Had a rather intense "bidding" session earlier. Haha.
My mum suddenly called me today while I was trying to collect the AHM race kit..and told me that she was going to offer for this particular 4-room that caught her eye. Stunned to the max when she said the seller was asking for 40k above valuation. That's damn alot can!
I swear my mum has
never ever indicated much interest in offering anything over 20plus thousand for any house so far. Really shocked me! Of course, I had to go take a look at the flat that called out to her so much.
Apparently there was this other interested buyer..to cut a long story short, we were all supposed to rendevous in the evening to decide which buyer would get the house.
The complicated issue arose when the seller wanted to hold on to the flat longer after paperwork would be done in 3months or so. And because of that, we offered
slightly lower than the other buyer, but agreed to let the current owner stay longer. Fair what, right?
The reallyyy messy part came in when the seller decided they didn't want to hold on to the flat after all. So they gave each of us (buyers) a plain piece of paper, and told us to write down the final amount cash above valuation we would be willing to pay.
After a lonngggg discussion..and some really gentlemanly sacrifice from our agent DK (let's call him donkeykong, though I doubt he'd appreciate it much =p).....we lost by
1k.
.............
But I don't regret it. Haha. In fact, I think the successful buyer is dumb for offering so much. Now that I think about it...
hengggg we didn't win the bid. It would have been ridiculous to pay so damn much over and
above the valuation la. The house isn't worth
that much, really.
I think playing too much bridge has made me abit more willing to take risk. Lol. Part of the reason why I persuaded my mum to bid higher was because I wanted the other buyer to up their bid. HAHA. Damn bitch right. To play around with so much money. Imagine if we lost (though I was pretty confident). =p But the seller also damn ass. If they were playing a fool of us...then the successful buyer has been supremely dumb.
Okay no one probably gets what I'm saying, but it doesn't matter. I'm so glad we didn't win the bid! =D
And I'm starting to see donkeykong in a different light. He's really not too bad a guy after all. =p
Whatever it is..I just wanna hurry up and find a new place to shift to la. Hearing my mum's grouses does get on my nerves. And I
do want my own room. BIG room.
Going to catch
UP in 3D later! Late late show..and very last minute also. Hahaha. Yays! =))
