Well, you keep changing your mind.

One instance, it's $1M to buy a house and business, the next it's $1M for house plus extra for business.

All of which is made moot because you're bounding it around as fact, when it's just your opinion.

Others have also said they have gotten what they wanted for far less money.

It's all about location and if you aren't going to be specific, or consistent and well, plain wrong about a lot of information, you will be called out on it by other posters.

Indeed!
In fact, this thread is starting to resemble a bad case of hives.... irritating eruptions just keep popping out. (I count 13!- today alone ...)
It's like a recurring rash

Oh yeah....."There's a fungus among us"...that's for sure.......

Am I the only one itching and scratching?

BTW: Respecting Sue's admonition - no ad hominums here

I saw this video of Bill Muray performing House of the Rising Sun in a bar/restaurant in Florida and it reminded me of this thread.
How bad can St Augstine be if Bill Murray does this kind of thing regularly?
Wish I was there...

It is a dive but I've seen a ton of bands there over the years while propping up the bar.
