From the San Diego Union Tribune, we have Diane "Bimbo" Bell writing about Duck duds draw honks but no sale.
Why was Angel McCormick standing at a busy intersection dressed in a duck costume the other day?
If sign-spinning youngsters can get the attention of motorists for housing development sales, McCormick figured she could do the same for her four-bedroom house in Murrieta.
She held her “For Sale” sign while wearing the bright yellow duck outfit for nearly 11 hours over four days on various well-traveled streets near her home. It brought her lots of smiles and waves, one unappreciated hand gesture, three requests for fliers, three phone queries and one house tour by a couple who followed her home. Despite McCormick's ingenuity and a few low-ball offers, however, her house remains on the market.
She has dropped her price range to $535,000-$547,000, even though a slightly smaller home nearby sold early last month for $595,000.
Are Americans so stupid that a lame-ass duck costume will induce you to buy a half a million+ dollar house?
Don't answer that question. Thanks!
