		<description>bidding is already over 4K, with 8 days left to go.  Hasn&#039;t met reserve yet.

BTW, for those who haven&#039;t been following the discussions on the Linden Forums it is a real Linden operation, with Wilder Linden in charge.  See the forums for the obligatory gnashing of teeth and rending of garments.

		<description>Uri, don&#039;t forget that if the 120 design hours are by any of SL&#039;s top architects, it could really provide some kick-ass content, some kind of special sort of world like the Elf sims or Ansheland themed sims, and that means that it could drive traffic to the island and the owner could be on the developers&#039; list to get more US cash dollar awards. 120 hours actually isn&#039;t very much as you well know from running an island. SL work is so painstakingly and so filled with borks and crashes and LSL breaks on patches and prim drift etc that they could well spend longer making a really nice them but 120 is still pretty good.

Also don&#039;t forget that if the 20 premiums take the 512s and flip them, let&#039;s say they get lucky and get $3500 per parcel, that adds to the value.

Still, I don&#039;t see how it is worth much more than $10,000-$12,000.  They&#039;d have been better off selling it with a kick-ass build, malls, vendors, casinos etc already put in for traffic.

Unless the idea is to have just a quiet getaway for your extended family and friends. Then if you have $10,000, you might rather spend it going to Cancun or something or buying a time share.

		<description>Are you guys sure that this isn&#039;t some fake thing to stir up controversy and set the stage for whisper campaigns about all of SL itself maybe going on the block? Did the ebay guy renew his VC investment again this year? Is it the end of the fiscal year? Or?

And could it be someone other than LL putting up an ad for an island?

Anshe has posted on the forums after trying to contact the emails listed etc that it seems odd and maybe not LL itself.

		<description>Not even gonna dignify your comment with a reply comment Walker, figure it out for yourself, why they would say something they are giving away for free, suddenly not free.
]

Anyways, I wonder if Anshe Chung, will be bidding for this. Rofl.

On a serious note, to be completely honest I kinda feel for Anshe, but it&#039;s not like I didn&#039;t warn her about something like this about 4 months ago during a private conference.

They did shit to One Song/My Fairplay, GOM, she was the next one up on the list. And thats exactly what I told her then. I just hope she finds a creative way to recover her losses.
Although if I were her I&#039;d reduce my invenstments in SL by 4 1/5ths, i.e. Cash most of the money out.

		<description>&quot;20 Basic Second Life memberships for your family and friends to join you valued at $228&quot;

If Basic memberships are free, how can 20 of them be worth $228?

		<description>I have to figure they have the value of this dialed in pretty well -- I mean its not like they don&#039;t know what land is worth.  Land barons will bid accordingly.  Any land barons out there want to give us a guestimate of what this is really worth?

		<description>If it doesn&#039;t meet the reserve (and it isn&#039;t rigged), this could backfire.

		<description>Bah.... Who&#039;s willing to bet that it&#039;ll be a large SL developer who purchases it?
