I do not want to simply become a statistic, I want to learn from this experience (as painful and embarrassing as it may be).

The website should have a "Bid Statistics" link that will show you all of the bids 10 days after a bid has been accepted.

Dang statistics always come out true :) And everyone says statistics are lies in disguise :)

this country's savings statistics have been, relative to other industrialized nations, abysmal at best since the 80's and probably before.

There are also statistics that show that of the nation's wealthy, over 35% of their holdings are in RE.In order to suceed in this business, you must be educated and must build a great team which includes your significant other.Enough said.

I know you are a bold guy, but are you saying you put a sign in the front yard as if you own the property?

If you believe the statistics put out by people who have a vested interest in things being rosy, then see my sig below.

If you put your faith in government statistics, you are in for a rude awakening, they are in the business of covering their butts, and have absolutely no interest in telling us the truth about prices and wages.

All you have are statistics and myriad studies with varying assumptions.

Act confidently and bold, because a seller would soon say yes, after so many rejections.
