Land Theft in Second Life
I had two adjacent parcels of land for sale. a 1024 and a 512. the 512 was getting no interest so I decided to merge the two plots together.
I went into edit land, selected both plots and joined them.
Suddenly ppl started rezzing on the land, I realised something must be wrong with the land price and quick as I could poped up the land dialog and tried to take the new merged plot off the market.
Too Late! The plot had changed hands twice in less than a second (literally). The first buyer had bought the land for just under 2L$ a sqm, doubled the price and sold it instantly. The second buy was in the act of putting the land up for sale again to a 3rd person when I rushed in and managed to put the brakes on.
What had happened is the merge operation had put the new parcel of land on the market at the price of the smallest plot. A 1536 plot of land for sale at just over 3000L$ !
I managed to get all the participants together on the plot and spent the next hour getting all the transactions reversed (many thanks to all the other mentors for helping me out, especially Weedy).
What was very weird is all the buyers and sellers seemed to know each other, and from chatting with the other mentors it seems there are a few people who exploit mistakes with the land tools and usually get away with it (usually its impossible to fix as the land changes hands so many times so quickly).
It was quite amazing to see, the land went from under my nose and changed hands twice in less time than i could bring up the about land dialog. I am just thankful that I managed to get it all sorted out in the end and I strongly suspect that had I not been a SL Mentor, the result would have been very different.
What I would like changed to prevent this happening :
When you make any change to the area of a parcel of land, it is set to 'not for sale' - So joins and splits take the resulting parcel(s) off the market.
Hopefully this will get a positive response on the Second Life Answers Forum Edit land thats for sale = land theft.

Weedy is a Land Baron too and probably against those other Land Barons cause it hurts her biz.
If you read anything she posted in the past few months, on any of the popular SL forums you'd know this.
Regards.
I don't care what Weedy does in SL, it has no impact on this case or the issue it highlights.
What have you got against 'Land Barons' anyway, just buy your own land and get over it.
how did they get there to buy it within seconds?
are they using tools that everybody doesn't have access to?
they couldn't possibly have used the land search tab because that is too slow..

A lot of people ask me how I like living in Costa Rica. My answer is, it was the best decision that I made in my life. I came to Costa Rica 7 years ago on a vacation and quickly fell in love with the beauty of the country and the hospitality of the people here. I couldn't wait to come back. I started coming here about 4 times per year and always had a great time and didn't want to leave. Two years ago, I decided to leave Arizona and come live in Paradise. I can not tell you how happy I am that I made that decision. Today, I wake up next to the ocean and run on the beach every morning. I eat the most delicious fruits, vegetables and fresh seafood. My stress levels are much lower than when I was living in the States and the potential here for investing, truly is unlimited. The best part of living here is showing our clients this country. I really don't feel like I have a job for the first time in my life. The joy I receive when I see the look on people's faces when they get into the warm water of the Pacific ocean is truly priceless. For those of you that have come and discovered paradise, you know what I am talking about. For those of you that are on the way, I can't wait to get you here. And to those who are thinking about Costa Rica, please do yourself a favor and come down. You will have the time of your life.

In real estate, a lot is a tract or parcel of land owned or meant to be owned by some owner(s). A lot is essentially considered a parcel of real property in some countries or immovable property (meaning practically the same, sportsbook, thing) in other countries. Possible owner(s) of a lot can be one or more person(s) or another legal entity, such as a company/corporation, organization, government, or trust. A common form of ownership of a lot is called fee simple in some countries.
