Stephen: Hmmm...no, I didn't get it, and my inbox isn't full...only had 193 PMs in it and I thought max was 200, so there should have been room.

Regardless, I cleared out another 20 messages, so hopefully it will go thru this time. Thanks, I value your input on this! (If it still doesn't work, and doesn't contain sensitive info, feel free to post it as a reply here!)

(Thanks for the reply, spex; one thing to consider, though. This is Manhattan, which is its own little housing market, largely unaffected by fluctuations throughout the rest of the country, including the current subprime mortgage fracas. It's never truly a buyer's market here. Your 'hardball' tactics are all good ones, but sellers here know that theirs is some of the most desired real estate on the planet.)
