things I have learned on Streeteasy

86) can't believe this thread is up to #86

Happyrenter is a guy? I don't know why I thought happy was a woman. That's hard to get my cyber head around...but I'll adjust. Before I do though, happyrenter are you XY or XX?

87) "i have some buyers but i need to preview your apartment first" translates to "i think i am so good that once i get in your door i will be able to seduce you into my harem of exclusive listings"

88) i learned from this list that my friend 470PAS has learned almost everything he knows from StreetEasy

89) Urban Digs/Noah is an excellent source for head-still-attached-to-shoulders, feet planted firmly on the ground advice for all things NYC real estate

90) if someone offers you advice on a thread and tells you to email them to find out more they will turn out to be a broker who won't ever tell you what they said they would.

91) Julia is a broker
92) Carnegie Hill could be a name for many things

91) spunky, malraux, eah, tenemental, poorishlady, etc are missed

93) 87 cracks me up and it is something I learned ten years ago. 407PAS learned everything he knows about real estate from buying and selling places over the last 25 years.
94) Sniper will always hawk his listing, no matter what the thread.
95) No matter what Nathan says, there will be no new model for selling real estate in New York City.

96) Many real estate brokers live in rent stabilized apartments and have never actually bought or sold a piece of property. Talking about real estate with these agents is like talking to eunuchs about the physical act of love.

> 16) Buyers think renters are fools.

97) and that just meant buyers made 2 mistakes...

98) 407PAS has no sense of humor about himself and enjoys getting into pissing matches with any who dares to join him (buyer, seller, broker, FSBO - equal opportunity) and will usually quote some random author to let you know how well-read he is

99) 407PAS shouldn't be insulted and think that we don't know he has great knowledge "from buying and selling places over the last 25 years" but we can only assume that since he put 77 of the 100 things on this list that he has learned a lot from SE (in my neighborhood we call it a joke - although i listed the joke in your neighborhood so i could get more traffic)

100) what some people call "hawk" other call "selling"
http://web.me.com/seif69/11K/HOME.html

101) 407PAS seems to have upset Sniper for some unknown reason and fears that Sniper is losing his sense of humor.
102) 407PAS wishes Sniper all the luck in the world as a fellow FSBO seller.
102) 407PAS wishes all sellers and buyers well.
103) 407PAS likes to think that he can laugh at himself and the world and that he appreciates the absurdity in life.
104) The quotes that 407PAS posts to StreetEasy are meant to make people laugh and not to show what books 407PAS has read.
105) Tone of voice is often hard to gauge accurately in posts to StreetEasy.
106) hawk=selling
107) 94 is correct.

108) telling someone you fear they have lost their sense of humor right after they have told you the same lacks originality
(i have no hard feelings nor am i upset. i am through with this topic. you win)

109) It’s entertaining to watch Ivy leaguers bicker over who has the biggest pee pee.
110) People that boast their educational and net worth credentials are over compensating for something they severely lack, usually self confidence or approval.

111) Every thread turns into personal insults...

112) some threads are amusing. and then they're not.

113) StreetEasy is mainly a tool to spread negative information about all listings on the market. Sometimes this information can be lifesaving, however, as in the case of shaky condo conversions.

wishhouse.. I can appreciate a man's body :). You are correct I don't swing lefty :)

114) Star Wars was the best.. sometimes a thread should die at 33 :). People milk things even when there is no milk (like RE).

THE END

114) Nobody on StreetEasy gets to call the end of threads. They die naturally.

115) Having the last word is crucial to streeteasy credibility. Arguing a point way too long is energizing and despicable

116) Survey threads like this one do not have a point and certainly not an endpoint.

117) I wish I had been on SE four years ago to witness the evolution of posters in real time.

!

NYCNovice, here's one poster who hasn't evolved. The style of saying one thing and then saying the opposite continues...hedging at it's finest:

"112) some threads are amusing. and then they're not."

check out this thread where w67thstreet says he'll contact inonada about a "great deal" and then he doesn't contact him: http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/36887-w67thstreet-is-an-incoherent-homeless-troll?page=5

That's b/c W67THSTREET IS AN INCOHERENT HOMELESS TROLL

Actually dealboy, it has been confirmed that w67thstreet does have a home. And he's also welcome to stay with c0lumbiac0unty, so
