I am CONSIDERING selling my Old Tier, Class 4, Private Sim. This is NOT an ad, merely a request for ADVICE!
I don't want to let my handful of renters down, but the work in maintaining it is draining, and I don't want to hire a manager (it barely pays for itself anyway). I love the sim and the people are great, but it's not living up to the themed vision I had for it. My fault likely, or unrealistic expectations, but the end result is that its not and I know I don't have the skill to make do so. I know if I sell, I can't expect the buyer to keep to the vision I had set, but if I got the right buyer, it might work.
Moneywise, I think the Lindens from a sale could be used better elsewhere as well. So I'm torn. I'd pay my renters back, give them at least 2 weeks notice, and also a bonus for the trouble. However, it's been so long since a grandfather tier island was put on the block that I have no clue how much to offer it for. My realty business is Mainland only. Even when I only average L$1000 a day, I have lots of fun. I never understood why people liked gambling till I took up SL Mainland Real Estate. I also plan to open a new club. and am working with a group on a 3rd venture, but that at least is mostly off my shoulders. I have the easy, enjoyable job there.
I've given myself a deadline of 2 weeks from tonight to make my final decision. In short, I need advice. If anyone has ideas or suggestions on how to keep my island without feeling this constant emotional upheaval, or advice on selling, or any advice, please advise!
