Hi Lynn! Please tell Terry I said hi.
If you were to take payments, you would need to have a written agreement
with exactly the terms and penalties for non-payment. Something that would
easily stand up in small-claims court.

If he wants it badly enough, he can take out a loan or a cash advance on his
own credit card.

Got a question for ya.

A student wants to buy an instrument from my husband. He asked if we would
take "payments".......... I told my husband that if he wanted to take
payments, we would have to hold the clarinet until it was paid for.

Either that, or give him a barrel for one payment, a bell, etc. lol...

What would you guys do? I know college kids and new grads are strapped.
And that's exactly why I wouldn't give him the clarinet before it's paid
for.

We want to sell the instrument, but we don't want to be left holding (or not
holding, in this case) the proverbial bag..... would *you* take payments,
and if so, how would you go about it?

Thanks -

Lynn
