Trying to make a killing

Tweet

There are many examples of making a killing: buying the right stock, finding a super-duper bargain at the grocery store, etc. I'm trying to make a killing within the next two weeks...an impossible task for sure. Our contract with the realtor for the sale of our two properties expired a week or so ago. We plan to resign sometime in April, hoping to draw new interest. Until then I decided to list the properties for sale by owner on about a dozen Facebook yard sale groups. While I have had nothing concrete on either, I have had a ton of inquires. Some of them made me LOL while others made me scratch my head in wonder. When you use Facebook yard sale groups you have to put in the price. At least 3 people asked, "Price?" (look and you'll find it you nim-rod)....while a few asked, "Where is it?" - location is also called out in the ads - (again, read...) We have a 20 acre farm used primarily for cows. It has water and electric on the property, at the barn. I also clearly stated there is no house, never was. Some needle-brained person asked me, "Is there septic on the property?" No, you don't put in a septic for the cows they poop wherever they please! That person then came back and asked if she could just buy two acres. If she wanted two way in the back that might have been an option....but she wanted two in the front, right by the barn. I said no, that would make it impossible for me to sell the other 18 acres. I know it gets silly and sometimes I want to ask myself why I listed on Facebook - I did it because you just never know who might see it. As a side note, if it is sold we still have to give our realtor his commission (that is part of the contract and lasts for one year). Wish me luck! Photo is mine.
