Gazumping doesn't work when there's only one offer on the table.<BR/><BR/>It's ridiculous that he had to come back a couple of weeks later with a more sensible price; if he'd offered that in January the deal could have been sealed in January.<BR/><BR/>Instead, the vendor chose to procrastinate about the bush, and then whine about how long it was taking to finalise the deal.
