In good news, however, I am going to have actual writing written by ME performed by real actors on a real stage come the real month of June. I fell all Real Writer-y right now.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Congratulations, Sean! That's so fabulous!

Sean! That is awesome news! Go you!
Teppy, yes the seller's agent should advise them when they are being unreasonable in their expectations.
Suzi, I totally understand if they can't go lower, but there are better ways to go about it. Plus, they are moving into her mother's place, so I would think a lower proce wouldn't hurt them too badly.
We're not completely giving up. We probably will counter offer, but I need to prepare myself for it not going our way so that I can move on and keep looking.

sj, they may be upside down on the house and owe more than the market value. It's possible that they're trying to avoid foreclosure. The bank may be forcing them to sell for what they owe before they approve a short sale. I'd be hesitant to assume a lower price isn't harmful unless you know their specific circumstances.
I do agree that they could have communicated it in a better fashion.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
smonster - that is just crazy.
and sj I got some advice from my real estate agent -- basicly 5000 is the line not to quibble over -- so 1k say to me that they aren't ready to negotiate - good luck

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Especially if the house just went on the market. I know I didn't want to negotiate down at all at first. Even when we had built in some quibble room. I was so sure that the open houses would draw in people who would LOVE the house as much as I did and want to pay anything to own it.
Man, was I in for a rude awakening.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Woo, Sean! That's very exciting! Good on you!
smonster, WTF? Please let drama llama know that you'll be looking into a civil suit for slander. The law offices of Vortex & MFNlaw, P.C. will be more than happy to scare the shit out of her.
Heh -- great minds work alike. I suggested that to smonster about an hour ago. Why, NO, I wasn't thinking of you and Vortex...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, smonster. Drama Llama needs to be sent out to pasture.
sj, I know it's disappointing, but if it doesn't work out, another house will come.
Yay, Sean!!!!
