On Again...And Off Again
Negotiations for the gas station were resumed today. But, not much progress was made. It didn't take long for us to realize that we weren't really getting anywhere with these people, because they think the value of something is what you paid for it (and what you lost in it) rather than what someone is willing to pay you for it. They are still talking our offer over, but we aren't very hopeful that they will accept. We are still exploring other options, so maybe something will work out.

How frustrating for the sellers! It's hard to admit you may have to take a loss on something. This doesn't work for gas stations, but that's one of the reasons I am so excited about Freecycle. You just give it away and get the happy feeling inside instead of thinking about how much such-and-such cost new. Too bad they won't just give it to you! Maybe you could suggest it ;)
