[5-DayForum] Progress??

Sat Jun 2 21:20:19 EDT 2007

David,

That's great you got 12 bids!  Its more than the 1 bid you talked about
earlier!

Now you're going to find out who really wants it!  Unless you still have
tomorrow to go yet.
I forgot how you had it set up.

Follow the process and watch it go up.  Expect it to go up up up.  Be
enthusiastic!

Everyone who has been here has left a bid. Most are below the original
asking price but I have explained the process & I hope everyone understands
what is going on. I think that they all realize the value - I hope.
Although I did not have as many people show up as I had anticipated all were
quality showings. I spent at least ½ hour with each person/couple. I guess
the proof is the amount of bids left which was 12.

Is it customary for the bids that are left to be low?

David,

Expect and believe the best will happen and you won't have 1 bid.  Just as
much a possibility
you'll get 4 or 5 at the end.  (how do you teach your students in sports?)

1 Bidder:  1)  Hope its a good one
                2)  Neither of you are locked in until contract
                3)  If its not far off......negotiate some and be truthful
what you really need to go
                     to contract.  Win win.
