Groddle meadow home for sale!

I'm hoping a mod will comment on whether this is ok, or not - but... Here is my idea!

I have a Groddle Meadow home (3.5k range, 12 slot, wood/fruit tree + 4 piggies) i'm not that fussed on. I prepose selling the *opportunity to buy it first* to the highest bidder. I would then tell the winning bidder a time to come to my house and put it back on the market - with them right in front of it, they would have the first opportunity to buy it.

Ethical? Lord no. But I want my 30k home dammit!

  • McGavin, I'm not sure how easy it would be to pull off logistically. Anyone can bookmark the real estate listing and buy it that way without physically standing in front of it, and I'd hate for someone to pay money for a nonexistent advantage.

  • That is the downside. BUT it would be a huge advantage - the listing should come up instantly in front of the glitch, but would require someone *constantly* refreshing the reality page at that *precise* time.

  • McGavin, are you sure the player standing in front of the door wouldn't have to refresh the page too?

  • True! Maybe all you need is a disclaimer to that effect, and a higher resale value could be yours.

  • Windborn, well no, it's a flash game - there isn't a page to refresh.

  • Interestingly enough real estate is not one of the areas opened up by the API. The auctions are though. :)

  • So all looks good!

    So if anyone is interested - GET BIDDING :)

    Interesting experiment, if nothing else.

  • I've seen other people advertising this on the forums. I wonder if they were successful.
