It's not uncommon in real estate for someone to buy a property for $1 million and then get offered $1.1 million a week later.

Rupert I had to reread that post 4 times to try and understand the problem!!!
What the hell is the matter with that? They should have fallen to their knees and thanked the guy for doubling their money in one day.
I don't see a thing wrong with that on either side.
Many times a guy will have a client who says I like horse number "123" in the book, what do you think he will go for? Agent says, that one oughta go for about 400 grand. Guys says thats too much for me. So they don't even bother trying to bid.
The sales results come out the next day and number "123" sold for 180 grand. Client says geez, I woulda gone to 250 on him. So they call the buyer and often times the horse is flipped on the spot.
Everyone should be so lucky!!!
