Nice work. I don't think a lowball bid of 15% below listing is a huge insult. Once in awhile they will hit that bait. Nothing wrong with that. The gatehouse at the bottom of my driveway is listed at $180k. I was wondering if a 100k offer would totally piss them off or not.
Hate to say it, but 15% under listed is a good offer in NYC right now. Most sellers refuse to admit that their place is no longer worth the inflated prices of 2005-2007 Alot of people are taking a beating due to the financial sector mess. The trickle down effect in NYC is massive. If I was buying there today, I would start at no more than 20% below listed. Glad you intend to sit tight for 5-7 years, you should be fine.
Comparing that travesty worn by Surf to what they wear might piss them off enough to come over the ocean and confront you.
I dont dress like Surf so I wouldnt know. I think surf already picked out his outfit for new year's eve. If he can only get it back form this chick who borrowed it... http://rengland.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/bc-mj-jacket.jpg
LOL..this thread is taking a real bad turn..... I expect all of us busting on surf's wardrobe to be hunted down and killed by a group of pissed off matadors and mariachi players.... too damn funny....
I know, I know, it's soooo bad to have standards. You obviously do not get out much. By NYC standards, that woman is not attractive, she is way far from stunning.
