<<I apologize for the delay in responding to your email; I have been
out of town and out of communication for the past week or so.  We are
more than happy to review an offer from you with proof of the financial
means to close.  I know you don’t believe that the property has as
much value as we believe it does; however, the market shows that the
land (not the buildings) is worth significant value.
 We have had a
cash offer of $180k, but I believe it is worth more than $250k.  We
would seriously consider any offer of more than $200k.  Alternatively,
we can have an appraisal of the property completed (acceptable to
both parties) and we would give you a discount of up to 10% of that
value for the purchase of the property. >>
From Doug Gale's e-mail of July 17th, 2007 (link)

It is important to note the times the two e-mails following the one
quoted below were sent and received and draw your own
conclusions as to the reality of the $180K buyer.

Also, keep in mind that the ultimate sale price of 1960 was $80K...
