If I sell the my Icecream shops and my Wedding Chappell. Will I get the 50% of the gold I used to originally purchase them?
They are the only gold items I own, however I rarely collect in full on them.
I have since abandoned the 5min, 1 hour, most 3 hour buildings. Looking to only have 12, 24, and 48 hour buildings, but if not worth selling, I might as well keep these gold buildings going.
You will not get any gold back if you sell a gold building.

@CC Mark: What will I get in return? I spent 75 Gold on a Wedding Chappell that is way too expensive to upgrade. There is no information available for what we are getting other than level 1 income. When you spend Gold you paid cash for, it should be worth the money you spend. This purchase was truely a horrible decision as just to upgrade to level 2 it cost 3,006,000. Seriously???? I spent 3,500,000 to upgrade a Loft to level 4 and it will pay 121,000 after it is complete every 12 hours. The Wedding Chapel will pay 16,000 every 3 hours which in 12 hours = 64,000 every 12 hours and that "IF" I collect every time without ever being robbed.
So what can I do? Email someone to remove and possibly manually give gold back?

Seems only fair to get 50% gold back...afterall, its not like you are asking for 50% real cash refund.
I agree, 50% gold back seems fair, especially for a big item like this.
35 gold back would not be too difficult to do surely.
Plus, it's not like this is a freebie player asking for help, this is a person who pays the wages!!
Skunk you need to chill out, though your point is valid there is absolutely no need to bring the "wage" card up. Lol
I think 50 percent gold is fair and the only reason I bought chapels was to upgrade them but that will take a while, lofts are my priority
just let it take up space
if you have kind of income than pretty much all the early buildings are not doing you any good anyway.
8K every 3 hours is still better than
it is better than house/ warehouse/ BB Court / Gas Station, Ice Cream shop/ Laundromat/ Diner Gun Shop/ Souvenir store / Deli/ Diner / Barber Shop / Electronics Store / Warehouse / Arcade / Fish Store even if they are lvl 10
and if you have none of these buildings than you should have plenty of space / expansions at that income level.
That said you should get gold back if you sell a gold building. There is no valid reason why you shouldn't other than greed.

I have an income of almost 35,000. My point is that I spent gold on an item that is virtually useless as when I can collect is only yielding 40% as it is constintly being robbed and the cost to upgrade from level 1 to level 2 is $3,006,000.
This upgrade cost will increase by 67% with each upgrade, meaning it is a waste of cash I paid to obtain gold and purchase this building. As to upgrade this building is virtually insane.
That means it is approx. $157,726,459 to get to level 8. And to get to level 10 it would be approx. $447,893,322. This is based off every current money buildings has an avg upgrade cost of 67% increase from level to level.
One step at a time. I know it seems impossible now but in the future it won't. My hourly income Is almost 60000. I can collect 1.5 mil per day if I time everything right
Still I would only get 40% 1-3 times a day, of max collection. After spending 450 million to get to level 10. That would be a bad decision on my end.
All these millions you are spending, why isn't it on defence? Up your defence so fewer people can rob you. Stop doing the goals so your xp does not increase dramatically and camp at whatever level you are until your defences are higher.Originally Posted by Kirbnite
This advice must be on every page of this forum by now.
I mean seriously.
@rustbinlid
Your completely missing my point and this has now off the initial concern.
Cost to upgrade to level 2 = $3,006,000. Payout = 16,000.
16,000 x 8. (if I collected at full as soon as completed every 3 hours = $128,000 per day.
Realistically collect 2-3 times at full. So looking at $48,000-$64,000.
My level 4 loft that only cost an additional 2,000,000 to get to this point = $120,000 every 12 hours.
Had the cost to upgrade been known prior to purchase, I would have spent it on a different building. So I'm willing to sell and take a 50% hit just like we get back on buildings we spend fake (in game cash on). But mark stated with his statement.
Buy gold, spend the gold, now you know it is a poor investment too bad sucker. Buy more gold and try again. Truly if I got back 50%, I would probably be more inclined to buy more gold to buy a better building. Knowing if I don't like it I'm not out 100%. But in return get back 50%.
My issue is if it is going to be this way. Publish what the gold buildings cost to upgrade and payout statistics, so we know what we are spending real cash on.
This game is so popular, yet it's like they are happy and content on the income, where they could so easily make so much, much more on a daily basis.
I don't think he's missing the point, I think that he's trying to help you get the max out of your investment.
My .02 (which is what it's worth....)
Basically, you made a purchase, used it, decided that you didn't like it, and want to return it. I know, I know.... "Had the cost to upgrade been known prior to purchase, I would have spent it on a different building."
When you go to a movie, you have no guarantees as to whether or not you are going to like it. Would you try to get your money back if it was horrible?
You purchased a high-level building. High-level buildings take a lot of time and money to upgrade. You have lofts, so you know this. You should have been able to figure out that a building that unlocks in the high 80s levels would be an expensive upgrade....
SERIOUSLY, A movie theater is your analogy to relate to purchasing in game gold?
A). Movie do advertise and you get to preview it and have an idea as to what you are going to see. Gold buildings are blind purchases.
B). If you truly did not enjoy it you can leave early and request a refund and they do give back a 100% if that is the case. (early exit). Worked this job before. Sell in game non-gold purchased buildings and get 50% of investment back. Spend real cash for gold, then use that gold (only good in this game), so 50% back would still be used in this game and maybe entice additional gold purchased.
C). Not even remotely similar as every movie is the same price.
Exactly high level buildings are more expensive, but have a good profit margin. Low level gold building has lower upgrade cost than the buildings near its position in the chain. High level gold building should reap better rewards. Not less that that high level building that I purchase with "in game" earned cash.You purchased a high-level building. High-level buildings take a lot of time and money to upgrade. You have lofts, so you know this.

Well, perhaps the movie analogy was a poor choice. I've never asked for my money back, and I've walked out on a couple of movies (Battlefield Earth?). But then again, I've never figured that my choice in movies was the movie theatre's fault.
I guess it's all a matter of perspective. The Carousels are an early-game gold building... 25 Gold to purchase gets you $100 every hour. They cost a lot of money for an early game upgrade (I can't remember now if it was $30k or 90K, but either is a lot of money for level 5 players). I suppose that by level 120, you should have an economy that will support the upgrade costs.
In my mind, the economics of this game (to include the building and upgrading times and costs) have been laid out by Funzio for a reason. I'm sure that it's all balanced out.
If you don't like your purchase, that's fine. But you made said purchase without asking for or looking for additional info on the upgrade costs. If you did, and made the purchase anyway, then you decided that the upgrade costs didn't matter as much as the return you were going to get on the Level 1 building. Or you just didn't think about it at all.
Either way, I still fail to see how any of this is Funzio's fault, and I fail to see why they should return any gold to you.
