I think I can talk him down to two squirrels and a bag of catnip.

Cat: "Throw in a bag of dead pigeons and it's a deal."

Jeez :?:

Can someone tell me what was wrong with my asking?

Sorry, SPW. I just got done reading the "Ph goes international" thread. Also, the first 6 words in the ad are:For sale by owner. Corner building.... Just a slight expression of air at thinking you just looked at the pictures, and didn't read the text. Of course that's the building where HouseBroken is.

I'm not sure it's completely clear to people who don't own their own businesses how rents/purchases of store space works. I don't think it's totally unrealistic to get the idea from that ad that someone owned the building and the store and was selling both...

yeah. I was actually a bit confused b/c it looked like there was a doghouse on the roof of the building, which would make me think that the building is owned by the store owner (yes yes, a lot of assumptions, conclusion jumping, etc).

Thanks Emily. Guess I sound like the totally dense one here, but seeing the words 'For Sale by Owner' next to the picture of a building with a store was definately confusing to me. Hence the question mark on my subject: Housebroken for Sale? No assumptions or conclusion-jumping there.

Thanks for clearing it up.
