When making an offer subject to survey,, is it proper or common to have
the
seller and the buyer share the cost of the survey? As I've posted, I'm
looking at
a couple of sailboats, and since I am on a budget, I'd hate to spend $400
dollars
and have the surveyor tell me the boat is junk. As I read these postings,
I got to
wondering if the buyer should ask the seller to share the cost of the
survey. This
way, if the seller knows there is a hidden defect, he/she will not only
lose the sale,
but also lose some money. Wouldn't this be a way for the buyer to test
the
seller, especially if the seller is telling the buyer that the boat is in
excellent
condition.


Now, I think I understand why your husband wishes to remain inebriated.
You're one of those socialists!

What you say above is only to say "somebody else" needs to share the
responsibility and cost of your personal decisions. Somebody else needs to
decide for you whether or not it is wise to purchase a product. Somebody
else should help you pay. Somebody else needs to carry YOUR burden. From
each according to his ability to each according to her needs. Karl Marx
would be proud of you.

I think your hubby probably escaped into an alcoholic haze primarily because
he no longer wishes to carry your burden. Atlas Shrugged!

Grow up, girl.
