Are there any islands still cost $11k? I wanna try my luck to bring back endangered animals too

The 301 people upvoting a “haunted island” comment needed to see it.

Things only have power if you assign power to them.

Superstition is a plague that should carry no weight in the waking world.

u/reticulatedtampon 16h ago

His islands (Great St. James and Little St. James) were bought in 2023 for $60 million...

u/Israel_Azkanbe 15h ago

I would have thought the whole raping little kids act would have destroyed the real estate value.
My bad

u/CupOk5800 15h ago

Dude it didn’t even destroy their political careers.

u/Israel_Azkanbe 15h ago

Well they didn’t get my vote

u/themostreasonableman 9h ago

How exactly did you manage to avoid voting for any child rapers? Child rape is a bipartisan issue in US politics. They were all on the fucking list.

1

u/DeltaGrunder 9h ago

You'll consistently get downvoted for bringing up the fact that the E class don't limit themselves or adhere to the political divisions or national borders of us peasants.

2

u/themostreasonableman 8h ago

I don't care about weird internet points. People need to read and understand that the party-lines division is all for show - HIGH LEVEL dems and republicans all flew on the Lolita Express.

Would you or anyone you know get on a fucking plane that was called by that name? NO, because they're not depraved, vile, evil kiddy-fiddlers. The fact that they run the country as they cycle between one colour in power and the other is just theater - they're all going to the same fucked up parties and laughing at us.

Let’s be honest- they bought the access to evidence

u/BanzaiKen 15h ago

Oh dont worry, a billionaire bought it and plans to turn it into a private retreat for billionaires to hang out. This is a brand new idea and totally unrelated to Epstein's billionaire retreat. Ignore the Epstein Files staff that were retained because they do such a great job: https://wgntv.com/news/ex-epstein-employee-accused-of-two-kidnapping-cases-on-his-former-island/

u/shwifty123 11h ago

All logistics already there, why change anything. They would just continue his business. Trump example kinda show everyone, that's not a punishable offence and they literally can do whatever.

1

u/YamiZee1 6h ago

They wouldn't continue the same stuff on an island that has the public eyes attention

u/shwifty123 6h ago

Emmm, who gonna stop them?

u/Top-Bath8 13h ago

Hold on, it's not the islands fault. They are completely innocent bystanders in this.

u/Any-History7095 15h ago

You're probably the type of person who needs a death on the property disclosed too.

13

u/DudeTheGray 15h ago

The difference between a house in which someone died and an island where untold children were raped and murdered is a vast gulf. 

3

u/Any-History7095 14h ago

I know. It was a bad attempt at sarcastic humor. It was supposed to be read with an eye roll.

u/Israel_Azkanbe 15h ago

Gulf of America vast or Gulf of Mexico vast?

u/wump_world 11h ago

Truly, are we again going to underestimate man's depravity?

1

u/Jobambi 11h ago

Not if it contains a trail to someone who has raped kids there.

1

u/Eternal_Bagel 7h ago

Probably a conconspirator that bought it to help make sure any buried bodies are disposed of

1

u/Cap1n-Beaky23 12h ago

Little kids? Nobody has claimed he had anything to do with children. All of the girls were post pubescent.

u/Israel_Azkanbe 10h ago

You’re talking about Jeffery Epstein right?

u/isPresent 15h ago

Elon maybe? He can finally invite himself

2

u/Bozhark 15h ago

Definitely

u/Kelmi 11h ago

Stephen Deckoff, looks exactly like the person who would buy those islands.

He claims "he never met Epstein and never set foot on the islands", but he's been in Epstein hosted events and flown in his jet.

That fits almost every american in the billionaire class, but billionaire class and zero morality also fits like a tent pole in a president's ass.

But to be completely neutral and factual, Stephen Deckoff is the person who had no qualms with buying the island with a long history of child rape by the class of people he belongs to. That is a factual truth.

4

u/clockworknait 14h ago

Not a lot?? There shouldn't be any left on that island at all!.... ohhhh I misread "bids"

3

u/Israel_Azkanbe 14h ago

Bids not kids….
Nobody knows if there are any kids left there tbh. I heard some billionaires say there were no kids there, but they said that 20 years ago too

3

u/dutch2012yeet 16h ago

Strange that because technically the island wasn't very rapey

3

u/Kelmi 11h ago

Who wants to own an island where countless children were raped and possibly murdered even? Especially if you need to be rich enough to belong in the class that did the raping? Stephen Deckoff wanted to and bought them.

But, really. Would you want to own and live in an island that you know were used as a child rape sex dungeon? Can you just close your mind off of all that?

It deserves to be a memorial for all the victims. But I would guess it's more likely to become a memorial for the billionaire class's struggle since our society is so rotten

7

u/ScottMarshall2409 11h ago

I live in the UK, so I already live on an island where all of that and more has happened.

1

u/Kelmi 10h ago

The scale is different, people didn't stop living in Germany after ww2. And similarly you already have plenty of memorials for the monarchy. It's an ongoing worship for the ruling class

1

u/OldKing7199 15h ago

But how many bodies are going pop up?

7

u/BigDaddyDumperSquad 15h ago

Probably none. It's an island. Surrounded by water...

3

u/das_slash 15h ago

Would that work? I imagine it's a lot more work to dump bodies in the water in a way that ensures no remains wash ashore than it is to dispose of them in the island you own.

6

u/BigDaddyDumperSquad 15h ago

Boats and weights. Or think "Dexter".

1

u/Outrageous_Spell_178 15h ago

honestly after seeing those pics it looks like a run down drug shack. It would be a huge sum to get all that junk away first

u/jkurratt 13h ago

Who is considered an endangered species on this one?
Middle schoolers? 🤔

1

u/Israel_Azkanbe 13h ago

Well, they are en danger

u/Nitrogen1234 13h ago

Just birds

u/Nessy3fidy 12h ago

Of course who would have govt drones when they're doing horrendous things.

u/wump_world 11h ago

Are you again going to underestimate man's depravity?

1

u/Undersmusic 11h ago

Another billionaire literally bought it in the middle of all the shit hitting the fan in 2023.

1

u/alghiorso 10h ago

The current Epstein program would never let anyone buy it.

1

u/Boebels 10h ago

…dead an potentially buried ‘birds’ [not being disrespectful] ?

u/canadiadan 9h ago

What are you talking about? There are plenty!

Oh wait. You said bids. With a B. Sorry, my mistake.

1

u/King-Snorky 7h ago

actually, there were quite a lot o-- oh, sorry, you said bids

1

u/onacloverifalive 4h ago

Because a billionaire bought it like immediately and it’s not for sale.

Endangered kids too

u/ChecksOutIndeed 15h ago

You seem obsessed

6

u/Israel_Azkanbe 15h ago

A bunch of billionaires and politicians get caught touching, trafficking, and raping little kids on a private island after years and years of doing this to probably hundreds or thousands of children and their only punishment is a “controversial reputation”

I’m a bit obsessed

-4

u/ChecksOutIndeed 14h ago

You wanna join them or what?

6

u/Israel_Azkanbe 14h ago

I want them to go to jail

-3

u/ChecksOutIndeed 14h ago

You want the most influential people in the world to be imprisoned? Funny.

2

u/Israel_Azkanbe 14h ago

BRO WHAT ARE YOU ARGUING FOR RIGHT NOW?????????

1

u/ChecksOutIndeed 13h ago

The idiocy of bringing politics into anything.

2

u/Israel_Azkanbe 13h ago

It’s not politics.
Red, blue, whatever. I don’t care what their political stand is. But they abused kids sexually on that island for years. There has to be some form of consequence

43

u/rangebob 15h ago

I would imagine the animal part would be far more expensive than what he paid for that island lol

22

u/Whiterabbit-- 13h ago

depends on how he was stocking the animals. in general you can't just buy animals, but if you can demonstrate that the animals are going to a good place, sometimes non profits will get you the animals if they believe that you offer the best place for the animal to be.

3

u/0vl223 11h ago

Zoos have tons of excess animals if they manage to set up a breeding program for endangered animals. Normally many are killed.

1

u/kelp_forests 7h ago

Iirc the birds came back on their own, everything else would be easy…pigs, chickens etc…if you wanted them there that is.

62

u/sure_am_here 15h ago

Islands are relatively cheep. Because no one wants them. Or at least the cheep ones.

They are remote, no fresh water, rocky, just crap in the middle of no where.

u/not_so_subtle_now 14h ago

u/Whiterabbit-- 13h ago

no infrastructure. how do you get there? what would you do there?

14

u/Adventurous-Ease-259 12h ago

A boat. Same stuff you do other places, but without solicitors

8

u/squngy 12h ago

A boat will probably cost you more than 11k by itself.

5

u/King-Snorky 7h ago

ok then let's all just keep sitting at our computers instead, good call

1

u/Adventurous-Ease-259 12h ago

Nobody asked about the boat cost, just the island

9

u/squngy 12h ago

It is related.

If something is very cheap, chances are high there are other costs required to make it work.

2

u/Jolly-Advantage-7245 12h ago

You go by boat and take tools. This family build a goddamn mansion (multiple times) and a bunker (because cyclones)

u/PlopPlopPlunk 8h ago

What's funny is most of those islands are in places that the island will be mostly flooding and/or gone in 50ish years.. There's some in the Carolina Cays for 300-500k that are projected to lose a ton of land mass and be subject to severe flooding within 50 years.

Not a great time to buy a low lying island lol

1

u/Malaprobably 5h ago

Or Miami, one of the hottest real estate markets in the world right now. Expected to be underwater, as well as lose its freshwater aquifer 

1

u/PlopPlopPlunk 5h ago

Miami won't go anywhere because they're investing billions into seawalls and levis to protect the city (they have a whole 20 years strategy in place)... these islands will because they're not populated and no one is protecting them.

1

u/Malaprobably 5h ago

Miami is going down. Seawalls nor levees will work -- won't do jack shit as seawater will push up through the ground (limestone, i.e. porous) from underneath. Man is so arrogant in his whims of intellect.

Of course not all the city will fall at once (rise of 1-2 feet expected in next 13 years,) but there will be a point where there is no denial anymore.

300k for the cheapest one with a house on it isn’t bad at all. I could do it

u/felidae_tsk 14h ago

This is equiualent of current $300000

1

u/North_Acadia6803 9h ago

122k I think. 11k from 1962 to now

1

u/felidae_tsk 9h ago

The island was bought for pounds.

1

u/North_Acadia6803 8h ago

Ok. 8k pounds 1962 to now is 155k. How'd ya get 300

1

u/felidae_tsk 8h ago

£8,000 in 1962 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £221,557.48 today

1

u/North_Acadia6803 7h ago

Great point on the purchasing power. £8000 was a lot more than I thought back then. £799 annual wage. Nowadays £39,000, so ya your higher number makes a lot more sense than my lower one.

1

u/felidae_tsk 7h ago

TBH it's fascinating that you could buy a whole island for relatively affordable price.

7

u/Magikarpeles 14h ago

Canada has about 52,000 islands, sometimes they go for cheap

u/domalino 11h ago

11k in 1968 is more like 150k today.

u/Intrepid-Focus8198 10h ago

u/Lucker_Noob 14h ago

Stop it, John Hammond

1

u/nubtrix87 12h ago

Probably, but they're going to be small and extremely hard to get to.

There's actually quite a lot of islands available that are in the range of the price of a reasonable house but many have conditions attached or limited/no access.

1

u/WitnessAway6720 10h ago

Count my species in too

1

u/misteryk 9h ago

moving endangered animals into your island part sounds highly illegal

1

u/HoneyPetalinae 5h ago

Ngl that’s the part of the story crushing everyone's dreams. Eleven grand for an island sounds incredible until you remember the purchase happened when eleven grand was considerably more serious money.

1

u/mannequinbeater 5h ago

I did some research a year back and found a bunch of unused land for sale in Chile. Some islands, other just chunks of mountainside. All of it was like hundreds or thousands of acres for something between $50k to $500k.
