    That's the thing. It's didn't really solve much. "Exorbitant price" is very subjective. Like for example I sell my small for 5 mil (that's what it cost when I purchased it). One person can say thats exorbitant and another can say it's not. Who's right?

    Tis a good point...I cant counter this one. But imo, exorbitant is something say...3x or more of the original price...so say: 3m plot...9m is too much (like all the money me and my friends are raising for a small)

    It would be up to SE's GMs reviewing the case to decide.

    I think the issue here is that we as players were never meant to 'sell' plots between ourselves. It's like buying a piece of armor from an NPC vendor - once you use it you don't get to sell it on the market for whatever price you decide. You're only allowed to sell it back to a vendor (for a pitiful refund) or desynth/materia it. If you no longer wish to use a housing plot, you're allowed the option of leaving it unused for 45 days - after which you recover 80% of the price paid to the system for the plot as well as most of your furnishings. You lose out on fees paid for rooms and workshops, whatever you paid for special furnishings, and whatever you paid for interior/exterior structures like walls/roof/floors.

    Compared to what you lose when you sell a vendor-purchased item to an NPC, this is actually highly generous.

    Given that the system was designed that you cannot sell a housing plot directly to another player, it's feasible that the GMs can rule that asking for ANYTHING to relinquish a plot counts as exorbitant, because what it does is artificially increase the price for the buyer beyond what the system was initially designed for.

    For the seller, putting a 5th class small plot up for sale for 3 million might be just so they recover 100% of what was initially paid for it instead of the 80% they get for reclamation, but for the buyer that has effectively doubled the price of the plot since they have to pay off the seller AND still pay the system price.

    They should just make it so, that relinquished plots become buyable again at a random time between 16h-48h.

    'Reselling' would be near to impossible then.
