Safeguards

Good parcels that are in the auctions right now (End time: August 30, 12:00 PM SLT) Kraizek (A) 1024m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/280764/kraizek-16-240-adult-1024m Adult water parcel, 1x protected with a "sunset" view (infinite ocean). Those are usually very expensive so the bids might get high. We'll see how it goes. Tariah (A) 1024m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/280766/tariah-240-224-adult-1024m Adult 1x protected roadside parcel. Caution: Region might be laggy due to the presence of an AFK sex club, but it might be worth getting anyway if the price is good. Good luck!

Someone overpaid for that one, unless the person really wanted that specific parcel for some reason, it doesn't make a lot of sense to pay L$150,010 for it. In this case, there are other parcels for sale outside of the auction that are cheaper, which makes it make even less sense. I found one for 97 thousand L$ and another one for about 120 thousand. I don't get it either. Strange results are bound to happen every once in a while.

Some other good parcels that will be in the auctions soon (Start time: August 07, 12:00 PM SLT) Waumer (A) 1024m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/279146/waumer-240-32-adult-1024m Adult land protected on 1 side by the road, next to a cool retaining wall built by the moles. This parcel is near the beautiful Waumer lake, so a nice view is possible there. A small portion of the region (in that lake, especially) is protected LL-owned land, which also contributes to less lag (less land available for purchase = usually less neighbors = less lag.) (End time: August 09, 12:00 PM SLT) Shakers Stoop (M) 8192m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/279147/shakers-stoop-186-30-moderate-8192m Big parcel between two big lakes. It's not protected and doesn't have direct access to the water, but it has the potential for a big building with a gorgeous view on both sides! (End time: August 09, 12:00 PM SLT) Good luck!

Some special parcels coming up at the auctions: 2 Bay City - Morton (M) parcels: 992m: https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/278805/bay-city-morton-28-58-moderate-992m 1024m: https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/278806/bay-city-morton-28-74-moderate-1024m Be warned, these will probably get some very high bids because they're protected (roadside), double prim and in Bay City (End date: August 5, 12:00 PM SLT) Gray (G) 3072m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/278894/gray-32-152-general-3072m A tiny island with a great view of the ocean (not sailable, but it's protected). Its in one of the color sims (gray) which is pretty cool. Because the rating is G (general) the bids will probably not get too high. (End date: August 06, 12:00 PM SLT) Besma (M) 1136m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/278998/besma-16-238-moderate-1136m Water parcel with a nice depth, it's protected on one side and is good for those who like to sail! (End date: August 07, 12:00 PM SLT) Geoduck (M) 3392m https://places.secondlife.com/parcels/278995/geoduck-38-224-moderate-3392m Sailable beach parcel, protected by route 7, lovely for those who like to sail. The shape is a bit strange though, triangular. Warning: the bids might get high. (End date: August 07, 12:00 PM SLT)

@BilliJo Aldrin Its lucky to buy it directly. Most of the time the good parcels are saved for the auctions (rightfully so), because LL knows they are worth more than the 1L$/m2 that they charge for that type of sale. Buying land at the auction is still usually way cheaper than buying it from someone else if a person wants that land. So its worth looking into it, I think. Sometimes good land ends up being sold there for pretty cheap prices, it's how I got my home too and Im pretty happy with it. But I understand that its not for everyone.

Hi everyone🐻 I love learning about land in SL and sharing what I know with others. I was reading some topics in the land forums and I noticed that there isn't one dedicated to the SL Auctions! Problem solved, because we have this thread now. A few topics that I think would be interesting here: 1) Parcels available: Let's talk about them and highlight the best ones to help those who are looking for a nice home 2) Wins: Celebrate! When you get the parcel of your dreams, show it to us! Or show off a parcel that you won in the past (So cool) 3) Abandoned land: Show places that you think should be at the auctions but aren't there yet I feel like this will be a beary good time!
