How do the landbots work? Or is that a stupid question, considering there are a zillion lots for sale....maybe the landbots no longer roam around? Are they out of the picture now?
I priced a piece of land really low....to dump it before the next tier fee came due....and it hasn't been picked up yet....maybe not priced low enough? Or no more landbots?

I sold some mainland to a bot maybe 2 months ago. I put it up for 2L/m I think and within 15 seconds it was gone.

Yeah, landbots are not set to search for estate land since you aren't really buying the land there, but renting from the estate owner.
To get a bot to grab Mainland right now, it needs to be set at L$1.4 per meter. LL has devalued the Mainland to the point where it's virtually worthless, unless it's waterfront or in a really prime location. |

That's not worthless to people who want to buy land to use it rather than for speculating. Now the only limit on land ownership left is tier fees. _____________________

There are a few, but even few of them are buying right now. Landmachine's bots are still active.

I hadn't heard that. Do you know why? Writing on the wall, or too much land at low prices?

Elanthius was a fair landbot person! Under my old avie, my partner and I messed up and sold to a bot, he sold right back in a heartbeat!

Iunno.. he posted about it a while back; he got out of the mainland land flipping business; wasn't enough profit in it to bother anymore, I guess.
He still has some rentals somewhere, though, I think, but his "bot business" is deader than disco. |

shame they don't work on estate properties, Raymond - bet you could get some good deals there. Estate owners would love that a landbot dumb enought to buy estate land. Landbot slides in and out like a ninja and takes land for L$2000 Estate owner reposesses land and puts back up for sale at L$2000 Landbod slides in and out like a ninja and takes land for L$2000 Estate owner reposesses land............................ _____________________
