So, they countered

I'm not suprised, but I just wish they had sent me an email with their counter offer earlier in the day, so I could have talked to my people, crunched more numbers and sent them my final offer. Now, I have to wait till maybe tomorrow or Friday, which was my origional plan anyway. I emailed Elisa the new offer, which isn't much higher, but maybe they will take it or maybe they won't. I will continue to keep you posted. Basically, I either buy it, or I don't. I don't have anything to loose either way. The customers are already going to come to my studio if theirs is gone, so it's a win-win for me either way!
