He said he wouldn't go below $60 - what he paid for it. So I passed. Hope I don't regret it. I'll keep an eye out to see if it stays listed or re-lists in the future.
The good thing is that by taking my brother along as bodyguard...he now knows what I'm looking for. He yard sales, thrift shops & estate sales all the time...so there's a good chance he will see one somewhere, someday.
Well, that's disappointing:< But, you made the right choice. I wouldn't doubt that you get an e-mail from him in a few weeks, after he realizes it's just not going to sell for his asking price! Of course, by then, you may drop your offer to $35 :> He may be the one to do the regretting.
