Know Your Competition

As a home seller, cheap competition and fixer-up starter homes create obstacles one needs to be prepared to overcome. A seller needs to be knowledgeable in his/her competition and they need to be able to emphasis their strengths to the buyer.

In order to understand your competition, you need to understand the foreclosure/short sale process as well as all the pros and cons of foreclosures. This will equip you with the knowledge it takes to promote and sale your home. First and foremost, foreclosures and short sales have many advantages to the buyer. Their cheap cost draws the future homeowner in while distracting the other potential factors of owning a foreclosure/short sale home. Many foreclosed homes sell for 30 to 50% off the market value. Aside from cheap cost comes the fact that many foreclosures are fixer uppers that buyers see as a great way to increase the value of their investment for future selling.

On the flip side, owning a foreclosed home also has many cons. The prospective buyer has to deal with the fact that it is a fixer upper and that additional money, time, and work needs to be put into their future home. The property can also be a testament to the bank owned state, many foreclosed homes are run down and stripped of many important components. The main disadvantage of buying a foreclosed/short sale home is the process of actually owning it. Foreclosed homes require a lot of research, additional paperwork, and waiting time. In many cases, it may take three to four weeks for a response if any, verses the average 48-hour process in the traditional real estate market. Foreclosures/short sales also come with bidding wars and headaches. It may be a constant battle for a cheap home that many buyers are burnt out on.

Emphasizing your strengths as a home seller means many things, not only do you need to promote your advantages but you also need to exploit your competitor's shortcomings. Selling your home means responding to all offers in a timely manner, having easy accessibility for showing, creating a personal realm for your buyer, promoting the condition of your move in ready home that requires no additional work or money. By doing this, you are sure to have a massive advantage over the cold process of foreclosures/short sales. Bottom line is people still like dealing with people, somebody with an actual pulse, not just a cold corporate bank with no face and name.

Pricing and Motivation

Since home sellers have so much competition in today's market, it is important to have realistic (competitive) pricing for the buyer. A home seller needs the support and expertise of a professional real estate agent's CMA, Competitive Market Analysis, or some other form of market evaluation. It is important to get a well-informed professional opinion of value, and it needs to be a tough price not a fluffy pie in the sky "price hope". A flowery CMA price (deceptive high value) will not attract potential homebuyers, thus your home will stay listed on the market.

Motivation is key to ensure that your house gets sold. If you can't come to terms with the tough competition and current market pricing, you probably aren't ready to enter into the market. This is not a time to test the market, all "test" are failing.

Psychological: Buyer's Market

In this buyer's market, it is important to concede the buyer as the winner, even if it's just psychologically. The general rule is assess everything you send the buyer in terms of "how could this make a nervous buyer feel". If you accept an offer too quick, the buyer might feel they've left money on the table. Forget to disclose a default up front, they might feel like you're hiding more information. Refuse to concede some repairs, they might feel like he's getting too attached to the home. This strategy requires planning and yes, a little guts. The main key is to let the buyer see that you are the one who is losing, even if that may not necessarily be the case.

A seller also needs to offer counter offers when the opportunity presents itself. It is a good rule to let the offers go back and forth a little bit. If the buyer first offers you a price that you may not be fully comfortable with, knock off a couple thousand to show the buyer that they had an affect on your original cost. This strategy lets the buyer feel like they won, rather then getting a price handed to them.

Homeowners are still selling homes everyday, some at great prices in record time. Understanding the competition, having a realistic price with plenty of motivation, and conceding to let the buyer win will sale any home given the tough market and bad economy.

Reciprocating Seals for Hydraulic Cylinders

The most common fluids used in hydraulic systems are mineral oil based. In recent years, there has been a lot of attention paid to environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids, but their use, so far, is limited, mainly because of their relatively high-cost compared with mineral oil. In many cases, standard reciprocating seals can be used in these fluids. Fire resistant fluids, such as high water based fluids, have applications in particular areas such as long-wall mining and have led to the evolution of specialised seals, but the vast majority of applications use hydraulic mineral oil. Two main factors affecting mineral oil based systems are cost and leakage.
This article looks at two key subjects:-
• The effect of tube finish on seal performance – the lowest cost tube may not give the desired performance
• The influence of the wiper on the leakage from the gland

THE EFFECT OF TUBE FINISH ON SEAL PERFORMANCE

A piston seal for a hydraulic cylinder is only part of the sealing system. Its life will depend on a number of factors, a major one being the nature of the surface against which it is running. Steel hydraulic cylinder tubes generally have a surface finish which is produced in one of three ways: -

• honing
• roller-burnishing
• drawing over a mandrel (DOM)

Hallite Seals have carried out major studies on the performance of double acting seals, used in both a double acting and single acting manner examining the affect of the method of tube manufacture and, hence, tube surface texture, on the performance of a typical double acting piston seal.

Cylinder Tube Manufacture

Hydraulic cylinder tubes are generally made from steel which is drawn over a mandrel (DOM). This process work hardens the material and gives it desirable mechanical properties. The final tube surface is obtained in one of three ways. In the honing process the tube is machined to gain the required roundness and bore tolerance and to remove surface imperfections, then finished by internally grinding or honing. In skived and roller-burnished tube the tube is again internally machined (skived) and flattened by rollers on the machining head. More recently drawing techniques have been developed such that the tube is considered ready to use in the as drawn state. This is known as special smooth inside diameter (SSID) or 'smooth bore' tube.

In terms of finished tube cost the ranking starting with the cheapest is SSID DOM, roller burnished and honed. SSID DOM tube can be 30% cheaper than roller-burnished, so its attractions to the cylinder builder are obvious. However, the quality of such tubes can be an issue which could lead to premature seal failure.

The Limitations of As-Drawn (SSID) Tube

SSID tube has been found to have limitations in application, particularly where the double acting piston seal is being driven into pressure. This can happen, for instance, when the lowering of a load is being controlled by the release of fluid from the full bore. The process of manufacture of as-drawn tube results in axial scoring of the tube; in roller-burnished and honed tube, such defects are eliminated by the finishing of the tube in a circumferential direction. These axial scores can provide sites for the fluid to jet over the seal eroding the contact face, particularly when the seal is being driven into pressure. A further difficulty is that such defects are not detected by the usual methods of surface finish measurement.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE WIPER ON GLAND LEAKAGE

The gland sealing system of a hydraulic cylinder consists of a number of elements, including the seal housings, the rod seal, the rod wiper, the rod bearing, the hydraulic fluid and the rod itself. Rods are generally hard chrome plated and relatively consistent in finish. The rod wiper has the primary function of preventing external contamination reaching the rod seal and gland bearings, and for this reason is fitted to the vast majority of hydraulic cylinders. However, this component has often been omitted in the laboratory testing of reciprocating seals.
Extensive studies have been carried out on the factors affecting reciprocating seal performance including the counter-face surface finish and the effects of contamination.

Hallite Seals carried out a series of tests where the leakage performance of five different wipers working with a common polyurethane rod seal was assessed. It is shown that he wiper is an important factor in the control of leakage from the hydraulic cylinder gland. Single lip wipers can give a much greater leakage than the seal, on its own, without a wiper. This is the result of the wiping lip collecting the oil on the rod, which provides the boundary lubrication to the seal. The use of double lip wipers reduces the leakage to the level of that of a seal on its own, but there is a danger of pressure trapping between the seal and the wiper. A double lip wiper profile has been developed, which minimizes the ring of oil on the rod collected by the wiping lip, and also has a venting feature to release the oil in the case of a pressure build up between the seal and wiper.

How can greatly reduce or even better eliminate, the amount of dust in my room?

I live in a apartment style dorm on the 6th floor of a 13 story 50 yr old building on a college campus & it has more dust than i have ever seen before, i never had issues with dust like this when i lived at home, but here its like i dust & literally 2 seconds later there is more dust on the surface again. Its so bad that me & my roommates have to keep our toothbrushes in little plastic bags or risk having a grey toothbrush in 6 hours. Before we moved in we all literally cleaned the apartment top to bottom, shampooing carpets & bring in new upholstrey & everything, but it really made no difference because by the next day it was dirty again! I already contacted the housing maintenance dept about replacing an air filter, but the individual rooms don't have filters because when they built it they only made models with a main filter. I do live next to a busy road, but because I'm high up it shouldn't be an issue. The windows are sealed shut so thats not an issue. Anything helps! Thanks!

I would check some department stores for one of those Ionic Breeze machines that filter the air for dust and such.

I have an african grey parrot (very VERY dusty bird by nature, if you dont know what that means look up the bird please hehe)
And have one of these machines, it helps tremendously with the dust in my house.

Depending on how big your place is you may need several (one for each room)
