Diplomat's Park Avenue Sales Strategy: Don't Try for a Profit

Poor Matthew Nimetz. Not only was the dude once tasked with mediating a name dispute between Greece and Macedonia, but now he's anticipating a tough time selling his co-op at 1185 Park Avenue. He purchased it in 2008 for $3.6M (a slight discount from the original ask), and now he's ready to unload it?without a profit. He listed the 2BR, 3BA (plus tiny maid's room) apartment yesterday for only $2.95 million. Click through the gallery above for pics and a floorplan. Can this diplomat find a winning sales tactic?
