Prices are overblown. Some people got too much cash on their hands. It will collapse upon itself and these folks with the loose checkbooks will be choking on it. Such is the nature of things. Wait em out. Nobody wants to pay these shitty land prices.

Hey, with all these people thinking land is overvalued right now, I see this as an opportunity. Contact me about selling your land for, say, L$8/m2--well above the 3-4 L$ people keep mentioning as what prices should be, and just as far below what I believe I could resell it for. Then later, when prices drop to 3-4 L$/m2, you can buy some land to replace what you have now (you can rent in the meantime).
I'm willing to risk my capital if you're willing to risk your land! It's a win-win deal!
Just think, if prices do drop, as some of you expect, to L$4/m2, you can double your land for free! Or, supposing you sell me a 2048m2 parcel, you'll end up with $L16,384 (US$60) leftover after buying a new parcel. Just think what you could do with that...you could buy land to give away to noobs at L$1/m2...you could put a money tree in your front yard...you could cash out and have a steak dinner on me!

They'll be bought, then chopped into stupid 16m tall slices the length of the sim to tick the "waterfront" box probably.
Whoever mentioned clubbing together for an island- that's not as dumb an idea as you'd think.
About 56,000L and $38 pm tier for 8192sqm sound good to you? That's what it would cost to share an island with seven other people.

From: Zenith Zhaoying Hi all, Just notice the bid price has gone above the $3500 mark for the first 8 lots of SIMS. Now I wonder who's bidding up the price... $3500 is already over the recent average. $5000 high is going to be broken soon. Poor newcomers  Zen Hmm I still can't see it on my map, east isn't it? So the whole continent will be sold before it even is visible?

The only comment I can make about mainland prices is the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent

... If LL's long-term plan is to kill off the mainland and hand over land ownership to 'barons' they're certainly going about it the right way.
Indeed, that IS the Lindens LONG-TERM plan. Open sourcing will, eventually, enable others to host their own sims as easily as they now make websites. There will not be a mainland and a group of islands, instead there will be dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of 'grids'. Of course, until the long-term arrives, we will have to survive today. |

I'm not sure it would actually be a whole lot cheaper. Colocation servers aren't all that cheap, plus LL will most certainly charge a fee to tie it to the grid and the asset server. As for separate grids, nothing in your inventory would exist there, nor would anything you buy, build or do there come back with you the moment you connect back to the main grid. Sim crossings will become even more of a pain than they are already considering the latency between a sim hosted in Europe, talking the asset server in the US, sending you over to a sim hosted in Asia. If anything happens with the connection between any of those three, you'll get the situation we all had just recently when LL had a network problem and people were left ghosted and unable to log back in anywhere. |

If they would finally let players keep their inventory on their own computers then the inventory issue wouldn't be a problem...

Several of you posted here or contacted me in World with encouraging thoughts. Thank you it is such resident kindness as this that is truly the best that SecondLife has to offer. So :  mile:: I am not rushing to cancel my account at the moment. I'll wait, and we'll see what happens; I think for a lot of us new people, if land ownership resolves to be out of reach, we WILL go. An avatar alone is not a sufficient vehicle for self-expression... |

Land speculators are Not Just for Breakfast Anymore! Also good Wardog treats. |
