People want to look at what everything is listed for. Well, bad news, half of that shit has been listed for that price for months and been sitting there... .. Sigh
Geniuses
That's why I based my starting price on recent sales, rather than what people were currently asking. If I'd just pulled a figure out of my ass - what I WANTED - then the property would probably still be sitting there unsold in a month.
