    - I didn't even see what show this was, but they were particularly calling out those types of shows for glorifying it. - ty97 Mar 25, 12:28 2

  - that would depend on the appraisal truthfully. if it doesnt change from my original from 21 months ago -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 25, 11:21 17
    - Good luck with that. Ours suddenly dropped by 15% because of the comparables that happened to be on sale at that point. - spamlet Mar 25, 11:27 16
      - did you still have to pay for the appraisal? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 25, 11:37 11

        i think i know which one that is. - tRuMaN Mar 25, 11:57
        
        And it really wasn't their fault. I was very happy with their service. It was the appraiser that I was pissed at. -- nm - spamlet Mar 25, 11:57
        
        creo que WF dijeron (is this right?) the same thing. BoA wound up winning on timing more than anything. -- nm - amanda Mar 25, 11:49 3
