    Whatever happened to FSBO??
    That started and all of a sudden, commissions were drying up.
    You used to see FSBO signs on every other house.
    Was it the real estate end of the financial crisis ("Great Recession") that caused all that to go away? The timing seems about right.
    But in the last few years, I haven't seen but a handful of FSBO signs up -- and usually on wrecks.

    Well, regardless, this stinks of collusion right here:
