The challenge is that big cash is needed for houses (more than asking price, if people gouge you for millions to let go of the land as well) and nobody is patient enough to do real work for it. Hence, auctions. A couple of hours, millions of gil. Get the right person on the block, make four million gil as all of their fans open their wallets.
Alternatives that don't make you six zeroes aren't alternatives.
But I have to wonder if date auctions will continue to reel in so much gil after so many have passed--or is the decline of profits why there are so many considering I've seen some date auctions hosted by the same person within the same month? For better or for worse, date auctions are in some part a popularity contest, and after a dozen date auctions in three months, the "popular" people may grow tired of participating and their "fans" may grow tired of dishing out gil for a date. I wonder how much longer date auctions will really be the most profitable way to make gil quickly with so many of them occurring recently.
