There's an exchange for this - virwox.com and bitcoincharts.com/markets/ is a list of others.

Thanks but unfortunately virwox is sort of what got me into this situation in the first place. I bought a bunch of linden on Second Life with the intention of turning it to BTC via virwox; but when I tried to deposit it in my virwox account on one of their in-game ATM's I get the message that "payment has been declined by Linden Lab's RISK API." I've been able to deposit just 100 linden but no more. Hence why I'm trying to sell it for BTC here... wish I would have just bought it on virwox directly and avoided all of this.

You can send an email to virwox and ask them to disable the RISK API for your account if it blocks your transaction.

Yeah, I sent them an email asking basically that, though I've read conflicting reports -- some say virwox easily unblocks the API thing and some say it's not really in their hands and there's nothing they can do about SL's policies or something. Hopefully the former is true.
