If you win, you win some money. And you earn a lifetime of bad reviews and negative referrals. If you lose, you don't win any money and you earn a lifetime of bad reviews and negative referrals, Hahn wrote. Does this buyer have friends? Family? Colleagues? People he knows at church? At the country club? Does the buyer have social media? How do you imagine this buyer will be telling the story of this $24,000 payment?

The actor and his filmmaker wife, Jo Andres, sold their brownstone at 460 Fifth Street for $4.99 million, according to a deed posted Monday. The deal seems to have been made off market, and the buyers are a pair of family trusts. The house is a cartoonishly typical three-story brownstone two blocks off Prospect Park by Seventh Avenue - an area that, unfathomably today, wasn't as fancy when the couple bought it in 1997, not long after Buscemi's memorable roles in Fargo and Reservoir Dogs.
