“I dunno, suspect its principle? Not a nickler for sure, cost me alot to get to this point, but you are right, it is peanuts, but I guess at some point it becomes principle between both parties which dig in and then it becomes illogical and then it unravels. we will see.”

honestly, i think that you’re the one holding up the show. your appraisal or inspection costs have to be trivial in comparison… the seller is already taking a bath at this point, a pittance of a credit request compared to the large percentage sale price cut is really cheesy. a larger request might have been less offensive, something to haggle with, but…

not to mention, you would have incurred costs for due diligence anyway. right?

perhaps maybe you’re just looking for an out? you see the cliff looming ahead and your sensors are screaming “Eject!”?
