[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's funny, I feel the same way about your perspective. To wit: OP and her husband don't love the house and already offered the price that the house was worth to them. Seller then jacked the price. OP, not sufficiently interested in the house for the new price, is planning to walk. I agree with her decision. She sounds entirely reasonable and clear-headed about it. The house was worth it at Price A, but not at Price B. YOU are the one who's encouraging her to pay more since you're assuming she "loves" the house and desires it more than she has repeatedly stated she actually does. So YOU are the one trying to say she should act on (nonexistent) emotion and pay more. Nice try being all condescending, though.  :)[/quote]
11:10 responding.  You are confused.  I'm [u]not[/u] encouraging her to pay more.  From my very first post (7:33 on page 1 of this thread), I've told OP to counter at her original price.  She should exceed her original price only if it gets her some benefit that she values more than the extra money.  What I'm [i]opposing[/i] is any suggestion OP should lower her offer out of spite -- that's just emotional foolishness IMHO.[/quote]

I'm not confused at all. But your persistence in making the same straw-man argument about how OP is acting out of emotion and spite is unfounded and condescending. On the contrary, OP wrote: "We will probably walk away. It is not the house of our dreams." You are the one (I'm guessing male) who keeps assigning "emotional foolishness" (which in your world is, I'm guessing, code for "female thinking") to what is simply a matter of value, as determined by OP.
