So what's the record for Zindra land Flipping so far?

What have we found so far now the vultures are free to feast?
Can Zindra take the crown from Bay City?

Criminal by Fiona Apple?

Hmm maybe "Highway to Hell" for the roadside parcels?

I'm sure "I Touch Myself" could be popular too

I don't know about Zindra, but a plot that went up for sale three day ago next to me has sold and resold twice, each time twice as much as before. I'm on Mature mainland.

I REALLY wish I had time to data mine all the adult land sales

I saw a few yesterday going on avg 13L per sq M

No plots sold yesterday when I was checking the list.

One next to me is listed at L$20/m2.

I would not mind seeing LL reclaim this land. Zero, ZERO!, sympathy for people who just got in on the swaps so they could flip it.

As I said in another topic, in my sim a couple of parcels are listed for about 43 linden/sqm. To be precise: 88888 for a 2048 parcel, double prim though Not that anyone is buying as far as I know, will check later today.

You'll get my giant penis* when you pry it from my cold, dead hands...

In the past when new land opened up there were people willing to do anything to get a piece of it, and land barons willing to make sure that -anything- was fully complied with...

The land barons have tried to get there this time around, faking the system to get land on Zindra just so they could sell it now at insane prices...

- But I don't think SL has that many people anymore willing to do anything to get to a new zone, and I doubt it ever will again. A few sales might happen, but those land barons are going to be sitting on some of their plots for a while.

I just hit search -> land for sale, and there's a 384m² piece on zindra for sale for 75000L.
thats somewhere along 180/m².

I looked around yesterday a bit and saw a few up not sold at 10-15 (and a waterfront at 12 ) much lower than I thought heck all my original mainland I paid at 10-15sq

But I did notice some outrages plots as well

The 10-15 are probably on the high end of reasonable.

It is new land, but no new land is hot land anymore...

I'd say its real value will be 3-5, unless they decide that people can't have sexbeds even in private spaces on mature - if they did that, Zindra's value might jump to 200-600L/sqm, and stay there... while mainland mature will hit 0... and stay there...

The lowest mainland will ever go is $L1.5 a meter no matter what rules they impose. All this fearmongering about the current mainland really bugs me. You are free to do what you want there, any old time. Worse case, you would have to rez the naughty beds or poseballs when you were ready to use them.

1.5 is hardcoded in?

It can always reach an effective 0 if there is no buyers market left for mature mainland, and the only way to clear a plot becomes abandonment.

If they remove the ability to at least 'do it in private' then mature becomes PG. Its value will be less than PG though, because there will always be that muddle ground where people who want PG worry about things changing back to an actual mature policy.

Well, right now some 512's at auction are starting at 700L. So I think that would be the base. Which is a little under 1.5L/sqm.

But the PG parcel I just watched ended at 830L, or 1.68L/sqm.

That's for PG. I wouldn't think Mature parcels will drop below PG in price.

My experience says there will be residents and land barons who will prop up the base price to at least somethng of value. Based on my experience, I say it will never go to 0 and my opinion is it will bottom out at 1.5. I could be wrong. Been wrong before but I doubt it.

Well, as policy is understood right now - mature allows you to do anything you desire as long as you're private about it. In public, its only a tad more open that PG (you can be nude and more expressive, just not sexual or violent).

The other current thread right now on that began with a claim that they were removing all of that from mature. If they did that - mature lacks value as a separate label, but PG still retains value as a 'safe zone.'

PG is where "Family Corp" would put its well known business, Zindra is where it would put its porn studios... But on mature... nothing to put there. Mature has value for residential housing. Value it would lose if that other thread's rumor came true. In that possibility, PG would end up more valuable.

Sold for L$43k, this is a 2700m2, and reset for sale at L$70k or L$25.7/m2.

Very important to note this land was not purchased by an end user for their own use. It was purchased by a speculator for resale.

A stupid speculator in my opinion because auctioned Zindra land will soon be flooding the market.

I actually wasn't surprised to see it sell for L$40k. It's really a pretty nice river-front spot.. L$70k is just silly, though.

There was a 4096 of flat green mature mainland adjacent to me that was list at $40k for the longest time (maybe a couple months). Once the owner dropped the price to $15k I picked it up.

The point being.... you'll see this sorta thing in Zindra probably too. People will put things up at absurd prices and sit on them for months until they realize they are morons and nobody will buy it.

Yeh. The land doesn't really have anything special... assuming all the advertising/rating stuff pans out in the end, it only has to compete with adult rated islands, which will be around be by the dozens and often a lot better looking.

Which brings me to the question--How do the land barons manage to hang on to overpriced parcels for so long? I see so many that are for sale for long periods of time, how do they manage the tier?
