HELP!!! Wamu, can't get any answers.

[Frank Walton]

I am dealing with a short sale threw a realtor, offer is accepted threw home owner. I have been waiting for 2 months and the only thing we got back from wamu is they will consider my offer and that they have assigned a negotiator. My offer was 196,000 and the BPO came back at 180,000 so i thought i was sitting good, but now 2 month's later a second offer came in at 197,000 only one thousand over my bid. I quess my question is how long to i have to wait to get any answers do i get in a bidding war even thow nobody knows what the bank is going to do, or is this what the bank is hoping for.
