    EAs are crap? Who knew?

    Seriously though, there are various reasons beyond human crapness why they aren't passing on the details, the most dodgy of which is they are lining the vendor up for a cheap offer.

    Well, as cheap as they know the vendor will accept. With a kickback going to the EA. You won't get in on the act since you aren't the EA's brother in law.

    Obviously this may not be true in this case but it isn't unknown.

    In view of everything, I might take a chance. You don't know if you don't try. Might be the house of dreams, who knows?
