I am selling all of my professional lawn equipment. I put an ad in the paper for $6500.00. Felt it was a really good price, hoping it would sell quickly. Anyway, I just got a call from a guy who wants to see it tomorrow night. He said if I would take payments for it, he would give $8000. I told him I would consider the payments. My question is this... if I agree to take the payments, even though I will have a contract, how do I ensure i get my money? I guess I am asking what you guys would do...and how can you ensure you get your money. Thanks for the help.

no way in hell. only a fool would make that deal. nobody offers to pay you more then you are asking. he has no intention of making those payments.
and who the hell sells anything in the paper these days. www.Craigslist.org dude. its free and you will sell your shit in a few days. i have sold my sofa's TV's etc before moving and it wasnt even posted on there for more then a few hours.Comment

the only thing you can ensure is that he would not make those payments. even if he did make them but was late like every other month, you would be all stressed out etc..Originally posted by jwoodyComment
