    To drag this thread back on topic from everyone's psychological issues, I would like to contribute my own opinion:

    Basically, if a seller is serious and they've not got any offers after a few months then they cut the price a bit.

    If they don't, well it's clear they're not SERIOUS seller isn't it?

    They're the sellers who are no more serious than the buyers who offer 50p and a Twix and a handjob in exchange for a 6 bedroom mansion in Surbiton.

    In the REAL WORLD, serious sellers DO drop their price to match what a buyer is prepared to pay for it. :)

    And by buyer is prepared to pay, I do of course mean what credit is available to them... ;)
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.

    Oh-ho! So you are a doctor are you? Bragging again Mr Bull!

    Are we all now to bow and scrape before you because you have a medical degree and earn a large amount of money, paid for by ordinary tax payers?

    I doubt that you are a doctor to be honest, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Clearly you have issues though if you have to advertise it all over the net.

    Idiot.


    Bear A-Team 10 - Bulls 0!!!

    Slam-dunk!!! :rotfl:
    A Doctor? I don't think so; just a lowly electrician.

    I thought you might have realised that I was taking the p*ss out of you, but obviously, you're not that bright. I'm quite sure everyone else realised.....in fact, no....I'm definite that everyone else realised.

    I did think that my opinion of you couldn't slip any lower, but you constantly surprise me.

    I realise that you probably think you are making really valid arguments, but I can assure you; you just come across as someone with the IQ of a table lamp.
    Nothing is foolproof, as fools are so ingenious! :D

    They can't be a serious seller who needs to sell for a higher figure than the buyer's cheeky opportunistic offer?

    And the not desperate sellers just carry on waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting until they see sense. ;)
