Yeah, and I imagine exactly how this works. You pay them for the island, they issue paperwork saying you own it now... and then when you get there the actual person that owns it chases you off of their land with a gun.

There's a distinct possibility that this land is being "sold" by somebody who does not own it and is going to take the cash and run.

i'm glad other people here read escapeartist.com . i have been reading it for years... learned alot of great info there.

if you are going to buy an island, you have the money to hire a lawyer to make sure it is legit first.

I wonder what the laws on Island creation are? Say you ordered 100,000$ of gravel to be dumped at a specific location in a fairly shallow lake, and topped with soil.

If there were no legal reasons, theres no physical reasons you couldn't make your own island for a fraction of the cost of purchasing an existing one.

International law would dictate that the waters along the coastline of a country, extending out to a certain distance, are owned by that country's government.

And the only place shallow enough to affordably create a new island by filling in land would be near a continent or an archipelago. At least I think so.

But I imagine an island made by pouring detritus into a pile would be very unstable. The stuff poured to create it's foundation would settle over time due to gravity and pressure. So the whole foundation of the island would shift around a lot.

This is unless you actually poured millions of kilometers of very hot liquid rock into a shallow place where it could all solidify as a more solid singular mass. And that would be expensive to no end.

If anyone acually read that it says that the $28,000 is for 3 acres on an island.....its not for the whole island

The cheapest I have seen an island go for in the Caribbean is 10 million usd. And yes, there are people down here that do own entire islands.

They are making man made islands in the persian gulf as we type. It's an ultra exclusive hidaway for the mega rich called "The World". All the islands are made in the shape of a flat map of the earths surface. This is being done off the coast of the UAE.

So expensive that none of us will ever even be able to set foot on them, but they are there.

there was a semi-serious discussion along those lines about 4-5yrs ago.. it was more of a communal living idea.
