This cabin is for sale for $35,000., and we are confident it will sell

He's got to be pretty desperate. This is at least the second year,
IIRC, that he's been trying to sell it.

Who wants to be so close to the AT that hikers wander over to
socialize? If you've got a cabin way back in the boonies and no homes
for miles, isn't it because you don't want company dropping in?

And $35,000? With a lease for a few years? Why not just walk away
and let it go? Let your second cousin's daughter's boyfriend have
beer busts up there? Rent it for the summer to some New York City
slicker who thinks he / she wants backwoods. Or are there going to be
removal costs when the lease is up? Well, doubtless, but is the owner
of the lease accessible for them?

This strikes me like the people who try to sell used clothing and gear
on rec.backcountry. They want to squeeze every cent they can get out
of it and they think they can get a large portion of the value of new
from it. Not true.
