Questions regarding changing land ownership, objects, and groups.

Soon I will be selling my land, clubs, entertainment company, and the groups and objects that come with that. I have some questions, so I can make certain all ownerships get changed properly. Please offer up any suggestions you may have, thanks in advance.

What I want to do:

I want to have the buyer take ownership of my grouped land, along with all of my objects on the land (some are set to various groups, and some are set to me). Currently my land is set to a group, and I want the buyer to own it & the group, & everything on the land.

Would you suggest I set the land to sell to only the buyer at whatever the price may be. Then when the owner owns the land, I make him an officer of the group, then remove myself from the group? I also want to make sure that the money the buyer has paid for the land doesn't get paid back to him if he's in the group the land is set to.

Also, I have rental spaces, will the vendors n items for sale stay as original owners? Because I don't want anyones items for sale to be transfered to the new land buyer.

Sorry if this is all confusing.... I just want to make sure my two partners and I (3 people in a group) get paid for land, as the buyer (1 person) takes over ownership of everything.

I can answer one part of your question. If you put the new owner into the group before the money pays out, he'll get part of the money back.

When the land sells, the money will auto distribute evenly to all group members, regardless of officer or member status at some point overnight. You do not want to add the buyer to group until after the money is distributed, or, alternatively, you could:

a) take the land out of the group to you individually (if you have tier to cover it, don't do this if you aren't the sole contributor and have room to cover the 10%) and then give out the money from the sale as applicable.

b) create a new group to put the land in with the appropriate members, just for the sale of the land, transfer the land to this group, then sell to the buyer.

Overall, its easiest to make the buyer wait a day to take over the group, assuming the money should be distributed to all members of the group as explained.


As for the transfer of items. Most likely the only ones that would transfer with the land sale (with the appropriate checkbox to 'sell objects with land') would be ones *deeded* to group (as opposed to just set to group), if that. You can use a button to 'show' what items will go with if you check off that box to test view which ones will transfer and which won't.

As for setting the land to sell to one person only... if you know who the buyer will be up front, you always want to use this option just to cover your bases.

I hope that remotely helps.

All valuable info THANK YOU!!

Now that i realize that the group the land is deeded to is only for the land with no other purpose, I could just sell the land, and disregard adding the buyer to the group.

Is there a way to easily change a mass of items to a group without hastle?

After selling the land you'll probably need to have the buyer look at who owns how many obects on the land. There's bound to be a few objects that are missed, so you'll have to go around and sell various things to him for 0. Don't worry about the vendors and such, there's no way to sell something you don't own.

If the land is in more than one parcel, you could have trouble with prim limits. For instance, suppose you have

Parcel A, main club: supports 1000 prims (2000 prims max in sim), actually has 1536 prims.
Parcel B, prim land: supports 1000 prims (2000 prims max in sim), actually has 7 prims.

If you sell parcel A to him first, 536 prims are going to get returned to inventory. If you sell parcel B first, 536 prims are going to get returned to inventory. It's something to check very carefully.

Cool, thanks for that tip.

I think the land/prim limits should be cool.... it's all one parcel of land, and i have about 100 prims spare
