Well my home is worth about 2x what I owe on it and prices here in Aspen have not budged at all.So I think they sent the letter out to everybody as they are running out of cash.They stated that I could send them a BPO to get the freeze lifted.

I live in Cleveland and of course you know Lebron Jame is here, and I've seen this guy eat at restaurants, and at 6'9" 245, it does'nt seem as if he would eat 12,000 calories a day, I don't know I could be wrong.Lebron and Phelps are apples and oranges.

the other buyer went to $305K...i held at $300K but its kinda killing me- to lose out by $5k...but even if i went back in at $306K how do i know the other buyer wont lift to $310K, so im done on this deal, although the broker said he'd put both offers in and see what the bank says...
