How to kill house flippers easy

[Keridwyn]

The main problem I see with this is that many sellers aren't actually trying to flip the house, they're just trying to get back what they put into it. A system that allows players to sell the house through the game at the price they initially paid, while not just relinquishing the land but actually transferring it to the buyer, would at least help by eliminating situations where an honest player pays 5m for a relinquish and then has to pay 5 more for the actual land essentially doubling what they'd need to charge or forcing them to take a cut if they want to sell later. The recent transfer system has done away with a lot of the necessity of selling a house though, but imo, eliminating house selling entirely would still hurt more than just the flippers.

This is house flipping. By offsetting your extra costs onto someone else you ensure the cycle continues. We need to find ways to end this, not perpetuate it. Nobody should have to pay more than basic plot price for a home.

This is not house flipping. The only way it's flipping is :

1. The plot is intentionally bought for resale.
2. You profit.

Many GM's have even stated that what they really only care about is when people intentionally buy plots to raise the price right after, and on top of that sell for a superrr inflated price.

Keridwyn is on every housing thread accusing anyone of ever upgrading a house or selling a house a flipper.

Sakuraluna, you are 100% right, this isn't flipping. Flipping involves profit and resale intent from the get go.

Sir, I have brought this up on two threads, hardly every, because no matter how you shake it is.

Let's say someone wants a full recoup of 21mil on their med. The next would need 42mil for a full recoup. The one after that, 63mil. Eventually you are selling at the same price as a flipper, you have become the flipper no matter if the initial intent was profit or just 'breaking even'.

Plenty of us just let the houses go, we don't look to bill the next guy for our spent gil. You can find examples of this all over this forum. You want money back for your house, the demo timer gives 80%.

I can understand wanting to break even but most of us are here looking for solutions to the problem, not ways to justify the overblown prices. This isn't a TOS matter, just a sheer numbers game. Besides, GM enforcement of player to player sales and rules is notoriously lax and up to each GM.

Flipping requires 2 things.
1. Intent to sell right from the start of purchase.
2. Profit

It's that easy.

And profit is easy to figure out each plot has a sign that tells the value of a house.at max price anyone selling a house for more then S-4mil M-20mil L-50m is profitting and needs banned.. they are flippers... the value of the houses are assigned on the plaque

Nothing in life is that simple. You believe it's alright to charge any price as long as it's not more than what you paid. I believe that's wrong and the system needs to be fixed to stop it.

The rest of that original post, just fine. Cap the price at the full cost of the plot and allow direct sales, I can get behind that.

Charging an extra 200mil because that's what you paid the last guy? Not okay.

Easy fix you add in a option that kicks in 45 days after you buy a house.after 45 days you have 3 options......

1- release plot it goes on a random timer

2- Transfer ownership of plot to a tennant with a price option that goes no higher then the price you paid for the plot
*anyone useing this option will have there gil transactions looked into to ensure no more gil traded handes between seller nbuyer)

3- dont enter your house for 45 days get 80% back but it goes on a random timer

Then you have the option of helping friends with out profiting from the sale. No one should have a problem with them checking your gil transactions unless your involed in profiting from the sale of houses or buying ftom rmt
