And if you don't? Your "rules" state that the contest might be extended another 60 or 90 days (it says both, unsurprisingly), but then what after that? I really doubt you'll get even half of that number of entries. My guess is that you'll keep the money because, well, let's admit it - this is a scam.
Well, I dunno if it's a scam.
The cymbals-clanging primitive isn't known for stunts such as that pulled by Doug ex-wife three years ago.
Usually he's just known for griping when the government doesn't pay his way, first class, and for his family too, when he ostensibly needs medical treatment on the "Big Island." (The cymbals-clanging primitive is a veteran.)
As a buyer, I would wonder why he wishes to sell his abode.
Nothing real personal, but maybe along the lines he's got a job somewhere else and so he's moving, or his elderly relatives are ailing and so he's moving to take care of them, or his wife doesn't like the place and so he's moving--something along those lines, so as to assure a potential buyer he's not getting rid of the house for mercenary or malicious reasons.
I dunno about Hawaiian real-estate prices, but it seems such a large amount of money, $600,000, to ask for a place much smaller (square footage) than where I live, which in the Sandhills of Nebraska is appraised at something less than $20,000. Of course, appraised value has no connection with real market value, especially here in Nebraska, but still, $600,000 sounds like an awful lot for a modest beach property, even if in Biarritz.
I'm no real-estate expert, but it just seems awful much.
I think the cymbals-clanging primitive would have a better chance of drawing entries if he were to explain why he's selling--again, just a general comment, no intimate personal or private details needed--and what exactly is about it, that makes it worth $600,000.
I don't think it's a scam; I think the cymbals-clanging primitive is desperate to unload, and this unusual twist to its selling, and the publicity, doesn't hurt.
