Set dates are becoming common in Northern Suburbs, beaches etc. They are the biggest con out. They do not offer the transperancy of an Auction, or the certainty of a negotiable price. Sellers like them because not many people get to find out the real sale price. I agree with ozn, offer low Example 38 Mary Street Waterman Bay on market for 1.3 m. rented for 12 months sold set date sale for under 1 m
