If there are 10 people in a room and they all paid an average of 4,000 MANA for their LAND…
I think that’s the fair price…
If someone buys LAND for 40,000 then sells for 4,000 then the fair value is 4,000… But if they never sold the LAND then the guy put 40,000 MANA up for just 2,000 VP…
Unlucky.
Following your logic I could buy a land from myself for 2M MANA, lose 2.5% in the process on marketplace fees, but then have 2M VP from my land from having just paid 2.5% on it (50k MANA).
2M VP that I can likely use to give myself a grant to get back those 50k MANA.
The 6-month average price of land in June/December or 6-months rolling average price could set the VP for land. That should be a fair representation of the current market price without the possibility of manipulation.
Obviously you would need limits…
Somewhere between 1k MANA min and 10k MANA…
