[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$1000 isn't going to make a difference to your septic tank if its close enough to failing that 1 extra person (who is out working all day) is going to break it.

One must always look at the marginal cost vs. gain in any situation.  Lets say you rented it out all summer to strangers. it sounds like  a bit of a cr&phole but you could get, what, $2500/month for it?  So you'd get $7500 for the summer.  Since the youngsters will be living there, you're already giving up $7500. Taking his grand means you're giving up $6500.  Is this marginal amount worth you acting totally unclassy and cheap?[/quote]

$2500 a month for a 3 month lease on a 3 bed beach house on land?

Ahh, you're dreaming. You can't even find a 3 bed beach front house for $2500 a week on the Outer Banks (where I suspect OP's house is). And you're talking about a short term lease, which come at huge premium.

Take the shitbox listed below. It's $2900 a week. So it generates $35,000 a summer. You'd be incredibly lucky to negotiate a lease on that for $8000 a month, or a 10K discount for the entire summer. You'd have to convince the owner that your offer is better than the possibility it would sit vacant for at least three weeks, which is incredibly unlikely. Vacancy rates on the Outer Banks are in the low single digits during prime season. I don't think many of the posters here realize what a gift shed boy is being offered.

But your post only makes PP's point stronger. These people are supposedly giving up 35K, and they want to end a friendship and feel superior over charging $1K for a shed? Regardless of whether it is a fair price (it probably is, but who knows), it just confirms that she is petty and weird.[/quote]

No, it doesn't. OP's family doesn't rent the house. If I own a $50,000 Mercedes that's sitting in my garage and give it to you for $500, that's one hell of a deal for you and doesn't make me petty.

Further, OP isn't the one ending the friendship. The rude mom of shed boy did. The onus isn't on OP to offer shed boy or his mother anything. Shed boy and his mom are entitled to exactly nothing.[/quote]
