Thanks everyone its really special to be told I have such a nice little piece of land. I wish it were that way in rl lol. I probably wouldnt sell for $10000 simply because my main reason for selling is just to make some rl money and that isnt enough to tempt me . The one thing about my land I wish were different is that I would love an above the water white sand beach . I think land that is both above and below the water is really pretty. I was shocked at how hard it is to replace this lot I own with another corner lot. I havent found any. Maybe linden needs to create more of them? Are land prices high right now like they are in rl or are they dropping? I have gone to visit other land for sale at all sizes as was suggested, I dont want more then 512 ( well if they didnt charge extra for the larger parcels I would ) I dont really need more, but there was one lot that was so pretty I didnt want to leave. I also noticed some land that seemed to be on the water was actually next to linden abandoned land.Does abandoned land always get sold eventually or do some just stay that way ? Having both a skybox for privacy and the lower land to hang out in is the way I have always done it . I still have the skybox and go there a lot and you are right about my neighbors yellow ban lines they do look bad I wish he would get rid of them. And while we are on the subject of new changes and suggestions I have another one. I first joined sl way back in 2006 I left for a couple of years and have come back. Even then linden offered those 1 prim trees and plants for landscaping and nobody knew how they did it. They are 3 dimensional and only 1 prim! And they have improved them too. The trees used to sway back and forth, not just the leaves but the whole trunk ! Why doesnt linden share the technology of how they create them with the sl community ? Imagine what some of the talented residents of sl could create for only 1 prim? Elinah

Hi thanks for the reply. I agree those yellow ban lines are ugly. With all the changes in sl since I joined you would think they could do something about it. Does linden have a suggestion box lol ? And yes it is a big deal if someone can still find a way to watch you on your land. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of the privacy controls. I honestly dont want someone watching me trying on a new skin or changing clothes . Any advice on a price for my land? Someone who buys and sells land has now shown an interest in it and once again like my neighbor wont make me an offer of a price ... I think maybe people are playing haggling games with me... it is a little frustrating. Elinah

Thanks I think I have it now . i have made the privacy change to may land.This is wonderfu! A lot has changed in sl . I do wonder one thing though. Hypothetcally speaking if someone is in their house on their land and someone else nearby steps onto the same land they will regain the ability to look into the house and see the avatar in there ? And the person who owns the land may not even realize anyone is on their land and is watching them? I wonder if there is a way to alert you when someone steps onto your land. I have been looking at the expensive 512 land for sale and its confusing . While a few are offered for rent many seem to genuinely want to sell, One seemed to be surrounded by stores so perhaps thought someone who wants to start a business in sl would have deep pockets, others dont seem to realize their land is overpriced is all I can think of. or maybe they added one zero too many by mistake because they dont seem very desirable for the price,. Some are very nice but I dont know what to think of it. I just know I wouldnt pay it lol . I guess the question is at what price does desirable land start to sell and not just sit there unwanted? Elinah

ps I just downloaded the new sl viewer to be able to set privacy controls , When I went online with it to my land for the first time I found a bunch of plants and other things rezzed on my land I couldn't see before ( I was using the exodus viewer )and it looked awful.. I had tried to rez some plants and wondered why it didnt work and I couldnt see them and now with the sl viewer there they were ! I didnt even know they were there. Andsome of my fish rezzers didnt work before either and now they do. I cant recommend the exodus viewer to anyone now because of this, I am still trying to figure out the privacy controls thanks for the info and advice. Elinah

Thanks for the replies . A visitor tracker sounds like a good idea, When I asked my neighbor to make me an offer when he said he wanted to buy my land he wouldnt he wanted me to tell him a price. I was thinking of iming people on my friend's list and asking for advice ( some of whome I may have met only once and never spoke to again lol ) .Still if the price isnt high enough I might as well keep the land . I do like it. How did you know my land was on the Blake Sea ? What is the Blake Sea lol ? I guess I should say that when I make my ad,.You also write that people cant watch others anymore ? They cant focus through a wall and watch you ? That would be great! Of course I always thought those yellow ban lines were ugly. I never used them. I wish they were more invisible . Elinah

Hi thanks for your reply. I feel torn and confused. I mean I could really use that money right now and if the going rate for my land is that ridiculously high I would be stupid not to sell it wouldnt I? And yet I dont want to take advantage of anyone.. I really don't entertain much actually not at all. And I prefer my low prim skybox for privacy when I want to change clothes or try on demos, or whatever. I have always felt uncomfortable with the knowledge that anyone nearby can focus their camera into my land and see me at any time so I also have a skybox . For most of my time in sl I have been a mermaid that gets legs when I want to , so I made my land a realistic underwater world and lived under the water I think my neighbors like living next to me because of it I wll miss my pretty land but I don't really need it. I guess I have a decision to make. Here is a link to my land in sleepover anyone is welcome to tp over there and give me their opinion I need some advice please one of my neighbors has already shown an interest.

Hi I have decided to sell my beautiful 512 that I have had for many years here in sl I left sl for a while and have now returned. I chose the land well it has water on 2 sides and protected linden water all around . There are only two neighbors and they both own much more land that I do,they have done beautiful things with their land and the whole area looks very beach like and tropical and serene. I looked at many of the 512 land currently available for sale and saw only one I thought was as nice as my own. It was going for a ridiculously high price. They wanted 1 million linden for it! Thats more than a private island used to cost ! I saw other 512 priced almost that high as well. I couldnt believe it. I know its been a long time since I looked at land prices but are they really going for that high ? I dont know what price is reasonable currently . I have imed my neightbors as a courtesy to give them a chance to grab it before it officially goes up for sale . I believe they may make me offers and I dont know what price is fair. Advice would be welcome .Thanks Elinah
