Thanks all for the asides (she said ruefully). Actually we got a great deal on a 2BR new condo w/ pool on water, all amenities I described, just over the amount I identified, at the low end of market pricing but high(est)-end of ammenities, location, etc.
My 30-some years of marketing for US Fortune 100 companies has once again come in handy--put the bait in the water and see what happens. Although several comments were not terribly helpful or supportive, as I have generally found this forum to be for well over 2 years, perhaps some may recognize a learning experience here. Or not. Whatevah.
As always, I fully support the msg board and am delighted to be a part of the fabric of information exchange...
