Hi Guys, need a little help figuring out how to do this. I'm selling my bike and I have a buyer in Canada who is totally interested, wants the bike, but wants to wait for spring. I have a few little things I need to fix on the bike before the sale, which won't take more than a couple weeks to straighten out. I have other interest, but he is the most serious. He has offered to put down 5% of the purchase price to "hold" it for him until spring, but to me that isn't really enough for me to risk losing significantly if he doesn't buy and I put it back on the market when its flooded come spring. I was going to counter that he pays half now, and the other half when he picks it up. I'm sure he won't go for that, which led me to think about escrow. Is that a good solution?
I know most people will just say screw him, tell him to pay full price and take the bike now or forget it, but he seems like a decent guy and really likes the bike adn is easy to communicate with compared to most CL folks....
What do you guys think? Escrow worth looking at?
