Everything has to read like a fine art catalogue doncha know. As price goes past 6 figures one must stop drinking from bottles in stubby coolers and start sipping tea with pinky raised.

I used to say , I had a visa in my passport and that makes me a visitor and not a Pommie or prisoner or mother england ... now Im stuck on the worlds greatest desert island , drinking tea outta mugs with my pinky in the air, with all the he other mugs discussing dirty imports vs fine aussie delivered ... the words gone mad ... the fine art catalogues talk of provenance .. just to add a to euro flair.. isnt that a french word ? Maybe the better review of this approach to fluffing could be described with the german saying SCHNAPSIDEE , an idea to do something whilst your drunk . aka write an advert whilst drinking too much Schnaps. Gotta be worth 120k.. is it not .... or as the Aussies might say "Talking shit on the forum when you have had a skin full". ...

I’m Newish to the market probably should have stuck around until the 100k mark what do you guys think ? .... never too much $$ maybe too early they say Should/will I wake up with short term regrets ?

Tomorrow is a new day sun will come up and new opportunities will come. It's easy .. if you wake up with regrets, then yes, you should have gone higher .. At the end of the day, if you went to $120k and you're happy, then it's a good buy. It doesn't matter what the market says it's worth, its what YOU think. I've always said .. a good deal is when both the buyer and the seller walk away happy. Good luck in your search ..
