Why Second Life inventory transactions fail

Peter Stindberg of Babel Translations has put together an exhaustive accounting of how Second Life inventory items can be transferred between users and what the nominal success-rates of those transfers actually are. Some kinds of transfers will always succeed (except in unusual circumstances - which admittedly do happen). Others will always fail. Some ride the grey zone in-between.

If scripted or non-scripted inventory transfers matter to you (and if you're a content-creator, a scripter or distributor, they probably do), it's definitely worth your time to check out Stindberg's very cogent analysis, which includes tips on how to mitigate non-delivery issues.
