"If you read the New World Notes interview with the "Bush Guy" he clearly stated he set the land for sale at an extream high price to get exposer personaly I think this is BS because the price he set is an achievible price to alot of people in SL, if this is the case why didnt he set a price that is hard to achieve? why ask 5k for a 16m2 lot instead of 5 million?" Very good point, Justin. The problem is, LL just doesn't care. coco
Edit: They do care. See "May really be the very last impeach bush thread" thread.

Of course it's an achievable price.
The 16m square outside my window is $5000, I could pay it easily but it's 10 times the normal price for land and I don't like to see extortionists profit.
So me and my neigbor put up walls so we see our slightly less ugly wall instead of the sign.
If nothing is done soon I will just sell my land for whatever I can get, if I can sell it at all with that sign hanging over it.

Then return it.

From: Zal Korvin The only way to rule out land extortion would be a policy change allowing lindens to delete on request builds which are on land which is for sale. Very good point you have Zal but then comes in the factor "sell objects with land" issue the only thing that I can see be done with this is return all objects that are not for sale with the land but all one has to do is go back to all their lots and mark all objects to sell with the land bringing us all back to square 1

From: Rez Menoptra My only real question about these signs is who the hell is selling this guy these tiny plots of land? I do wonder about that too. He could be very well be buying the over price 16m plots but also one could also speculate that he could be getting it as public land. Public land is still available of plots smaller than 512m. With a good scanner it's easy to obtain and probally not in as much demand as before when plots were much bigger.
