I offered a very fair price. (Not my usual cheap ass practice)
Nonetheless, the seller was unhappy.
Made an offer in writing. Got a loan for 75% of price pre-approved, and shared my financial statements.

Then supposedly there was another buyer who “offered full price”.

Deal dead.

Apparently the other buyer, who “offered full price”, turned out to have no money.

Deal Back On. Promises go back and forth to finalize.

The other buyer re-emerged.

Deal Dead.

The other buyers attorney supposedly kills the contract.

Deal Back On — but now the seller wants to continue to “market the apt aggresively”

I finally agree to this because I realize it is BS and am confident that my price is the most any reasonable person would pay.

The seller agrees to have the contract and other docs delivered to my attorney yesterday morning.

Still nothing delivered.

Broker assures me documents will be in my lawyers hands by this afternoon.

And so it goes.

Biffers – If you end up (no pun intended) having to get the part made I’d suggest Ricardo – 718 499 1153 or 917 359 5447. He’s a real artist w/ iron & his prices are reasonable. Tell him I recommended you.

herro? where’d everyone go?

DH, I think it will be a good thing for the other flea market. Going to a flea market isn’t like going to Target! It will attract more customers I think if there is more than one place, like when all the parking lots on 6th Ave. in the 20s in Manhattan had flea markets on the weekend.
