I'm in the market for a Harley. There are some factors to consider from a buyers perspective such as there's a lot of talk about Harley needing to change its business model. Most of all, prime riding season here ends in a week. A seller may not want to think about these things, but what buyer wants to be the last one to buy something before the price falls. Just ask anybody who bought a house 2 years ago. Now I intend to make a good deal for me, but if I make a stupid bid you might be desperate and say yes. Otherwise we've just begun negotiations. But wouldn't I feel foolish spending a bunch of money that didn't need to be spent for fear of asking a simple question. A friend in the real estate business once told me that it takes him about 100 showings before he makes a sale. So each time he showed a house he smiled and muttered 'thanks for bringing me closer to the sale'.
