The reason for this is that once you relinquish ownership of the plot of land, it is not yours to sell any more. You can not sell something that you do not own, and someone else could legally buy the land plot before your 'customer' has the opportunity to buy the plot.

Dude...

Did you even read the OP? Or my post at the top of the page you posted on? Or the post directly above yours? Or any post at all in this entire thread?

This thread isn't about selling the land to another player, but back to the game for a portion of the gil you paid for it. Say you want to transfer servers, but you have a 19 million gil Medium plot. You either wait 45 days to transfer so your plot can auto-demolish and you receive 80% of your 19 million back, or you demolish it outright to transfer sooner and get back 0%. The OP is asking for a way to sell your plot back to the game, not to another individual.

Typically you never actually paid for the plot anyway. All you really did was pay someone to relinquish there hold on it. So you could then buy it from the system.

But in a controversial view I've always said they should have had a legitimate exchange system since day 1.
I.e if I don't want/need my house anynore I could directly transfer ownership to one of my tenants and let them take over it. Especially if they've helped decorate it.
along with allowing tenants to reset the demo timer if I'm away for a couple of months and there using the house everyday it shouldn't get repossessedas the plot is still being used daily.

There are many things wrong with housing but the fact players sold, exchanged and swapped plots is not one of them.

Especially when a lot of people would ideally like a house near there friends or fcs instead of being scattered all over the place. A legitimate exchange system would have been great.

To get back on track, yes I'd like to see at least some of the money given back (we do get 30% of the minimum value for relocation). As others have said if you let it auto demo you get 80% back or something of the sorts. Why not give an option to speed up that auto demolition to within 24 hours or so just in case you change ur mind. Totally helps the community get new owners back in faster and avoids the hassle of owners having to wait 45 days.

Not sure I understand? Flipping happened because people were greedy not because it was a person who bought a house and got bored with it. Flipping is when someone deliberately buys a house in order to sell it for a huge markup on the original price, for example selling a small that cost less than 5mil for 100mil.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you're suggesting that allowing people to get gil from SE for selling their house back would prevent people from selling their plot to other players. However, even if SE implements this (which I agree they should) it would not give enough gil back to satisfy flippers who are trying to make exorbitant amounts of gil in one go.

I personally don't think it was an issue if someone was selling their house to another player after they decided they couldn't or didn't want to keep it, provided they sold it for a reasonable price. For example, my friend's large house was about 45mil and someone offered him 100mil to buy it. He considered it but rejected the offer because he actually loves his house. When considering that 45mil of that cost is simply refunding him for the price he paid on the plot and the remaining amount is the actual gain... he isn't gaining all that much. Especially considering he owns plot 30 in Shirogane. However, buying a house with the intent to sell it for profit is the real issue and this suggestion wouldn't fix that at all.

Don't get me wrong though. I think this is a great suggestion and should be implemented.

Selling homes with FCs attached to it, or just selling outright to a person looking to relocate to a more desirable plot are still a thing! Just take a look! This is why people looking to relocate their house should be put behind the same RNG timer.

I think everyone forgot what a gil sink is.
