ib,
New paint (a nice light sandy color), new dishwasher/micro/oven/hell throw in a nice fridge, de-clutter, and reduce the price to 397, and that thing will sell in a week.

397 should be nothing for him, he bought the place for 205. Sell now while he still can. In a few months when the fed raises rates to stop the plummeting dollar (hecka job, Bush), 397 will be just a dream.
