I don't need the cash for a month. That's the only way I'd consider this. Also the item is a snare in a particular colour and this buyer has a kit to match. I like to see this kind of reunion happen. The person who sold it to me gave me a decent deal so I'm trying to pay that forward. It's just annoying, since generally the market is down and then this one drum - I could have gotten more for it and the snare I'm buying is considerably more.
I have been in contact with the prospective buyer and told him it has to happen within a month. At least I have the second offer to fall back on. Thanks guys.
