In people's simple minds, what's the worst thing it can happen? So they just asked.

The biggest laughable offer I had was on a house (this was a time when we were renovating and selling them). Some random Middle Eastern guy, always along with another man or two came on to property while the workmen and I were having a chit chat about finishing up the house. This is deep into the residential area. They must cruise around looking? He's half way into the yard and starting asking to see the owner. The guys tried to get them to stay out but they kept coming. I confronted them asking they must leave. He opens his mouth saying he wants to buy the home from me. Typical siht, "I give cash now. I go bank now." I say no, not for sale, you must go. They are aggressive, kept asking how much. I say, 1.2 mil. He laughs and say no way, "I give 500,000. You take money, go long vacation with wife. I finish house. No more head ache for you" The exterior painting was just finished, the wrap around deck was just started. Yard work was next. Yeah, a 900k house for 500 so I can walk away. What the hell are they thinking? The guys tell me he's been around the past few days looking and got in once but was thrown out.

I often wonder why they do this? Have any of them ever been successful at any of their offers? They must hit the jack pot at one time, or else they wouldn't be doing this wasting time instead of working a regular job?
