Now, waitaminnit. Let's review the bidding here.
He asked $315K.
I countered with $285, and forget the washer and drier I've got good ones, and please put hardwood downstairs instead of carpet.
He countered with $305, and he'll put the hardwood.
I countered with well, the roof and the airconditioner and furnace and water heater are old, knock off $15K for that.
He came back with, I'll replace the compressor, and give you a one-year warranty on the roof, furnace and water heater.
I countered with ok, but $300. The same house in drop-dead gorgeous condition is worth maybe $330-$340.
If that's not good enough, next time you can come do it for me. We don't have a spare bedroom, though, you'll have to sleep on the couch. It's mission style, wooden arms, so if you're taller than say, 4 feet, you'll have to curl up. |
