Thank you for halving the price of your canyonside land in Cottonwood so that I could finally afford to pay for it and thus complete the shape of my land there.
I hope you enjoyed having it sit for sale since November when you won it at auction, and put a ludicrous price of L$6.0/m2 on it - as it is PG land, and in the "glut of snow" release too. I have enjoyed looking out my window at the orange-edged parcel, thinking about your tier fees for land you don't want for yourself, that someone else (me, for instance) would have enjoyed winning at auction and actually... I dunno ... enjoyed for their own use.
And while you're at it, how about doing something with that 146m2 of land at the edge of the Sim, that is raised up oddly high above everything else, and has a 'For Sale' sign on it right by my tenants' window? Maybe you should actually ... oh, this is radical ... set it for sale?
Side note to Buck Spinnaker. Good job on bidding above what I cold afford for that 2048m2 in Cottonwood that reverted to Linden ownership and was put up for auction last month. I am happy you were willing to have it sit on your tier for a month before lowering the price today to below what my losing bid at auction was. I was happy to take it off your hands for a cheaper price than I would have paid if you'd not bid at auction at all. So thoughtful of you to save me money.
(Side note - http://secondlife.com/land/ reports much heigher prices per m2 for auction land than land sold in-world. Even taking into account the fact that newly-released land is often more desireable than recycled land, it clearly indicates that the age of the auction land baron is on the slippery slope to over. I'm not selling any more land till v1.6 comes out and I can develop it first, with landscaping and housing, and then sell the whole lot as a package. Thank you Philip for listening to me back in October. Six months wasn't too long to wait.)
