[Woodworkers] I put in an offer...

[Steve Bigelow]

Well, sad to say, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

We were buying from the US government, and there were some really weird
things going on. We had to submit our bid twice. We went way over asking
price and still got outbid.

Originally there was one bid from a friend of the listing agent, and it was
below asking price. The listing agent made sure to tell us he already had
an offer on the property, and wasn't really that interested in showing it.
We still looked at it and made an offer over asking price, then did the
waiting game. They finally came back and asked all interested parties to
make another offer, which is weird. We put in our second offer, higher,
last Sunday.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the buddy of the listing agent was privy
to all of the offers and was able to come in over the top at the
last minute. To my calculations, it would cost between $50k and $100k to
get the house fixed up really nice. There is also about $100k worth of
harvestable timber on the property. I'm guessing that the buddy has plans
to come in, harvest the timber, fix up the house, sell it, and make a nice
profit.

Maybe it's for the best.

Regards,
-Steve
