I am looking into buying a private region/island from someone and am getting conflicting information. As part of transaction, I want to move the island and rename it. I have been told that this moving and renaming is covered under the $100 transfer fee if done at the time of transfer. Someone else tells me that no, it is an additional $100 to move it, and $50 to rename it, even if done at the time of transfer.

Can someone who knows from first hand experience please confirm which of these is true? Thanks!

In the $100 fee for the transfer to another owner a move and a rename is included at the time of transfer for no extra cost.

Daniel (above) is right - the move and transfer is covered by $100 when a region is transferred. The other fee is for when someone owns a region and wants a move and/or rename (and they are keeping the region).

PLEASE NOTE: The seller should ordinarily pay the transfer fee - so don't let that form part of the negotiation - you are the buyer, and there are always plenty of sims for sale.
