Buyer's market - Pete Masterson - 04-17-2008 07:33
I agree ... when evaluating WLs before I purchased -- and when evaluating homes I've purchased over the years, I simply ignored those that were priced significantly above what appeared to be a reasonable market price.Â
I did and would consider those that were, perhaps, a "little" high with the thought that a reasonable offer might be accepted. As it turned out, I bought my coach from Mr. Olivers through an eBay auction. The price offered was "aggressive" compared to what I could parse from other WLs available at the time -- and was $30k less than the 'list' price offered on the Mr. Olivers web site. (I was the only bidder.)
Ultimately, a "fair" price is what a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller for any product.Â

Maury, My comments are a little confusing. I am not saying IÂwouldn't negotiate or never have. I just would rather not doÂbusiness that way. Some people love it. It's almost like a bloodÂsport for them. If I thought the fair price for a BB was 50% of theÂlisted price and I really was serious?  I would first ask if theÂseller would like me to offer what my research indicated was fair.ÂAnd I would offer if not my final offer darned close. Just me.
