It looks like he missed a couple of spiders on the roof of house #2, fyi.

Is there a ballpark for these or is it a cash type sale?

Those 3 Houses combined would range 60B+
Is that a Bid?

Guess we are just throwing out opinions.

Not to burst any bubbles but I have to say 45 bil seems to be a pretty high bid for those three lots collectively. Especially since I've owned and sold each one of them several times over the years. Let's face it. Now a days there are a select few who would be willing to pay the steep prices for a Luna lot.

That all being said I guess we will see when the final bid comes out.

Nobody *needs* those houses. It's clearly a status thang. It's a rather nice status thing too. Sorta the ultimate rare. I would have thought 60 billion on Atlantic would be pretty reasonable. If indeed they go that cheap. I imagine most of the big players haven't even heard of this yet. It was just posted like yesterday?

Funny @Lord Nabin the last Luna that you sold was 20B*

The last 3 Lunas that I sold went for 18, 20 and 20B each
someone recently sold his 10x10 for 10B

so 60B for those 3 location is not a bad price!!



Especially since I've owned and sold each one of them several times over the years.

Yes, I sold large towers for 5M few years ago too and now they are 50m :)

so based on that @Lord Nabin , Sell me YOUR luna house for 20B!!! :)

I think we can all agree that ok, the numbers have gone up, but 1 billion does not have the purchasing power it had 2yrs ago, 5yrs ago, 10yrs ago...

I know i dont need to exolain this to those of you who are mainstays in the unique/rares community so im unsure why its even being brought up...

I think 45b is a reasonable offer for all three (better than 15b hehe :p), but it can also get closer to 60b. Like everything else in game, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay ;)

@AtlanticRealtor you can't compare those lots to Nabin's or Genesis, theirs would easily get more than 20b... more like 30b+

My Price were Not wrong after all, the current bid for all 3 houses is 60B :)
Was that your bid? Don't seem to see one.

I'll belive it when I see the screen shot of the gold for the house trade windows.

Until then well....

I truly appreciate all the feedback I am getting here. I don't think the high value of these homes is truly in question. However I do believe the personal motivations behind some of the comments are. I would respectfully like to request that the moderators clean up this thread, since a few of the exchanges do not reflect the views of Ivester or myself. Thank you all for your participation thus far.

There is a lot of gold on the line with these auctions. Please keep posts to bidding or discussion of the property, such as related price checks, questions about the lots, and so on. Leave personal comments and swipes at one another out of it.

The bid of 60 plat is real! There is to many people who don't have that kind of gold n hate or can't believe someone else could possibly pay what something is worth. Extra extra. Theres is people who are successful out there n like big boy toys lol

If this was ebay I'd say the minimum bid has been reached. How high will it go? If it were me I'd think I'd want my bid to be silent. People that need to know what's up can bid ;)

The numbers are mind blowing to me as a mere mortal. Just wondering will a player's bank hold 60 billion? lol

I am the one that pushed for public bidding, atleast between bidders. Situations like this lend themselves to "artificial bidders"

I didn't necessarily want it all out here, but with the poo flinging that went on I understand why it was, being that I had already put a few on here myself.

All I care about is that the whole process is not corrupted. I don't mind losing to another real bidder, but the phantom bidders really get my blood boiling.

If I'm spending that kind of gold. I want to know who is topping my bids. The bids need to be public. Like I always say people who don't have the gold to spend always have an excuse not to bid and they should keep there nose out of the deal. They don't understand bc they don't have experience with manly bids n success. One of the major issues is corruption when u have gold like that. Everyone has an angle. And people who have the gold clearly find 60 plat just fine to bid with our question. Bottom line is things are worth what they are worth. Dose not mean sell cheap or whatever else when the time is right u get the deal done. Big deals take time nothing in haste works out well. N having haters always slows down free market capitalism. And regulations slows down everything. Trust is a major factor n opportunity awaits. Also most people are they can't bid are not logical n see the greater vision they just see the price tag and make up story's or try to block more bids bc there friend is bidding hence a confidence sceem... so everyone note don't believe what u hear n only half of what u see. Anyways it just seems like every time anyone is trying to do a good thing there is always people that don't have the gold getting in the way! Let the big dogs do the business like in poker never speak about other people's hands. It's just respect. U are a part of stratics auction house n the rules also state stay out of it unless your bidding for a reason.

I agreed with everything you said until the whole, "manly bids n success" what does that have to do with anything? There's a hell of alot that goes on in bids like this that is absolutely unmanly and downright fraudulent. That's not my view of manly, or success. And lets be honest...It's a damn game...nothing about it says manly, or success. It does not define anyone. Other than maybe honesty, or shadiness.

Well I don't think anyone is going to turn down your bid for a lower one. lol Plus if the seller doesn't get the price he wants I doubt he could actually be forced to sell. It's pretty much all about the gold :) But your opinion in this matter certainly bears more weight than mine :)

That's what it boils down to though, Seller wants X but does not publicly come out with what X is, instead artificial/phantom bidders jack the price up. And then if a REAL bidder does come in, he/she ends up getting the item at a much higher price than what he/she may have. Which then pumps the market to artificial levels that are not sustainable. As we are seeing right now.(This is worded a bit wrong....currently I firmly believe there are no artificial bidders involved RIGHT NOW)

If the seller chooses not to sell, due to noone meeting fake bidder price it atleast tells the market what is accurate.

I have no illusions that I will ever get my 60P back out of these homes should I end up winning. They are not worth that seperately.

I had to do more thread clean up. Despite my previous public warning, people want to continue throwing out accusations and derailing the sale here. Warnings and temporary thread bans are going to follow.

Well I think it would be possible to get say 25 billion for one lot from a person that couldn't come up with say 60 billion for the 3. So it might not be a bad investment. I'm like you in one respect. I want what I want and I don't really care if it's a good investment or not. If I want it I buy it. lol I'm a sucker for books, Legends rares and Trinsic rares. I've "over paid" many times but I'm perfectly ok with that :)

For the record, I do not accept bids from unverified bidders. I have a history of successfully sorting the wheat from the chaff. I do not appreciate any comment that would presume otherwise.

My record, my reputation and integrity in UO is very well established as indisputably sterling, no matter how hard my competition or detractors might try to tarnish it for whatever selfish motivations they may have.

All the evidence of my hard work can be found here.
