From: Rime Wirsing
Ran across a 16 sq m parcel that has an Auction Queue ID but owned by a resident and also spots an ad for a 'Lowest Bid Wins' land auction scheme.

Ummm - what gives? This has to be some kind of scam right?

Bid L$0 and demand the parcel.

Would asking them to pay me to take the parcel be lower than $L0?

I'll accept no less than 4 tmes Chris Norses offer but you'll have to also throw in a week long budget holiday in Siberia :P

Whatever you do, DO NOT pay me to take it -- unless you're willing to pay the tier too.
