Opry99er Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Wife and I are currently taking the plunge into home ownership.... Today we started the "hyper-save-mode" thing where we eat bologna and rice and cut out all unnecessary purchases... We are trying to put together the cash for our down payment so... All discretionary spending MUST be accompanied by an equal liquidation of assets. I am currently trying to buy a few hobby things (TI related) and, therefore, need to liquidate some stuff. If anyone has need for TI-branded PEB cards, semi-rare game cartridges (Funware, Romox, etc), or collectible vintage baseball cards, PM me. I also have an MBX I don't really want to part with, but if the offer is right... I want to avoid using eBay in order to keep the stuff in the community, but this is about the cash. Thanks in advance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Just made an offer on a house. Absolutely beautiful home. Now I need to come up with MORE cash, as this house is waaay at the top of our budget. That said, the MBX is officially for sale. I also have 3 MBX carts and the Championship Baseball overlay to go with the cart. Also considering moving my prized Funware collection. open to offers on the MBX set. Please respond via PM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 All peripheral expansion cards are spoken for. Few carts are gone, but some still available. MBX also still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) All the best!Thanks Howie!! I am selling off what I can live without (temporarily) in order to fulfill a couple purchase obligations for TI related stuff. I had planned on spending the money I have in the bank, but now I do not have that option. LOL!! I may end up selling more stuff too to help with the down payment. My fishing boat is one of them....

Opry99er Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) http://u.zillow.com/p2qDDp Check it out for yourself. The pictures do NOT do this place justice... It is truly epic in scope and size. We put the written offer in today. One benefit of living where we live... Real estate is EXTREMELY affordable. This place with this view in Colorado would be 3-4 times the amount it is here. Edited June 18, 2015 by Opry99er 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Cool, good luck. It looks like you can get more bang for your buck in that part of the country. Is this where the TI-Shrine will reside? I love that view off the deck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 There is a better picture of the view off the deck. This pic is just a pic of the deck itself. The TI shrine will actually be in the same area of the house (basement) but a different side. There is a pic of it, but it just shows one corner. Thanks for posting the pics. I'd hsve done it myself (with more pics), but I am on my phone. Haven't touched my computer in 2 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Well, you will have to get on you computer and watch Vorticon's video again so you can match up the wall paper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 No freakin' kidding, huh?! It is all up to the seller now. If our offer gets accepted, then it goes to our broker to get us the loan. Tons of pieces have to fall into place for this to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerves are kicking my a$$ right now. We really want this place. Klaus, I'll send you a PM when I get home. I have to get some shipping quotes for a couple other buyers as well... As you can imagine, I have not had time to do ANYTHING for the last two days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Offer was accepted by the seller!!! Now it comes down to financing and down payment. Nice! Curious as to the percentage difference between asking price and your offer was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Offer was accepted by the seller!!! Now it comes down to financing and down payment. Cool beans! I remember my first house—1967 it was—$13,500 as I recall. Not sure how that translates into today's dollars; but, it was every bit the roller-coaster ride you are on! ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nice! Curious as to the percentage difference between asking price and your offer was... We offered the asking price... Seller to pay ALL closing costs up to $5000. There were two other offers in, and I didn't want to play games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Funnily, I'm currently also striving to buy an apartment in Nuremberg, after renting a small apartment for almost 3 years now. As a consequence of the low interest rates for assets, people are moving their money into "concrete gold", as real estate is sometimes called here. Me, I'd just love to get my own home. Not quite a view like the one above, it seems as if I'll have to get along with a small garden and 95 sq meters for over €200000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
