Bye-bye Skippy. Let gas prices continue to rise!

[The Warrior Monk]

the mistake is to attempt and compete on their level. Value added service is the only way to go.

Exactly...You couldn't be more correct if you wanted to be.

If one is competent and competes in an arena where competence isn't a requirement, it will lead to nothing but frustration.

It's only a matter of time before we creep above $5 a gallon... and if the economist are correct, $7 might be possible by the end of summer. Although it hurts all of us, the AMC's are going to have bend. The skippy's can't afford to do the work for their current fees when the gas prices don't cover the bottom dollar when an appraisal is completed. Come on oil prices... keep rising!

Sheriff,

Sorry, but I think your thought here is just not very well thought out. One of the largest problems ethical appraisers have been dealing with is Skippy being able to make a profit by violating the signed certifications on the appraisal forms. Mainly lying about having curb inspected comparable and / or the subject itself by sending out unsupervised trainees or unlicensed people. Gas prices going up is not going to stop such lying, only tempt even more appraisers to start lying about what they are doing too. The resulting environment will only make it that much tougher for the remaining ethical appraisers to compete. Higher gas prices will not knock out Skippy. Higher gas prices will knock out more ethical appraisers.

Webbed.

Is this the new fuel alternative that I missed out on??? I'd be worried about the bone getting getting stuck somewhere it doesn't belong in the first place! :icon_mrgreen:

Boil the bone, don't stick it...*S*
