But I'm not sure the time limit you can do that after you post a message, I believe after certain
time passed you can't edit the post anymore.

Ah I didn't realize that. Well either way, he admitted to it in this thread. And it had that original thread title for quite some time...

To be honest I didn't even notice that, as I had read about it in on another website before it was posted here...I would admit to you if it edited it, but I didn't.

I don't think he intended it in the way you assume, but he'll answer sure enough.

If a brownstone in bed stuy didn't sell for 134 million dollars, then why lure people into a thread by intentionally stating that in a title and post? Regardless of it being in a newspaper's slight misprint in one tiny little part of an article where the actual price was mentioned a few times. I'll tell you why. Because he was posting in a sarcastic fashion.

This place was purchased in 2010 for $600K: StreetEasy: 333 Mac Donough St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant - Sales, Rentals, Floorplans
That's a nice block. Was this a single unit that sold or the whole brownstone?

I didn't change the title, someone else did. I was simply quoting the Daily News...interestingly, hardly anyone actually read the article and simply commented.

O only saw $1.34 million, early on.


With all the hype though, I am convinced it's just HYPE.
It made ALL the newsfeeds AS PLANNED.
