[quote=sdduuuude]Have an unscrupulous friend put in a $250K offer on the short sale contingent upon this, that, and the other. Sell your place, then pull the offer.
Buying a short sale is a pain in the ass. If their realtor is telling buyuers “we have a $250K offer on it,” and you price yours at $230, maybe they’ll come running.
Not sure I’d have the guts to do this, and it’s pretty underhanded, but I can’t stop my brain from coming up with ideas like this.

I don’t see the big deal.
Such shenanigans have been going on for ages so that’s nothing new.
