I never see anyone not a beginner sell land. I'd like to see something done about that.
Why do people not sell land? I think there's two reasons:
1. You get your money too late -- you sell it now, and you get the money next round. By then you'll no longer need the money.
2. You can't control a minimum bid.
Things I'd like to see:
1. If you want to sell land, it sells right after your turn. Before the buying/selling phase.
2. You can specify a minimum price.
3. If it has a mule on it, that is flagged and clearly visible.
Land with a good mule is much more valuable than land that you have to run a mule out to. I routinely have empty plots for much of my game.
1) Original spec has all land being auctioned in the next round's Land Grant/Auction phase.
2) Original spec allowed the seller to constantly adjust the minimum bid, as players maneuver their price lines.
3) Original spec requires land to be mule-less to be marked for sale.
In general, this is one of the last aspects of the game that needs to be examined and brought to spec!
