Funny stories in wholesaling?

Question

Does anyone have any funny stories from their wholesaling experiences?

Here is one I have: Sellers gets my mailer and calls me. I screen her and she really wants to get rid of her house. She tells me the details...how many rooms, how many bathrooms, what work needs done, etc. So, after about 10 minutes of talking about this house, out of the blue she tells me that the house we are talking about was already torn down by the city and no longer exists!

She concludes by asking me if I am interested in buying a vacant lot! HAHA.

One lady called and left a message and said, "I tell you what---you give me one million dollars and you can have my house. Otherwise, stop sending me crap!" That was in response to a post card. Nice !

I got a funny story about wholesaling.

A guy wanted 140k for his house when it was only worth 80 - 90 at best.

Haha!  Sellers can be so optimistic!

I have a funny wholesaler story:

Just last week an obviously newbie wholesaler sent me a deal to my email.  It had the break down of everything with comps & ARV.  He showed the Realtor (pocket listing) that he got the lead from making $10k, himself being paid $3k, and how much for me?  $5k

This is on a house with a $135k cost!  I told him that the deal was a little skinny!  He was so sincere when he said there is enough for everybody.  :)
