It is not as though I stay up nights worrying about things like this <g> but....when I see a number like $399,999.99 my first thought is "Who are they kidding?" Are there really people who think that $399,999.99 "looks" like so much less than $400,000? By subtracting one penny from the sale price of something as substantial as a house, it just strikes me as a shallow attempt to mislead the weak-minded.
No offense to the the OP who is far from the only one who plays this silly marketing game. The house is an important historical landmark and I hope that the OP is successful in finding a buyer who will do the property justice.
So now you have my $.02 which will bring the revenue from the sale of the house to $400,000.01.
(Actually, a price like that would generate a certain amount of its own buzz, wouldn't it? I bet I wouldn't be alone in my respect for someone who take such a stand against the "conventional marketing wisdom" and demonstrate a little more faith in his fellow man).
