i dunno. if others feel anything like i do they wont be picking up any land at all. everyone i talk to seems to be wanting to tier DOWN, not up.
you also need to factor in who will be buying those old 512s, what they do with them, and how that affects the value of the remaining land for sale. if somebody like umnik grabs the 512...

They've also said that they're going to be doing more on recycling mainland. If they can average L$3k per 512, that's US$1500 per mainland sim recycled. Maybe doesn't sound like a ton of money but they don't have to come up with new hardware. If they also automate a lot of it, they'll see very tasty margins doing this.

wtf? if my rl business had to incur a new 17.5% tax we'd be bankrupt come the end of month.
ll have made some very bad decisions in the past 5 or 6 months and its going to get worse. for months people kept saying 'its the summer blah blah things are about to bounce back'. guess what? they were were wrong.


Try 25% in Sweden, or 21% in Ireland

The people who buy them will probably mostly (<-- note keywords subtly disclaiming any actual knowledge) be either neighbors looking to expand/square-off their current fiefdoms, possibly also selling other areas to keep their tier from going up, or new users just looking for a bit of land.

New sims vs recycled parcels don't matter a lot to ad farmers and such, I think. They're in it for the cash and don't really care who gets screwed over as long as they're the ones doing the screwing. I can't imagine recycled land will look worse than the abandoned junkyards that litter mainland today.. Could be wrong but they've upped my meds and I'm in a good mood today.

i think its fair to say an adfarm on a clean developed sim will be of more value to an adfarmer than an empty corsican sim.

Well if things do get worse and you tier down to 0, you know you have a rental waiting for you in Liome with a very substantial "awesome AV and great friend" discount. :)


THAT option is looking more and more attractive. The sim owner [Ray] is a good friend. His manger is now a good friend and I have a very good friend as one of his tenants.
