Real estate jargon

[Headbanger]

I had a guy put an offer in on our house and put my Bandit 1200 as part of the deal. When they were looking at the house (5 times) the guy was going on and on about the bike and how much he liked it. When they eventually made an offer, he had put the Bandit on the offer, to be included with the house. Fucking asshole...

Interesting, When my old boy sold his last house they put in they wanted his projector and screen, spa pool and lawnmower. He was keen as hell to dump the lot.

I also remember as a kid my parents sold the family home to some Indians, On the day we shifted our gear out they turn up and tried to stop us, they insisted EVERYTHING (all our possessions right down to our clothes) came with the house. As far as they were concerned if it was on the property on the day they signed the agreement then they owned it.

LMFAO. It ended badly.

Will not bid at AUCTIONS if there is a phone bidder, few years ago a house I was interested was a up for Auction< Auctioner started by saying one agent had a phone bidder, auction started few bids later including a couple of bids from phone bidder Ohh gosh! the agents phone rings.Result some red faced agents, most of the interested people walked out. House was relisted with different agent the next week.

What a depressing thread...
Reminds me how crap my house is, built in 1984 when builders were experimenting with alternate (i.e., CRAP!) materials. It's clad with weatherside (carboard with paint, or soggy weetbix if the paint's not maintained); it's got piss-poor insulation; the last owner was an enthusiastic (but not as skilled as he thought he was) DIYer, who probably didn't get sign-off on some of his work; the plumbing has failed 12 times since we bought it; the floor (more weetbix) dips where they've put walls next to floor joists instead of on top of them; the roof flashings aren't flash, so the roof leaks; the driveway is literally only a few inches long; the house is gradually creeping down the hill, opening cracks in the wall where some of the gib-board joins weren't taped; yadda yadda blah blah blah.

I really hope it burns down, which is unlikely since we replaced the fireplace with a heat pump, unless some wiring somewhere shorts out.

Oh yeah - the wildlife.
Rodents - both dead and alive. Both kinds stink.

The house is allegedly worth around $650k, most of which is the land, soggy, sloping piece of crappy soil that it is...

I think I might well ride into the back of a bus on the way home...
