You know, to hear people in this forum talk, a drive down a mainland road produces an endless procesion of advertising on micro parcels. I'm surprised there are any roadfront parcels left, they should all be blocked out by micro parcels. The truth is, micro parcel advertising on a per sim basis is quite limited and not an unreasonable amount at all. Interesting logic! Anyone who doesn't buy their neighboring micro parcels deserves a blighted view for not taking personal responsibility. Just like, a small amount of murder isn't an unreasonable amount at all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 OMG OMG OMG! I thought of a business case for the OP!! Market micro-parcels to Dinkies and Tinies. Bonus: Use a toadstool on your ad signs, because "Dinkies and Tinies don't need mushroom"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that's taking personal responsibility while creating value! Good show! I've never done that. I've never put in a request for land of any size just to sell it. Now you are just making stuff up.

Yet there's this thread here about the folly of some poor schmuck who didn't have the foresight to buy the 16s in front of their tidy 512 before you showed up and disillusioned them. No extortion, just advice: "Nice little parcel ya got here, shame if somebody were to buy one of those useless 16s and dump an ugly ad on it." Maybe they learned their lesson and will buy the 16s next time. Gee, I wonder who might have some for sale now? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elleevelyn Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 13 hours ago, BilliJo Aldrin said: The owner abandoned it 2 days after I put up my ad board. As for irregular shapes I disagree, he had a modest house with lots of yard space . The 64 m cut of the back to add the road front parcels wouldn't be missed and would be compensated for by have full road access. the parcel owner already had road access on the left, 4 metres wide, which is easily wide enough for a driveway/gate to the road. From the pic it appears the parcel owner didn't care for this tho, as they had placed trees in that spot 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qie Niangao Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's unbelievable. I just caught somebody in the act of chopping up 16s on an Adult region. She got fifteen of them chopped and ten of them set for sale so far. Reported her, of course, but I think we can assume Governance has more urgent problems to address… all the more reason it should simply be impossible to set these things for sale at all. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any organisation worth its salt doesn't need advertising. Word of mouth is good enough to make them popular. Ugly ugly ugly. I went shopping for a 16sqm parcel for a project (more soon if it proves viable) My experiences shopping for a parcel ... The 16 sqm ad land market seems to be entirely incestuous, predatory and malicious. There are only a few key players and they all have similar tactics. Obnoxious advertising the parcel or parcels potential is the norm, not only "buy the view" but "buy this and make money with advertising!". Get this awesome FREE thing is common, often "security" products so sketchy they seemingly can't give them away. Most of the ads are for the land owners 16sqm land business. Funny .. no one wants to pay to put their actual message on these tiny parcels. Ads might not be rotating, but they are always full bright. Plenty are wedged in between homes or in the middle of open / abandoned plots of land. Prices go from a couple hundred to insane money where someone has pepper dashed the entire region with tiny land mines costing thousands of L$ each. Terms like ROADSIDE, PROTECTED and WATER are often deployed when parcels are "near" a thing. The intention is always " hey, I'm obnoxious! give me money. " Those sith towers are something else .. they occupy 16sqm parcels, but they're not for sale. The practice of buying small roadside, carving it up and selling the 4x4 tiles one by one is the standard business model, although some friendly people will buy large plots, cut a tile out in the middle, and ditch the bulk back to LL. It is absolutely depressing the land market. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Weird. I don't find a group called Southland Property Management. I do see BJ's House of Pleasure (adult), BJ's Live Sex Show, BJ's Southland (adult picture) and another but nothing about the business on your ads. Must be a glitch or something. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he even clicked your ad and found out it was really an adult blog, got thoroughly grossed out, THEN bailed. Is a misleading ad that directs the user to an adult site instead of a "construction" company, taking personal responsibility? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
