As I understand it you can convert between virtual money and RL money in Second Life. Check Economy of Second Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I might misunderstand it but if that is true it kinda makes this a bit more interesting. The user that copied the beds might actually have received RL money from it.
