Re: how do you make sure?
See, thats what i cant work out. If we offer the asking price, which yes we can afford and yes we are willing to pay, then we jump from an offer of 302 (not our offer BTW) to an offer of 320 in one go. That means if someone comes in over us, and we still want it it could go bananas. Or, if we offfer 305 or 307, that does leave room for manouver (sp!) but wastes bloody time if we both know (vendor and me) that its not going to go for less than 320? My hubby suggested that maybe we tell the auctioneer that we offer 320 asking price if it is offered, but if not, we make no offer at all, and walk away? Or if we do that do they think they can squeeze mor out of it? GRRRRR, wish i had a crystal ball. I really dont want to spend time faffin around with stupid offers when we really want the house. What to do........
