People get very passionate when they have strong opinions, and I think REI attracts some real strong characters, so it's par for the course.By the way, if anyone is interested the seller wants time to think about my offer and wants to look at other offers as well.

After 35 years of foreclosure deals I know that there are a few people who's entire character is wrapped up in trying to avoid paying their debts and fighting with those who are just trying to get their money back.
