HI, I have maybe opportunity to get several grandfathered private "full" sim/regions  for grandfathered monthly, paying only the transfer fee. From what I read that fee is $300, I am not sure what the actual grandfathered monthly is,  I know the owner converted to so is it $179 or $209 monthly fee?

Are there other costs I need to be aware of 

Transfer costs?

Monthly costs?   

What do I need from owner, to make this transfer work?

So far the savings I see is $300 transfer vs #$349 purchase price, and monthly price saving of $259 vs grandfathered $209?

Thank you, for helping

When you buy a GF region there is a transfer fee of $300, when you pay this fee you can also change the name of the region at no additional cost and possibly (but I'm not 100% sure) also move the region at no extra cost (you need to check this with LL).  

When you purchase a region, both the seller and the buyer submit a ticket to LL with exactly the same information and must reference each other's ticket number on your own ticket submission so LL can verify both the seller and buyers interest in the region transfer.  This ticket must show how much you intend to sell/purchase the sim for, including this transfer fee.  The sale price of the sim must be in Lindens but the transfer fee is in USD, its a little haywire but that's just the way its done.  Eg. You agree to buy a GF sim for $500 incl the $300 transfer fee, the transfer fee is paid in USD but the balance, $200, has to be paid in the Linden equivalent. 

The Monthly tier on a GF region is $179 for 20k land impact, or $209 for 30k land impact. If you purchase the region and want 30k land impact, make sure you include this information on your ticket and check when the sale has gone through, I recently purchased a GF region that had 30k land impact and it reverted back to 20k so I had to add to my ticket for them to fix this up.  The tier on non GF regions is $259 for 20k LI or $289 for 30k LI so about $60 per month which is quite a saving over a year which is why GF regions are in demand. 

The seller needs to let you know what date the Tier is due each month, you need to make sure you have enough funds to cover it on your account (in USD not Lindens). If you don't have any USD on your account then LL will use whatever payment method you have on file (eg paypal or credit card) to pay for your tier.  To purchase a region you need to be a Premium account holder.

I hope this all helps!

Correction: The maintenance fee on non-GF regions is $229 for 20K LI or $259 for 30K LI, so having a grandfathered region saves you $50/month over the current non-GF fees.
