Right click
Open
Copy to inventory
Items will now appear in your inventory

Unpacking

Why are things packed this way?
People like to package things – pretty boxes etc
Also means that you can add content to the package – an instruction note card, a landmark to the place you purchased it from, an image of the product etc
There may be several items packaged together – chair, table, stool

Moving things about – edit mode

Permissions
Copy – make as many as you like
Modify – change the object (may be some restrictions)
Transfer – give it to someone else
Objects usually come as either:
Copy and modify
Transfer
Full permissions are less common
