Gavel Falls on Jessie Land Auctions: Land goes for gazzilions!

by Alphaville Herald on 23/08/04 at 3:14 pm

The auctioning of land confiscated from the permanently banned WWIIOLFalconBK Hanks is complete, and pretty clearly Falcon lost some serious assets. The plots sold in US dollars went for a total of $324 US. The plots sold in Lindens went for a total of L 27,149 ? equivalent to $152 US at current GOM strike price. Total sales = $476 US, for a total of 4608 virtual square meters. In part the high prices were due to the fact that this is the only ?unsafe? public sim where one can own land. It is also due to the fact that what land there is is closely held and not released to ?outsiders.? WWIIOLers and other longstanding Jessie residents made a concerted effort to keep the auctioned land ?in family?. There was also the threat of One Song possibly buying in, which led to some scare bidding. Raw numbers and names of winners follow.

The guy who lost it all, WWIIOLFalconBK Hanks, works on a turret in happier times.
