Doctor Who thing: what would the TARDIS be worth on the open real-estate market?

Tue, Apr 02, 2013

A lot of questionable assumptions went into this. But it’s fun to think about the humorous episode that could be spun from a real-estate agent wandering around trying to assess the TARDIS’s value…

I don’t think that 10′ x 4′ 5″ can be right for the base of the TARDIS, as I’ve never seen it with anything other than a square (external) footprint. I think the 10 foot measurement must be the height.

If I convert 44.2 square feet to square meters, I get 4.1 square meters or roughly 2×2 meters. I have a bedroom of that size and that looks like it is at least twice the outside size of the TARDIS, so I think they made a calculation error here.

4.42 feet square (or 1.32 meter square) sounds much more reasonable, though that still seems on the large side. I’d have guessed more in direction of 1.2 meters square.

Actually the price of the Tardis is also shifting. The rule in real estate is location, location, location, so you see…

ahh, but the tardis is not real estate. it’s a mobile home, not unlike an RV or a trailer. so how many double wides (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wide) is it equivalent to?
