Lay away purchase


Got an interesting question from a member (on another well known auction site) that I've never seen before. This person has 100% good feedback there and more buying than selling.

"...if i could make payments to you on this, there's just no way I could aford this all at once. if for any reason I had to back out , I would forfit all money paid to date and you keep the machine, I've never let any one down yet and I buy this way a lot. I could pay as much as 250.00 a month"

It would take 7-8 months to be paid up. I don't mind the wait but not sure how to go about it and if there could be any repercussions to me.

I have a good feeling about this guy! I am glad you went ahead with it. I would have also.

Times are what they are. Layaway made a BIG Resurgence this past holiday season.

+1 with Elizabeth, make a clear, concise and well worded contract that spells out both parties duties to perform. Payment by check, money order or transfer. Grace period and forfeture clause.

No Worries!
As your attorney, I recommend you start drinking heavily. If you want to become a finance company that's your business. I truly hope this turns out well for you. I do.
Sounds good to me. You still posess the goods, and he is giving you money. He has a much better chance of being screwed on this deal than you do. Plus, you are helping out a fellow 'phile.
