Buildings for Sale?? Don't think so...

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 17.10.2007, 19:06

I'm not a manager yet, so I don't have access to the buildings officially on the market. I do have access to these forums, and are appalled at the pricing of most of them.

Why would anyone want to buy a building for twice as much as it costs to produce? There are so many topics posted that ask for just this. Anyone can construct a building. The only advantage of buying a prebuilt building is the time factor, and the premiums some of these sellers are asking certaintly don't justify the expense.

Sadly, these CEOs need a reality check. They might ensare one victim to purchase their overpriced buidings, but I hope the majority of us can reconize a bad opportunity when it is presented.

I just wonder if these CEOs are trying to push a bad sale, or just ignorant on the math.

There is a mix. Sometimes it is people looking for suckers, but with really large buildings, sometimes it is a matter of the time invested.

As a for instance: lets say a building takes 20 days to build? That means if you built it yourself, that money would be tied up for a long time. If you buy it out right, during that time you make profit from it.

Lets say it is a mine. A mine making stones returns around 6% of its worth a day. 20 * 5% = 100%.

Just a thought.

I mgonna give you an example:

time it costs to build a 2000m2 well - 40 days
2) a 2000m2 well produces 25 000 oil a day = 1 million oil
3) 1mil oil = 50mil just in oil or the 5mil gas you make could be worth 200 million.

So when you are buying a 2000m2 well for 80 million you actually have potential to make 200 million.

time is money

i can see both sides of the aguement, but i have to say that many of the buildings for sale at the moment are ridiculously overpriced. eg just look at the building market and people are putting 500m wells on for 25million and then they sit there wondering why they aren't selling. i have built 1000m mines and wells in yellow for people and charged 27million. which i think is a fair price.

If you have done so, you actually lost money. For me as a billionaire it cost 24m to build 1000m2 mine and during the time of building I could produce 1,48m stones in that mine. Selling them on market for 13,5

well as you can see im not a billionaire so it costs considerably less to build them

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 20.10.2007, 10:52

Yes it cost less but that is at least partly compesated with increased production of that mine at lower levels.

I am not complainig. It is your business and you have full right to set your own price. I only tried to show you what that building is really worth. Demand for that building for that price is another chapter of the story....

ok, i see where you are coming from, but i didn't make it to produce stuff. i already had 6 large mines and someone asked me to build that and we agreed on 27mio. a builder would charge for the size of a building and the cost of materials and not base the price on what the building would be used for once finished.

Time is money? Time is free to the living and priceless to the dead

. Sometimes it is better to have the building now.

I could use all my resources from my warehouse and save a lot of caps by building it myself and then wait all those long days for it to finish expanding and expanding and expanding and expanding.

I could keep my warehouse full and just spend all those caps by buying it now. As soon as the contract is accepted I can start using it.

Expansion can get boring. Expansion is exciting. Expansion is expensive, but not that expensive
