It’s demeaning. He talks to the audience as if we were 4 year olds high on sugar frosted bomb-bombs. I expected the bi-line, “But wait!…there’s more!!” Not only will we give you $8,000 for your vote, but if you act now, we’ll throw in free food stamps! And for the first 100,000 people who sign up, you’ll get additional WIC checks! As an added bonus, if you respond in the next 24-hours, you will receive a free block of cheese as a nice house warming gift! 🙂

I like how the comment section has been disabled on YouTube. Kind of like the muzzle the U.S. Supreme Court puts on the Constitution by continually not hearing cases on the validity of the 16th Amendment.

I was in Barnes & Noble this morning and a woman realtor was having a conversation on her cell phone about the $8,000 tax credit. She was insisting that a single person only gets $4,000 and you must be a married couple to get the full $8,000. Would it have been appropriate for me to correct her? I was eavesdropping, but she was speaking too loudly for a bookstore.

To Josh,
No, she wouldn’t have believed you.
Anyway, outside of Guy and a few others, I think realtors are pretty much useless.

What do you think of the auction for 3345 Idlewild tonight? House got a not great cosmetic makeover…zillow has it in the mid $200s…

It is another non-auction auction. Undisclosed reserve. These things have become a joke.
Anybody hear about the outcome of the non-auction auction that Silverwing had last weekend on those warmed over apartments at Virginia Lake?

Do you have to register an auction or have a licensed auctioneer to run a legal auction in nevada? I think the Idlewild folks were trying to make a quick buck and avoid Realtor fees – good luck with that

Calling it an auction is a stretch. You put in your bids by 6pm, and then at 8pm the top bidders are called at home, where they are offered an opportunity to raise their bid to beat the top bid. Why not do it in front of assembled bidders? This way the owner can make up his own “top bidder” and get another 3 or so thousand from the real top bidder. If none of the lower bidders come up with enough, he’ll just keep it, so its not really a “must go” situation. Yes, its apparently legal.
I feel the local realtor group should come out publicly against this practice.

This no sale auction procedure is like Dealer stands on 16 — but everybody else plays first, and most go over 21.

Seems to fit in well with Reno.
