    No, you were willing to pay £7.50 for it, else you would have told them where to stick their 7.50...

    But you didn't know that when I offered a fiver - and the OP doesn't yet know what the buyers are prepared to pay ;)
    Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac ;)

    Saw it. They make money out of desperation and prey on the most vulnerable people. Makes me sick especially when one of the scum comes on here as if he's doing you a favour. :mad:

    For those posters that told the OP that a house crash was never going to happen and to hold out rather than take a cash buyer, I hope you have sent your apologies to the OP.

    I could see this credit crunch coming a mile off.

    My only hope is the OP didnt listen to you and took the cash and ran...

    Always take a profit...advice coming from a profitable gambler..and never chase loses...

    With hindsight I could maybe have haggled up to 9 quid.
    Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.
