Over the years, I've heard about some stubborn Sellers who wouldn't sell at any (premium) price, but then that "any price" became LOWER with time - because the rich buyer/s gave up, and moved on. 

@Jonathan Whitmore we were booked 170 nights in 2017 but could have done better if I wasn't so stubborn on price the first half of the year. 

After he did the appraisal one of his own comps sold again very close to the value we were looking to get and he still stubbornly refuses to re-consider his value based on one of his own comps.

The only thing keeping the price where it is now it the people stubbornly holding on that bought it at 1600.

I have a very stubborn mother who lives alone in a rural town.

I may be to stubborn and narrowminded and missing opportunities now, but flipping homes doesn't meet my goals for example.   

The property is in preforeclosure and the seller may be a bit stubborn still trying to sell a distressed property for market value.

while it may be a good option for high $$ conflicts and GCs that are afraid of the board, not so much for lower amounts and stubborn GCs. 

The seller was quite difficult and stubborn.

The usual play on this is that they usually are stubborn and will not sell due to who knows why.
