Good work in a bad situation.

Yea, rational me says if the car had sold yesterday at $12,5 I'd be thrilled right now.

Emotional me says F that give me my $750

As time passes rational me usually wins out

Sounds like it will work out fine. But, ugh, a roller coaster ride.

Nice to hear -
Yeah, it took more leg work than a straight BaT sale would have, but... Oh well.
Make lemonade out of lemons - as I say.

It's not a terrible result and you might get that $750.

Hell, some discount is probably worth it for being able to deal with a local buyer.

Good way to think about it and let go of the final few bucks. You don't have to buy tires for that car any more and do many other things... Speaking of which, is everything done and wrapped up?

We're at the lake this weekend. Schedule to complete everything this Tuesday. I've talked to the buyer quite a bit. He is very excited so I don't forsee any issues

Very good to hear. I read also that the Finger Lakes were reopening. Glad you have an escape again.
