[QUOTE="dahut, post: 242621, member: 7780"] WE have a saying here in the South - "Every frog praises his own pond." Its natural for an owner to see his property as being of inestimable value, able to command the highest prices. At the same time, many people feel that the Greater Fool Theory is always at work. These folks like to "test the waters" with their offerings. [i](Greater Fool Theorists believe there is always a greater fool out there willing to pony up. Sometimes they are right.) [/i] Typically, all of this combines to bring an unmotivated seller to the market. In most cases you'll find they don't really NEED to sell, and are willing to hold out for someone to meet their price. If it doesn't sell, well.... its no big deal to them. Naturally, these are the worst kind of sellers for the motivated [u]buyer[/u]. I always tell such sellers what my budget is and why. If they want to negotiate within that framework - great. If not, I bid them farewll and don't let the door hit me in the @ss on the way out. [/QUOTE]
