In the 1979 classic, “10” starring Bo Derek, a dime is a reference to the top of the scale from one to 10 where ten is obviously the best. Cooper Kupp is a local from Eastern Washington University and a Super Bowl MVP. Matt Stafford threw every pass that Cooper Kupp caught, but Kupp was the dime. Ironically, Matt Stafford’s number is 9 and Kupp’s is 10, hence the term NINE TO DIME!“ 

In real estate, we commonly use the expression, “Don’t step over a dollar to pick up a dime.” This is commonly used when a buyer or seller becomes emotional over a trinket when they are selling a treasure. In a million-dollar transaction often a battle of wills ensues over a bookcase, light fixture, or appliance. “It’s a matter of principle.”
