From: Object Pascale That's where the logic that she misses kicks in. Land dealers satisfy a significant proportion of the supply/demand cycle by trading amongst themselves. If there are enough of them, they can keep the base value rising even when there's little consumer interest in land. LL dumping tons of sims on the market changes everything though, particularly if population numbers remain static or drop. i second that, ..pretty sure some of land-bots where designed to keep the price stable too. *when nautilus was created there already was a abbundance of land for sale, any new investors stepping in now, maybe should be banned for (high risk) gambling  |

Most bot runners buy land that is priced 10% below the market. As prices fall, the margin usually widens to 20% or more. Why risk buying (probably crappy) land that you may take a loss for and not be able to dump in a few days time? In other words, bots have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the market price. Bots follow the market. |

i was trying to talk about bots in a historic/in the past item, not even sure if there are still bots out there atm, maybe only for the poor people who are not aware and set land at L$0, and sell to anyone.
