The mechanic advised us that the AA-1B we looked at would require a more expensive annual inspection the first time we had it done, in his opinion. We asked the owner to either reduce the price of the plane, or take care of the more important items we found during the inspection. He indicated a desire to do the latter.
Meanwhile, he has another prospective buyer flying up from Oklahoma today to inspect the plane. I do not think this new buyer will be allowed the unrestricted access that Jeb and I enjoyed. We learned a lot about the AA-1, but it was an extreme inconvenience for the owner. I truly appreciate that he let us do that, but I know that he really gained nothing from it.
Jeb and I are okay if the Oklahoma guy writes the owner a check. We are okay if he doesn't. We are content to wait patiently. The ability to wait patiently is a powerful negotiating tool.

Someone once said the "Patience is a virtue." But what he failed to mention is that it is also a pain in the ass. :)
