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 likewise wouldn't have much problem with that, under those conditions. Especially if he has 100% positive feedback and that the feedback isn't from just a few transactions.

Unless it would cause you any financial difficulty to have the payments spread out.

Buyer offered to forfeit all payments if it didn't work out. So you get money for just your patience, and if it doesn't work out your buyer has learned a painful but valuable lesson.

However, if you have another offer at around the same price from someone who could pay now, then I'd do that.
