 I'm kind of getting tired of being the first person to respond, offer what the person is asking (if it's good, there is no sense in haggling the price because someone else is going to come along and offer full price), get promise that I am first in line and then have them just go ahead and sell it to someone else. I have never really experienced this before. But, these people so far are just unethical as far as I'm concerned. They list a price, get 10 people wanting it and so instead of selling it to the first person that offered their asking price, they allow bidding wars to go on.  

I will not engage in such foolery.  When they do that, I bow out. If they wanted to do an auction, they should list it as an auction and certainly, they shouldn't be saying they will sell it to you and then change their mind.  The problem is most of the time these people aren't available to sell it right away so by the time they get off work or whatever, other people have come along and there it goes, right out the window. 

So I put my bid in for another one today. But, my caveat is I need to see interior pics.  I won't bother to even go look at one without seeing the inside of it and having questions answered about whether certain things work and if the roof leaks.  

There are new ads for trailers popping up at various times throughout the day, every day.  I've made offers on many dozens of them. Some full price, some less than full price, some far less than full price asked.  

Honestly, if it weren't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't be doing the grass right now for the cost.  

Oh well.  I got up early so I can get this spraying done early, I'm outta here.
