Kinja'd!!!

After sleeping on our discussion from Wednesday, I have decided I am unwilling to proceed with the sale without a formal purchase contract prior to title search, etc.

If your position changes, feel free to contact me. Otherwise, take care and best of luck with the sale.

So yeah. Hopefully that is an end of that .

Plan is to make an offer on a different piece next week, after giving this some time to cool off.

EDIT : Seconds after posting, I received a really even handed response from the seller.

Thanks for the heads up....it was probably not the best fit for either of us.

Good move in my opinion. I would have done the same thing.

You made the right choice.

You could also wait two weeks and if he hasn’t sold it yet, tender another offer 15% lower than the first offer.

I don’t know scoob about property, but it sounds to me like he doesn’t really want to sell it.

I like your thinking, but I think I’m better off letting him come to me if he changes his mind.

Smart move, and his response confirms that.

Then lower it by 25% and send it to him so you can be entertained by his reaction.

Well handled, I’d say. His response was courteous, but a bit of a head scratcher - how is it ‘not the best fit’ for him? Money is money.

Good luck with the search!

...you want things to be above board and legal. I want things to be done with a wink, smile, and swig of moonshine that I make on the property you are looking to buy.”

I think that was code for, “I don’t actually like you or want you as my neighbor.”

I hope we’re wrong, but that’s kinda what I was reading into it, too.

I’m glad Akio is walking away from this one. This seller has bad neighbor written all over him.

Hey man, thanks again for coming up to meet me for lunch. It was good talking with you! Once Caffeine and Gasoline is back up and running, you definitely need to bring out the Alfa and meet me there sometime. If you want to grab lunch down your way sometime, just let me know.

Good luck finding the right piece of land for your shop!

Maybe not such a bad thing if that isn’t wrong. They both courteously agreed not to be neighbors. Better than faking it and finding out you can’t stand having land bordering on each other.

I’m pretty hit & miss myself, my kiddos always seem to have something going on that conflicts.

Maybe one day we’ll have to go for a drive. I’d be happy to let you take a turn in my M3, and I’d love to see what all the Alfa love it really about.

“I don’t know scoob...” Haha!
This has to get adopted into regular OPPO parlance.

I appreciate the note. I am looking for ways to say things that convey the message but stay out of the gutter. But having said that, a picture is worth two pounds of scoob:

The connotation with the emoji was definitely there - I just hadn’t seen it used like this before (I am often late to the party, though...). =)

In general, South Park is too vulgar for me, but that doesn’t make it not wicked funny at times.
