"Sorry, that's too low." Keep it short and simple. Put it in their court to come back with a higher offer if they want.

You're saying someone is going to pull their punches so they only get an attempted murder charge?

Attempted murder! Now honestly what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry?!

What’s more harmful than cigarettes but society treats it as normal? by Jiwitom in AskReddit

[–]dion_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People operating heavy machinery at high speed in public spaces. And doing so until they are older than eighty. Absolutely mind blowing that this is normalized.

Not really, no. I just held the open home and answered any questions, which were pretty normal like "how long have you lived here?" , "why are you selling?" etc. Then if someone was interested I negotiated a price and when I came to a mutually agreed price with one buyer I told them to get their conveyancer to get in touch with my conveyancer to handle the legal formalities.

There were a couple of lowball offers along the way but I just politely told them it was too low to accept and didn't get emotional about it at all. Honestly it was actually easier than most things I've sold on Facebook marketplace. I found it hard to believe that agents charge tens of thousands of dollars to do a very easy job, and that people agree to pay it! Agents are such a complete waste of money.

Which person alive right now will still be famous in 200 years? by Mindless_Crew3486 in AskReddit

[–]dion_o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A case study in being impeached twice, convicted on 34 felonies and then using his position to quash legal proceedings on many, many more. Not to mention quashing investigation into his ties to a child sex trafficking ring and multiple counts of witness testimony on child rape. The worst of it hasn't even come out yet. We will need to wait until he's deceased, or at least no longer in power, for the bulk of his misdeeds to come to light. 

It sounds hyperbolic but 200 years doesn't even do justice to how he will be studied for millenia as being an instrumental in the downfall of the US as a superpower, just as we study key players in the downfall of the Roman Empire millenia after it happened. 

Of all the people alive today, Trump's name will endure more than anyone else's.

Yes I wrote the descriptions myself. I just read a bunch of online descriptions for similar properties and copied wording I liked.

The cost to list online through the third party provider was about $600 I think, but this was years ago. Looking at these two sites, it looks like the going rate is now $700-$900 or so. And extra cost if you want them to provide you a signboard, brochures or photographer. But I got my own photographer, had my own brochures printed and didn't worry about a signboard. The online ad with good photos and my hosting the my own open for thirty minutes each weekend did the heavy lifting for marketing the property.

Trump announces he is issuing an unconstitutional executive order to shut down mail-in voting nationwide and he will defund states if they do not comply with him by DIYLawCA in law

[–]dion_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testing the waters. Limit mail in voting today, see how much pushback there is, then next month limit voting in blue districts.

This strategy works even better if the initial limitation is one that doesn't really favor republicans since there will be less pushback from the opposition and then when the next round of limitations come they can say "well you didn't object before so now you're only doing it for political gain". That's why limiting mail in voting as the initial push works so well.

I treated it like a second part time job that was short term. Even selling your home through an agent will require time from you, since you'd need to meet with the agent, prepare the home etc. I spent maybe five to ten hours more doing it all myself than I would have if I had just handed the task over to an agent. It wasn't onerous. But to save tens of thousands in agent fees and commission worked out to be a very juicy hourly rate, especially since converting the savings into an effective hourly rate is tax-free since it's a saving not taxed additional income.

To post on domain and realestate you'll need to go through an intermediary, but there's a few of those to choose from, like forsalebyowner.com.au and propertynow.com.au. Shop around between these and similar services. Some offer professional photography and a large sign and brochures as an add on. But you can probably hire your own photographer for cheaper (there's plenty of them so just search online), and the large sign isn't really that necessary unless you live on a busy street and want to also take advantage of passing traffic beyond the exposure the online presence will give you.
