In the monopoly rulebook:
> Whenever you land on an unowned property you may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price. You receive the Title Deed card showing ownership; place it faceup in front of you.
> If you do not wish to buy the property, the Banker sells it at auction to the highest bidder. The buyer pays the Bank the amount of the bid in cash and receives the Title Deed card for that property. Any player, including the one who declined the option to buy it at the printed price, may bid. Bidding may start at any price.
So the bank can decide at any point in time he wants to sell a property to any player if somebody lands on that property? Or another player can bid on it?

Sure. If it's unowned. And the person who landed on it didn't want to buy it for face value. In fact, if both of those criteria are met, the property MUST be sold.

The player who landed on the property has the chance to buy it before anyone else for listed price. If that opportunity is passed up by the active player then all players bid and it goes to the winner. The bank never decides who gets the property.

The banker doesn't decide anything, all he does is handle the money. If the player doesn't buy a property as he lands on it, it HAS to go to auction, and it HAS to be sold.

Thanks!

You have no idea how many games I've 'won' through joint ownership, corporativisation and loan schemes.

I bet you don't pay all fines into freeparking and give it to whoever lands there

It doesn't HAVE to be sold if no one wants to bid any price.
The bidding may start at any price, but the banker may start it above a value that players would want to pay.

It really is a metaphor for the US.

The banker doesn't set the price, mate. Any player may bid any amount and the highest wins.

See "The banker doesn't decide anything, all he does is handle the money."
The players can bid next to nothing if they want to.

Where in that post did he say he complained

After playing the PC version I feel like I finally understand the rules properly.

He's just shitposting ironically, but most people play it this way and fucking hate Monopoly. It's not a great game either way, but this shit doesn't help.

this, the freeparking money house rule only serves to make the game longer which is also the biggest complaint of the game.
its because normies feel bad about losing and seeing others lose so the free parking windfall is a stimulus to keep players in the game longer. but its just that. it keeps players in the game longer which is counter to the point of a game called monopoly which is supposed to have one person become the winner and owner of everything.
