Trading Spaces

Couldn't resist the stupid title...

Anyway, is there any good, semi-reliable way to trade houses with someone? I mean you could both sell your house and have the other house's realty listing up and keep refreshing and I think that would probably be pretty foolproof unless someone knew you were selling your house and felt like being a jerk, but I'm just wondering if there is at all a more elegant solution than just hoping it will work out.

  • I believe the first option is the only option Devers. Place it on the realty listing and keep refreshing keeping your fingers crossed that someone else does not grab it too quickly.

  • Anybody who felt like 'being a jerk' would themselves have to be homeless to cause any trouble. Otherwise, they couldn't buy your house.

    I have moved many, many, many (*sigh*) times in recent times. There's no easy way to trade, though I have traded on one occasion. You just need to move fast. Have both parties sitting with the 'buy' page reloaded for the corresponding houses. It's pretty unlikely a third party would would happen to snipe one of the houses if the process coordinate and done quickly in a matter of seconds.

    One of the times I moved, I did it in a rather high-risk fashion. I have enough large bags (full ones) to entirely fill both my backpack and my storage cabinet. So I carefully set the extra bags outside the door of my old house, sold the old house, bought and teleported to the new house, dropped the bags in my backpack and sweated bullets for the five minute timeout until I could teleport back and snatch up my bags. I did this in the middle of the night and residential areas are fairly low-traffic so it was uneventful. But also pretty scary.

  • There may be an easier way.... both of you could go to each others houses and then once you sell the house, you can just click the door(for sale sign) rather than search for it in the listings... but I have never tried that so someone will have to back me up on this.
