In addition... there is another good reason NOT to compare what happens in
EU to real life. Real life land has a price on it because they are not making land anymore - pretty certain we found it all.
MA can (and does) make new land, estates, etc whenever they want... and without warning. Market speculation is extremely unwise in this universe since we the players have absolutely NO IDEA what is coming next and NO WAY to find out.

So true... the mallshops (with a few exceptions) are of no use to me. As stated, I would rather check the auction and compare because the ability is there in the auction. I cant stand running all over creation to compare prices. And then after getting to the next shop to compare THE RENT IS NOT PAID and I cant even get in there. The malls, IMO are a farce. Looked cool and it was the latest "new thing" ingame so people bought them up for rediculous prices and the shops sold in the same manner. Nothing was gained by the community IMO. In addition, they are an eyesore on the landscape. I could get over the huge footprint of the buildings if there was some functionality but that was not to be.
Just my 2 pec... I am sure some of you disagree
