Just got another counter offer from the folks we've been going back and forth with for the past 4 days. Along with that counter, there's word that a second couple is close to putting in an offer.
I would love nothing more than a bidding war at this point.
Mojo for a second bidder with a higher offer? Please?

Well... the second couple came in even lower than the first couple's low-ball offer. 
Our agent is rejecting the second offer and letting their agent know that we are going with a significantly higher offer from our first bidders. If the second couple steps up, great.
Otherwise, we're taking the current counter from the first couple. We'll still be bringing cash to the closing, but a manageable amount.
I'm just ready for this to be over already.
Thanks SO MUCH for the mojo!

Thank you, cg.
Believe it or not, just got a second offer from the rejected second couple, and they want a response by 10 pm tonight. !?!?!?!
They've come up quite a bit, but still fall short of the other couple on a few points.
SHEESH! We had 20 showings in the past month with nothing to show for it. All the sudden...

Just spotted this. The deadline for your decision is past, but lots of mojo coming your way for everything yet to come. Just in case of more offer changes - for only good ones - and for no glitches in the paperwork.

Thank you! Just hung up with my realtor. She told me to turn off my phone and go to bed. 
I don't know who's crazier - the realtors who keep these hours, or the clients who drive them to it! All I know is that I am too damn old for this crap.

Well - we're done. Accepted the offer from the first couple this morning.
Now to survive inspections and the wait for closing. Fingers crossed for no drama.
