<div dir="ltr">Well, sad to say, I guess it wasn't meant to be. <div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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. <div><br></div><div>Maybe it's for the best. </div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Regards,<br>-Steve<br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 10:06 AM Sid Hymes via Woodworkers <<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,serif;font-size:large">Most of us are actually just jealous ... really, really jealous!<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 7:42 AM Scott Rohan=Smith via Woodworkers <<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org" target="_blank">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div lang="EN-US"><div><div><div><blockquote style="border-color:currentcolor currentcolor currentcolor rgb(204,204,204);border-style:none none none solid;border-width:medium medium medium 1pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div><div><div><blockquote style="border-color:currentcolor currentcolor currentcolor rgb(204,204,204);border-style:none none none solid;border-width:medium medium medium 1pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin:5pt 0in 5pt 4.8pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">You’re going to get lost in there Steve, we’ll never see you again. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Smitty aka Scott Rohan-Smith</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Missoula, MT<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Doh, a beer I want a beer<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Ray, the guy who buys me beer<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Me, the guy whom Ray buys beer<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Fa, a long way to go for beer<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">So, I think I’ll have a beer<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">La, La la la la la la<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">Ti, no thanks I’ll have a beer<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif";color:rgb(31,73,125)">And that will bring us back to Doh!
