What was the ticket price of the course? I presume you negotiated on that!"Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

I'd actually be interested to see what people paid originally and what the lowest offers were.
I think the word "silly" has generated all the responses, together with her very high opinion of her property.
If its that good, why sell it?0 -

A friend is selling his house. Has been on the market for 4 months @ £176,000. He got an offer after 2 months for £150,000, which he declined. Now 2 months later, he is saying that he might go back as see if they still want to make that offer.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.0 -

Depends if you work as a buyer for example - if you *have* to buy, then you need to ensure you get the best deal. Price is only one aspect of the deal - there is invariably a complete package of options you need to consider or negotiate for (payment terms, long term contracts, storage and handling fees, delivery terms and dates etc etc)
The same works with buying a house - someone might be willing to pay more for a property if it includes certain fixtures or fittings, or a particular moving date can be agreed. Other variables might include the size of deposit etc. When was the last time you gave up something in a negotiation and got nothing back?
Anyway, we're going way OT here (sorry to OP)Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0 -
