Business' being trade-able again?

Honestly, I bought AM because it was the best business to own on Era and I had never owned a business before. I gave it up after about 7 months because I wanted to move on, and not because I wasn't making profit. I was also becoming less active and Era was becoming less appealing to me. I made back what I paid for it long before I gave it up. I'm not going back to it. I told Yeti not to give me any promotions for putting in lead/iron. I like to contribute when I can. Owning a business was just something on my bucket list for Era.

Anyone who worked under me knows that I didn't give out free ranks to my buddies. I made people work for it. You get what you put in. In fact, I followed that rule to the max. I didn't sell AM to Yeti, I passed it down to him. He is definitely most deserving of AM. When I owned it, he was very active and was #1 when it came to stocking (ammo and minerals). What I did sell to him though, was all the lead/iron that I had saved up since owning AM. I sold them to him for shop prices too ($6 per mineral).

I also want to add that I believe that I deserved to own AM. Buying a business doesn't necessarily mean that you deserve to own it, but I don't think TK would have sold it to anyone else (unless that person put in more work than me and had the money). When I became owner, I got a few messages from other people saying that they couldn't think of anyone more deserving.

From my experience though, there are a lot of people that believe that they deserve to own a business or be a certain rank, when they really don't. You get a lot of messages from workers that rarely put in work, but are asking for certain rights. Also, messages from other players asking to buy the business from you. I can understand how it feels to be frustrated when you believe that you have put in work, but aren't getting the respect you deserve. I also understand how hard it is to attain ownership of a business. I was told by the business admin at the time, Wil, that AM wouldn't be auctioned off as long as it wasn't doing poorly. So, I agree that a business shouldn't be sold, unless, it is doing poorly and/or there is no one fit to run it.

I'm confused, you never really stated a case, just rambled on about how you owned AM, do you have an opinion that I missed?

That was the only segment relevant.
