"Shut up! I can't hear the TV!" Yeah, that's encouragement.

Wuut???? Usually your reading comprehension is pretty good. Nowhere in my post did I say that. I've NEVER told either of my kids to shut up.

Well lovely. Told us it's between us and another couple so they want our last best and final offer. What is this 1997?

Gonna up your offer?

 

[Brownslave688]

Gonna up your offer?

Yeah by maybe 5 thousand.


Still puts us at barely over 50k and a house right down the road from it that's about the same age and 100 sq ft more sold for 122k this summer.

I really don't see how these companies are making any money. I have a Walmart box with a hole in it. Judging by the smell of the liquid inside, it's a gallon of white vinegar. I'm guessing a gallon of vinegar is, at most, $3. I'm no math wiz, but I'm not seeing how Walmart could possibly be making any money on that shipment.

To me it tells you the huge discount we are giving places on shipping and sure they lose money on some items.

Loss leaders. Lose money on a few things so you can make more overall.

There is no other couple, stand firm

Isn't there a minimum on free shipping? Probably charged for shipping

I would imagine that breaks quite a few realtor laws.

Although your example is extreme, you'd be amazed at the discounts given out. I worked as a corporate services assistant in high school, we'd get a closing report when we finished up all the shipments for the day. Often times the discount we received would be greater than our cost to ship. So a greater than 50% discount

Possibly, possibly not. A quick search of some realtor message boards, say it is interesting of a property has no interest, than all of a sudden, multiple offers, and that it does happen.

The shame of it to me is the small shipper gets completely screwed.

The house has only been on the market a few weeks.


Foreclosed on in August but it took that Long for the bank to actually take control of the house.

The bank usually only wants what is owed to them and don't dicker on the price much.

Well the bank is only owed 26k. I was surprised to see it listed for 60k.
