How not to write a purchase offer


We received an offer on our Indiana home on Thursday.
Our Realtor called me while I was at the county assessor's office, jumping through the first hoop of getting Arkansas license plates for our vehicles.
But there was much consternation about what the buyer was offering.
What was that second digit? An eight (woo-hoo)? A five (keep bidding)? Or was it a three (NFW)?
Read the number above and register your opinion over there on the right side of the page.

Eight of nine readers said the offer was for $185,000, one said it was for $135,000. Turns out it was $135k. We didn't even dignify it with a response.

I say it's an 8. Certainly doesn't look like the other 5, and I think 3 is a long shot. Maybe you're in luck.
