Why would you guys buy the island without seeing it first? Were you guys just really excited?



We didn't transfer the money until seeing it. As the commenter below said, it hit our metrics, so we figured that barring an infestation of wild tigers or something, it was worth buying. So we went up, camped for a night to check it out, and wired the money the next morning.


Wouldn't an infestation of wild tigers make it more worth buying? =)


It hit three of their big metrics. What it looked like was probably a perk in comparison to cost, where it was, and availability.
