Introduction to Home Staging

Or does it mostly fuel hyper nationalism which almost always is a divisive force on the world stage?

Of course there is some of each but where does the preponderance lie? Divide or unite? Why or why not?

Yes, I think every previous world cup helped bring people together. Sadly with this current world cup it’s the South Africans and their vuvuzelas who are alientaing football fans in the rest of the world. This world cup will be remembered for the wrong reasons.

We are buying a model home and the builder asked us to make an offer on any furniture in the house. We have no idea how much (or how little) to offer.

From experience, I can tell you that the builder paid 25% under the going rate for that furniture. He would like to get that back, but would be willing to take a small hit since it is now slightly used for display and he would have to pay for it to be moved and stored. He would be happy to get half of what that identical furniture is going for at a Haverty’s or Rooms to Go in your area of the country. If he needs the money, and they all do right now, he will let it go for less.

Reasonable offer would be 25% of current retail price for identical furniture. Negotiate from there if you really like it.
