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.

It is obvious he cannot afford the item. Move on, unless this is the only possible chance you will ever have to sell.
Cheers

I was lucky enough to find a sellar who was willing to accomadate me. We both have quite a bit of positive feed back and we spoke on the phone more than once as well as communicating via e-mail. He received more than 50% of the cost up front which probably made the sellar's decision easier. No paypal was involved. I've never asked anyone for a lay away plan before and I probably won't again but I just couldn't pay all at once. I'm grateful to the sellar since he could have sold it to someone else. The item will take a relatively short time of 2 months to be paid off. The agreement was that the sellar would keep all the money in the event of anything happending to hinder the sale.
