connormacbride Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 How does people rent out an full 20k prime region for only L$15999, i did some mat and its not a very good business it cost $295 a month to own a full 20k region thats around L$74000, To just break even, the weekly rent on a full 20k region should at least be L$17652 a week (not including the $600 maintenance fee.), the most commen price for a full 20k sim is L$15999 a week, how do they do it, do they get a special price from Linden Lab because they own so many sims?

ChinRey Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Yes, they obviously get better prices than the official ones. Twice LL has had limtied time offers on "grandfathered sims" with permanent lower tier levels and there is at least one other old special deal the old established big sim owners benefitted from, probably more.

BilliJo Aldrin Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I thought the grandfathered / buy down rate was 195 a month, which is what the tier level for a mainland full sim still is and as far as i know, always was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliJo Aldrin Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 My bad, you said private regions, but yes, like ChinRey said, grandfathered and special offers for large land owners make the $15,999 a week rent on private estates profitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the grandfather price (USD$195 * 250 * 12) / 52 = 11,250 cost. They are getting quite a nice profit each week. On the non-grandfather price (USD$295 * 250 * 12) / 52 = 17,019 cost. They make a loss. Edit; there is quite a trade in grandfather sims, there is a concierge-ish like group called "forsaleby..." (I forget the exact name now), where they are commonly posted.

It's called For Sale By Owner, usually fueled with banters more than trade. Most memorable one was the review by a buyer after visiting a sim for sale "I have visited the place NOTE: The parcel is a landlocked, brown and barren hilltop" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 There is also the "Atlas Program" which allegedly gives further discounts to large estates. If you google Second Life Atlas Program you'll find further information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwin Alcott Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) next to all what is said already... perhaps this too.. don't forget lot of landlords made their renters pay for the grandfathering and higher prims as soon the original renter moves, the rent for those sims go to the normal non grandfathered levels again, and the profit is a lot higher. Same with the 10k extra prims... it's a one time fee, landlords let their renter pay it, but also raise the rent on those sims... short said: grandfathered ánd the atlas, or any other rebate arrangement, makes the bigger landlords still make a fortune ... not even daring to think about the biggest one who even has her own serverparks docked to SL.
