A Seller's Unreasonable Expectations

Just a shout out to see what everyone does when a seller has expectations that are just beyond the scope of reality.

I've been getting sellers that feel their early 20th century, termite infested, never-been-updated, lead painted, 1/1, falling down, and in a war zone "structure" (I really hate to call it a house) is somehow worth $100K.

How do you deal with sellers that just won't budge on their crazy expectations of value?

Please feel free to throw out some examples.

Stop wasting energy on those deals and move on. Keep it on the back burner.
