pond. My new neighbor says he will sell me some acreage, but he wants a bit more than the appraisal value. It has a decent creek so hopefully, cost to build a pond will not be too much.

It's not your fault.

It's not our fault either.
Blame folks with ugly and/or prudish cousins, who have stigmatized interbreeding with family. It's their fault.

dealerships. I HATE buying a car. I used to know an honest salesman (there is exactly ONE) and we had an agreement, I'd buy it at $1K profit for them. Sold me three cars that way. He's retired now. Went back his dealership and haven't spent a penny there as they were not honest.
Best bet us to haggle down one dealer, then another dealer, then another. Return to the highest dealer and say you would like to get it from them but it had to be THIS, which was slightly lower than the lowest dealer. They'll do it usually. And don't mention a tradein. If not, turn to walk away as you can always go to the lowest offer. They will know this and relent.
Freaking hate it. I could never sell cars for a living. I'd rather be a lawyer.

If you buy it at their price, you paid prolly $5-8K too much

I've haggled a Camry down $4K+. Almost 20% savings. But sure, you can walk in there and pay the sticker price any time. The guy I knew, their dealership sticker price was $1k profit. So there was no need to go somewhere else and haggle. You'd never get a better deal. They're gone now, new ownership.
They left the screw loose last time they changed my oil. I marked my tires and they didn't rotate them either.
Done with them.

Maybe it's changed. But I've never paid sticker for a car in my life. Parents never did. Wife never has. Actually bought a 2018 Honda Odyssey, forgot about that. Dealer came down $3.5K.

Some dealerships are like that, or were around here. Not anymore for Toyota or Hondas though.

And how easy it is for them to sell a car (at the time) may also strengthen or weaken their hand.

stories of people who try to sell cars and cannot because it just sucks. Then there are people on there who brag about making $200k. I enjoy some of the posts there, so I read them a good bit. Also has good advice for haggling, sometimes, and then great stories about people rolling over $20k in upside down equity onto another car just to have the newest nicest thing.
