just calculated ... if you earn average of 1200 ped per day off this land, it would take over 6 years to get your investment back.
That's not including maintenance and fert.
Edit: I should also say that I think you would earn a lot more off it than that if properly managed.
Hmm.
1400 ped per day = 511000 per year.
Let us say 11k in fert per year to maintain the turn over of kills required (2.5% of the total taxed turnover @ 4%)
To hit 1400 ped a day as a median each and every day a turnover of loot received back by participants at 4% would need to be 35,000 ped daily.
That is a lot of loot which would translate to 700 globals a day;
Let us say divide that by 5, since most people global once in a 250 ped run when using higher end weapons.
That would be 140 globals every 24-hours of every day for 72 months (6 yrs) straight on Ambu's.
^^ Ofc that is based on every participant having 100% returns when they go on a run.
Realistic spend is around 1.25 x 35,000 ped decay required to produce a return of ~ 35,000 - 4% tax ped daily received back by participants.
Then comes promotion, event & prize budget to maintain the foot-traffic required to hunt Ambu's.
Would you not say it fair to put up 20% of the yearly takings as a promotion budget ?
20% promotion/management budget would extend the time-frame of repayment by another ~ 18 months, considering you now have the 7th and most of the 8th year to cover as well in this promotion & management budget to maintain the health of participation on the LA to produce the 1400 ped daily taxed earnings.
Almost 8 years @ 1400 ped daily = 0 ped Earnings (EOI),
just 100% ROI Asset ownership.
So your investment is paid off after almost 8 years with a risk factor of the value decreasing in this unsure time of new worlds with their own LAs to appear soon and to continue appearing in the universe as time progresses.
I am fairly sure it was an accidental extra digit in pricing it.
I highly doubt such an LA would be worth more than 30k usd considering reasonable ROI/EOI prospects over a standard investment period of 5 years - 60 months.
Even with a mobile centre and TP on it - This is what I would need to see present to consider anything above the 10k (standard) - 20k (huge LA area with 2 seperate DNA habitats) mark personally.
But that is based on the average takings of LA owners I have spoken to with reasonable LAs being in the vacinaty of 150 - 200 ped daily at present as an average (usually higher on W/Es and in event/promotion periods)
Addition:
A good deal:
300,000 ped, 30k usd
If and only if there is substancial evidence to support:
100% ROI & an absolute minimum 100% EOI can be achieved in a 60 month period to consider it a worthwhile investment to invest both your money and time into (Time being EOI factor, no one works for free - 6k usd a year is reasonable)
600,000 ped
That would equate to ~ 150,000 ped per year over 5 yrs @ 4% taxed income
750k total inc the 20% promotion, management & logistics (fert) budget
Which would require a daily participant decay spent on the LA of:
1.25 x ((((150,000/365)/4) x 100) = 12,850 ped daily participant decay.
To recieve back ~ 10275 ped in loot tax by 4% = 410 ped daily median.
If the LA owner can not provide track record as evidence to prove ~ 400 ped can be maintained daily as a median over the course of at least 1 year, then it is not worthwhile in earning ROI 100% and EOI 100% for your time and effort on 300,000 ped (30k usd) invested.
All good and fine to hype it up, until your get the sucker punch called reality
