Yeah, it quickly went from a reasonable and fair transaction to the Deal From Hell.
I was not born yesterday, and with *both* of them getting bizarre on me, I just figured to hell with it. Trust that Ol' Third Eye.
We have hairs on the back of our necks for a reason.
I didn't feel like getting sharpied out of a really sweet collector gun, and possibly winding up with a very evil H&K.
Screw it, I will just wait till I get to TX to do any more horsetrading or buying.
Which, btw, is coming along slow but sure.....
I should be making a run down there in the next 2-3 weeks as I have totally fallen in lust with a B&B there.
Gotta make sure the termites haven't wanted it more than me first though, hehehehe. And mine should be getting it's For Sale sign up very soon as well. Have to get the downstairs wood floors sanded and redone first though.
From the realtor brochure about the TX house:
"This magnificent 24 room structure highlights original leaded glass transoms, seven hand carved fireplace mantels, egg and dart trim, beamed ceilings, cut glass French doors, polished wood columns and oak flooring."
I want this house!
