Correct me if I'm wrong, but you got 2 years at a saving of $100 a month. That's $2400. I've forgotten how much the buy-down cost, but I'm sure it was nowhere near that much - $1000 maybe? The sums say that you made a big gain. If it was much more than $1000, then my inclination would be in your favour, but not about transfer fees.

Why should the transfer fee be any different to everyone else's? You were offered reduced tier - nothing else. Do the original grandfathered sims have a lower transfer fee? If they do, I'd agree with you about it.

I sell my sim for 300 usd. transfer fee 600 usd= 900 usd,, who is going to pay this for 50 a month savings,, you must have not got caught in this or you would be singing a different tune.It cost me 1200 usd to purchase the sim. 600 and 600 buy down. keep you shovel out where you have no ***** to shovel. sorry it makes me angry that people that have no dog in the fight tell me I am wrong

with regard to the new tiers for sims. private sim owners that did the buy down for their sim
has gotten a raw deak. Not only has LL lowered the sim price, going though them, but left the
transfer fee the same for buy down sims at $600 USD. I it a shame that when we sell out sims, LL 
makes more on the sell than we do. Some have said, "suck it up, you got 2 years at reduced rates. 
Well, when I paid for the buy down no one said it was for 2 years and then I would get riped off.
All anyone wants is an even playing field. Lower the transfer fee to the same as LL charges.
Nothing we can do with our sim now, except lose the money we paid to LL.
