Hah, I was hoping Sarah had her eyes on that one. Other than being an investor with her, but not knowing her personally, I wanted so badly to drop her a notecard about this little deal. What a nice feather in someone's cap, a class 5 for under market value.

Ah but those damn pre-sales conditions that mean nothing except pulling into hell the integrity of anyone that buys it because they have to break those conditions and boot the nimord off the land for the good of the other residents.

A little history---I jointly ran that SIM from the moment it was born til around July when I got tired of dealing with the owner of it. When I heard it was up for auction, I wanted to buy it so that I could finally make it what it should have been instead of the dying crap it's turned into. So, I offered the day before the auction closed a really sweet deal to get the owner gone:

--12K of land elsewhere, paid for 60 days worth of tier and a 100US "for your trouble" buyout.
--Or a 200US cash up front to simply get out when the sale was done.

He turned it all down.

I then explained to him that this was bad business for the new SIM owner because the tennants would always be paying HIS costs basically. He'd be living off the backs of the residents. Still wouldn't buldge.

Now of course, I could have just bought the SIM, waited a month for him to get comfortable and then booted him off with no problem. But this would be my first SIM, and who wants to start their way into multi SIM ownership with a nasty deal like that. And I am not that kind of person. You have nothing but your reputation in SL and I don't want a nasty mark like that on it.

But let me add, knowing something of the new owner, he will wish he had taken my deal and run with the money because he won't be on his little island for more than 30 days before he is booted off and all that pre-condition BS becomes words on a page.

Shady, yeah, shady as hell.

PS--I am proud of the SIM owners who saw it and didn't bid. Shows me there is a lot of integrity in SL even though some would have you believe otherwise.
