People Are Strange

I found it strange that the people who are interested in our house haven't asked any questions about it. So I called our realtor.

"Don't you think it's weird that they haven't asked the most basic questions? Like, how old is the roof? How old is the furnace?"

"I find everything weird anymore. People are just plain weird. Who knows what they're going to ask! I sold a house to a guy a couple of weeks ago and he wanted to know if this one picture in the living room was the owners' wedding picture! Now, how the heck do I know? And why does he care?"

I laughed and she continued, "And then he asked me to find out because he wanted to keep it!"

Isn't it a strange/funny thought that this Marmy person doesn't know all these people, in different states, are pulling for her? Wonder if she has a funny feeling that she just can't shake.

Creepy!

What Jennifer said. I mean why in the world someone want someone else's wedding picture? Unless they own a picture framing shop and want to put it in the window in one of their frames.

Nah, just plain creepy!

Maybe it was a very artistic and creative wedding picture. I mean, does anyone think that coveting the American Gothic painting is creepy?

I was at a Fedex Office (ie Kinkos) a few weeks ago and saw a woman getting her wedding picture printed onto a large canvas. It was very good "arty" photography and I could understand why someone would want that.

I took it more to mean that this guy thought he should be able to get anything he wanted because it's such a "buyer's market." They've been unusually demanding because they know they are a rare species these days.

Go BG and Skimmer!

It is a very weird market. Buyers know that they can do pretty much anything and the sellers will play along. When I change out of these seller's shoes and into a pair of buyers, I'm making someone dance for my pleasure before I make an offer.
