Personally, I'm just amazed that the forum threads are only 2 pages long on this? Is there really no one on SL out there nowadays?
Back when they changed the sim setup pricing from $1600 to $1000, there were dozens of pages of forums.
And yes, I wasted over $5000 purchasing sims just a few weeks short of the $1600 to $1000 price change. But, I'm used to it, so I'll just summarize this Linden Lab company usual for their long-term residents as, "Gyped, once again."
