Okay. The time limit on my offer has expired, and I've still not received any realistic counter-offer from the seller, so I sent the broker a note telling him that the offer is no longer available. I can't wait forever for people to find their sanity.

The Great Boat Hunt - Fair Market Value?
I got a note from the broker today, containing a list of Morgan OI 33's that had sold over the last two years. The amounts shown in the list were upwards of 30% higher than my offer.
