The bank had been in talks with a number of buyers for months.

Large numbers of potential buyers eye every property that appears in a listing.

More important, it actually delivers what a huge number of buyers seem to want.

But industry experts said yesterday that the number of potential buyers could be relatively small.

"We did not see a significant number of buyers or sellers," he said.

The number of buyers who actually take the option, though, varies by model.

But more manufacturers are showing interest, and the number of buyers seems to be increasing.

On the other hand, Macy's has cut the number of buyers to 180 from 425.

As the game's box information does not reflect this, a number of potential buyers were left confused.

As a result, a growing number of buyers have committed to loans they can not pay off.
