"Half asking Price" in Manhattan

I've heard a couple of people posting all over the internets, that buildings are taking bids at half their asking. Does anyone have any proof of this? Can anyone back these rumors up? I'm looking to buy for the first time and was aiming for brooklyn but if I can sneak into the east village at around 200k for a livable sized 1BR. (none of this box to crash in stuff)I will take you all out for drinks, on me...

Try it and see!!! Just because Brooklyn Half Off uses that as a post login doesn't mean he has a grasp on reality!!!!

If you can sneak into an east village 1BR for 200K we are all going to need a lot more than a few drinks!

200K will buy you a nice 1 BR in Queens.

I think 200K is too much for some of those places on Ave. B and C...

How about a place in Thompkins Sq Park for $200?

this statement has nothing to do with math. I see "50% off sale" every day. It does not mean start of great deflation and products are twice cheaper. All it means, that sellers tries a simple selling trick and put hight asking price in first place.

I think you may have read a reference to 20 Pine Street, where the developer was selling for half off, IF you took a lot of apts, like twenty or so.

I suggest you do a LOT more research.
