Hardball?
Recently I followed a particular house as it did several laps on an auction site. I placed bids on it several times, The first time for $40k which was trumped by $45k, then at $36 which was denied because it "didnt meet the reserve", then at $39k which was trumped by $52k. One time it did its week on the site and didnt get any offers so they pulled it a day early and restarted it. The other day the bank that owns it emailed my realtor saying that they had defaulted down to my $40k offer (not my most recent).
In my mind Im thinking they are playing games and just using the auction site to gather offers and then theyll follow up with whomever they choose. This makes me want to mess with them back. Im considering thelling them that my most recent offer was $39k and Im sticking to it. It seems like they would HAVE to still give it to me, but at the same time, it seems a bit petty and I should jsut take the deal and move forward. Thoughts?
