<p>(See Vespa-driving broker Sharon Baum's <a href="http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&amp;ListingID=1296379">listing</a> for good floor plans, or certified Lamaze instructor Fritzi Kallop's <a href="http://www.brownharrisstevens.com/agent.aspx?id=FFK">listing</a> for the good interior shots.)</p>
<p>The sellers are a<span class="verdana">n orthopedic surgeon named Dr. David Fleiss, and his wife, Karen, a Barnard trustee who founded the hedge fund KMF Partners. (If you're into this sort of thing, you may also <a href="http://vickyward.com/wordpress/archives/29">remember</a> Ms. Fleiss from an apartment deal with <em>Brown Bunny</em> director Vincent Gallo.)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although she eventually hung up on me, Ms. Fleiss had this to say about the deal: “It’s a big apartment, it’s a very big apartment--we don’t need a gigantic space.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I asked if it's good time to be selling: “I’m buying something else, so what difference does it make to me? None! Zero!”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="verdana">I asked about the price tag: “</span>I’m not going to respond that.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I asked if she knew that <span class="verdana">no Manhattan co-op has ever sold above $46 million: </span>“I’m not going to respond to that either.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I asked if I could call back later, and then when she picked up she said: &quot;This is not a good time to be calling anybody,&quot; and hung up. Still, there's more to come in tomorrow's paper.</p>
