For four years, I have been looking to buy the discount office supplies store that is located across the street. I have seen it grow for the past four years in a row and incorporating it with my computer business, would be a smart move.

Since most of my clients are big businesses and corporations, I think that being able to offer them office supplies would be a good thing. I have discussed the possibility with a few of my bigger account holders and they are all for it and have promised me that they would be happy to give me their office supplies business.

I have made four different offers to the guy who owns the discount office supplies store and he has turned me down every time. However, last night, he walked into my store and told me that he would sell me his business for a certain amount of money. I looked at the amount that he had written on a piece of paper and have been thinking about it all day. The amount of money, is about fifty thousand dollars more than what I am really willing to spend but if I do not take this deal now, I am afraid that he might not sell it to me later or sell to someone else.
