Buying Land on FairChang

Buying (or renting) land on private Estates can be very confusing as each Estate owner makes their own pricing rules.
  • Many of the Estate owners advertise their parcels for sale for L$1 but you must go and pay the tier on said land almost immediately. Which on a 4096m2 land plot might be around L$10000. So in reality the land has cost you a lot more than just L$1.
  • There are those Estates which ask a substantial purchase price (example: L$10,000) and offer to refund said purchase price if you immediately pay four weeks tier (example: L$7,000).
  • Of course some Estates require the purchase price (example: L$100) and also want the tier paid within a few hours. (example: L$8000 for 4 weeks)
Here on FairChang we have chosen a simple method with no strings attached. When buying from FairChang (Pituca FairChang) the land is set for sale in L$ for the amount of tier and when you buy tier is not due for one month. In other words you buy the land for the amount of the first months tier.

One month after buying a land on FairChang tier is then due to be paid either in US$ via PayPal on our website or in L$ at one of our three ATMs.

Yes we sell, not rent. Buying the land from FairChang means :
  • You can hold the land in your name
  • Deed it over to your group,
  • You can set up the media you want.
  • You can put your own picture in the Options tab on About Land
  • You can put the land in Classified if you so desire.
  • You can add to your own properties ban list
We also have our '7 day Return' policy. This means when buying from FairChang (Pituca FairChang), you have up to 7 days to change your mind and to ask for us to refund and take back the land.

There are NO hidden charges on FairChang and we try to be fair with you.

When your monthly tier comes due you may pay in L$ at one of our ATMs or in US$ via PayPal. Both methods include a visit to one of our ATM machines. Upon purchasing your land you will receive a notecard from our For Sale sign with detailed help on paying your tier.



Visit the site (the ATM on FairChang Wharf is shown above) and left click (Touch) the ATM. It will show a blue menu in the top right corner of your screen (only you see this). It gives options. Choose 'Pay Land Tier'

It will then list all the land plots you own with a number beside them.

Example:
1 FairChang Kumori 14 L$4500
2 FairChang Cumbres 16 L$5850

In the above example the resident owns 2 plots of land. If they wish to pay the tier on 'FairChang Cumbres 16' they should press button number 2. If you only have one land plot. then just press button number 1.

Next the ATM will tell you the Land plot name, the US$ amount for that plot followed by the amount of L$ you need to pay and the time you have to do that. We limit the time the ATM will accept that payment only to limit the chances of anyone tampering with it.

Example:
FairChang.com ATM v1.1: Garth FairChang. You have choosen FairChang Puerto 7, 2048m2 single prim plot. The tier is US$16 which equals L$4500. Please right click the ATM and choose 'PAY' within the next 25 seconds.

Now right click the ATM and choose 'Pay...'. This will open a window where you pay. Click the button and your done :)

The very same ATMs can give you the Pin Pass (code number for only your account with us) you need to access the 'Owners' area of the website.

Find an ATM. Left click (Touch) the ATM and choose 'Get Pin Pass'. The ATM will tell you your Pin Pass. Write it down. Should you lose it you can do this step again and a new Pin Pass will be assigned for you.
  • Next the ATM will offer you a link to the login page of the owners area on our website. page.
  • or go to http://www.fairchang.com and click the '>OWNERS' link near the top right of the page.
  • You then use your Second Life name and Pin Pass to login and see the list of land you own on FairChang.
