awful experience. If I never have to move/sell/buy again, it'll be too soon.

I have one for you....happened about 30 years ago when the wife and I were still living in the KC area.
We saw a nice little house we were wanting to buy....had a buyer for our house and we were closing in 30 days.
We made a bid on a house and found out there was another bidder. We offered 5% above asking because it was worth it and in a neighborhood we wanted to be in.
In the end we lost to the other bidder because he offered 15% over list. That part didn't upset me...some you win some you lose.
What pissed me off was the gall of the guy to call me the next day to ask me if I wanted to buy it from him on a lease-to-own option.
