I think of buildings like this- the 12's are the fat line you snort when you wake up in the morning to start your day and in the evening when your day is over. The 24's are that gorging suppertime nostril blast. The short-cycle buildings are the little "bumps" to help you get through your day- not necessarily significant, but helpful nonetheless.
I hope my metaphor disturbed or entertained someone. But my point is that I'm not selling any of them, cuz I NEEEEED THAT FIX!¡!¡!

How much have you spent on unneeded expansions? $3 billion, 4 billion? just to house junk buildings? That is serious cash that adds up to be put on LE upgrades. That is one thing I am thinking about, the other being I am getting lazy and don't want to waste time collecting several times a day. Hey, if you have all your LEs to level 10 it is a moot point, but for most of us that is not the case.Ive tried selling them before....Just can't pull the trigger.
First Real Estate isn't an issue. If you can afford the LE to begin with you can afford an expansion. Most people wouldn't even need to go overvault to get an expansion. I have Every non gold building you can buy (expect Bunkers) and have 2 open sea spots and probably a dozen land spots. Yea my next expansion is 50 million but i haven't bought any cash troops in months. In the end it's just about seeing all the cool buildings as everyone of them have a fun story
Granted yes they can get raided...but do i care if they get raided? Ohh no someone hit my supply depot!
Cash has no value anymore in the game (other than to donate to your faction or participate in the LE building quest) To me it's just fun to have them all.
Moot points?
I think your opening lines are. That's a false analogy.
You compare the sum of all these expansions to the money you need for upgrading LE buildings.
However, the money spent on expansions are spaced out (see what I did there?) by definition over 48-hour slots (assuming no gold is used).
LE expansions, if you go beyond the first few levels, are a lot of cash in a short period of time.
Granted, my next expansion will set me back 40M. What LE can I get for that?
*2/3 of a level 1 Tatra.
*A level 1 Santa Marta train station with some change.
*An upgrade to level 2 Curragh
My view:
I like the idea of hiding my avatar.
I like how my 1-hour building off-set my cash opens of boxes
I like being able to tap tap tap when I log in
I hate the thought of devaluation of buildings (selling at half price)
I'd hate the fact that I would have a lot of expansive land laying bare (even now I have bare land as the extra cash goes to the faction as well as being being prepared for the next LE, whether land or sea)
The one building I thought of selling (even today) is the infirmary.
A) I am not convinced of it working.
B) Apart from very few valor and loot units, I think my army is mostly indestructible.
Why do you need a base that covers one end of the map to the other? 80% of whats on it is junk. I too have a 100% army that is indestructible, I didn't even start building unit structures until I started LTQ. I haven't reached a level to make valour units worthwhile, even if i did I wouldn't want them, infirmary isn't a consideration to build. You are talking about spacing LE over time, but it still adds up at the end. This game is about time and how effectively you use it. Is using the resources for junk buildings and LE an effective use of time? Is wasting several minutes a day tapping chump change an effective use of real world time?
My view:
I value my time, in game and real world.
I like how i can login only once or twice a day and collect ALL of my IPH.
I like knowing EXACTLY how much i collect in a given time, it makes planning easier.
Selling level 2 steel mills and weapons factory was an easy decision.
You hate having expanses of empty land, but think it as future sites for LE buildings.
Unless your LEs are at level 10, there is always someplace to put your cash.
I know it's not logical what i do but i do it because its part of the game i enjoy. Its fun for me having the buildings.
With that being said it's no where near 3+ Billion. Close to the Half Billion Mark though.
I'm generally on 6-10 times a day. I don't worry about specific collection times (although i try to get my 24/48 when they come around but i certainly don't stop my real life for them.
Now with that 500+ million being used towards upgrades...if i could have used them towards my upgrades i would have. However you have to remember that Time is the number 1 factor in this game and then going over vault is number 2 if your going for a big upgrade. Many times i have a big upgrade already going and can't use that money towards and upgrade...i already have all the buildings and buying an expansion is "free time". The only 2 choices i had were to donate to my faction which is what i almost always do or Buy and land expansion and then donate to my faction. At no point did i pick an expansion over an upgrade.
I certailny don't have a 100% gold army. As its stands its probably only 40% right now.
I do value my time in game and real world. My buildings already have payed for themselves and the land they are sitting on. After you play for 1.5 years with those buildings its' all "Gravy" for income
I don't need to know exaclty how much to collect at any given time. I use the same strategy of collection 12/24/48 and the extras just cover me in case i get attacked in the process.
As covered there is always someplace to put your cash...but it has nothing to do with lvl 10 LE's. Its your Faction/Expansions. Those are the only 2 places i constantly see places to put my cash.

Maybe I need to compensate for ... [fill in blank].
I appreciate your feedback.
Guess some of it is personal views, which you and I and others have shared.
I guess for me it is harder to sell stuff that I spent in-game time on.
My steel mills and weapon factories are a bit higher than level 2 (say around 5) and I quite like having all the non-gold buildings...
Happy gaming!
