Seller accepted my bid...

finally after months and months of search and bidding, finally one apartment I like accepted my bid.

Man, now in NYC, it is definitely a buyer's market. The previous seller brokers kept on call me back to accept my old offers, well, too late.

Hopefully I will move into my new place in couple of months.

Lower east side, nice. Congrats. How tough is it to get approved with the co-op board?

The bid just got accepted yesterday morning, I haven't signed anything yet. It was just a oral "Yes". Based on my salary and stuff, I was just qualified by the seller and selling brokers, I don't know how tough the board is though.

Man, buying a place in NYC is pain... looking and bidding aside, getting past the board is another one.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

That is total crap. They accepted your offer. Do you have an agent? They should get involved if you do.

If not, I would tell him that your original offer still stands and if he doesn't accept, the only thing you are only willing to give him is:

They will probably come back to you with your original offer. Drop another $5k off it if they do.

Heh, yeah, Maryland is more my flavor, but I'm familiar with NYC too. 24th is midtown bro.. 24th and Second is more like the Flatiron District, south of Murray Hill. Lower East Side is down by Chinatown and Little Italy, where the streets are not numbered and there are few subways.
