I knew it would be somebody from out of town. Everyone locally knows the price was too high. ---

Dang. The place at 6523 has been on [Buffaloniagarahomes.com](http://Buffaloniagarahomes.com) for a long time, but it was listed at $15MM. Honestly I think he got a hell of a deal. ---

^Think about what you could do with $6.3 million in WNY. Buy a house in Hamburg across(and when I say across I mean a cross a road/highway) from a shitty public golf course?!? ---

Well, for 6.3 mill in WNY you could have 2 houses totalling over 30k square feet. You could buy 4 mansions right on the shore of Lake Erie. Oh, wait. Buffalo. 25.2 million beers at 25 cent draft night! Woo! ---

> [@justa4door](#): > > I beg to differ about a house in Eville … i bet there is a few in the 3-7 mil range Could be, I have followed that market for 20 years and never seen anything listed that high. That’s not to say they don’t exist. As far as taxes go, I WOULD NEVER BUY ANYTHING IN NY IF I COULD AFFORD TO NOT LIVE HERE!:biglaugh: (if that makes sense) ---

One of the Russo houses does have 126 acres with it so I guess that does add some value but, still. When there is that much land involved it doesn’t seem like it should be a residential transaction. Just sayin, it is probably a developer that bought it.(or at least a commercial investor) Maybe he threw in the car collection.:gotme: ---

> [@Fry](#): > > I would totally buy my own island. > [Private Islands Inc - Islands for Sale and Rent](http://www.privateislandsonline.com/platanitos-island-mexico.htm) As awesome as that would be. Building a house on an island, would be so fucking expensive. Not to mention traveling to/from the island when you need to be on the mainland. I would hate being so secluded. ---
