However, some are dumb or too proud to admit defeat.

Hey since you are not paying a realtor you need to lower your price by 6% then I will buy it.. there by defeating the whole purpose.. and then if its a wholesaler they are really going to get hammered. no way a wholesaler in most instances can get more for the seller than an agent who has exposed the property to the entire market. 

You must experience defeat to know the victory.
