Once upon a time there was a flat for sale....

amf

The flat was a two bedroom pad of about 70 square meters with plenty of light,
in a nice part of town,
far from the dragons and the junkie men,
that scared so many children and grown up men.

The lady buyer decided it was nice and that she ought to place a bid.
Not wanting to be mean or cause offence she decided
not only to match the asking price but go beyond it on her bet.
The under bidders never complained,
but she heard no word either from the agent's or their state.

Not one to be defeated on first attempt,
this lady buyer proceeded to see other places farther and farther away.
But they were still nice and she still needed a place to stay.
But after bidding first time over the asking price again
she was still met with the same dead end!

Did those heartless deceiving scheming liar agents really have a flat to sale?
Did they even have a client, a real seller, a person, with a real to sale place?
Or were they all a fantasy, an illusion, an endless waste of space?

Who is putting up at the moment so many nice flats in Dublin for sale?
All in show room condition, top notch, claiming to want a pronto quick sale?
Saying the people just moved out, as if I had just missed them,
leaving no trace, no messes no peculiar bad smells
all using great cutlery and displaying great home designer sense!

What should this lady buyer do when face with these pretend sales?
Are investors the only race in the kingdom who still didn't learn?
Was bankruptcy not a bad enough deal?
Do they believe they deserve more, much, much more than the asking price
for their pretty silly little estates?

And what is this lady seller ought to do?
Bid well over the odds just for a laugh
or wait for a real seller with no fashion sense
no silly agents, and in a a remote far away place?

Who can tell me if that is also their experience
in this fairytale kingdom of post bankruptcy and unsurpassable greed
Who can show me an strategy to beat them
at their own game without dragons or sticks?

You don't have to rhyme it
I also quite enjoy prose and narrative!

I am so confussed.
Did the estate agent give you any feedback after the offer was put in? Did you follow up on your offer and ask was it accepted or not? Is the apartment still up for sale??

OP please edit your post to read clearly as a query in paragraphs of text, there's no need to be smart here. Thread will be reopened then.
