I would have only given him a week or so...
Anything I buy privately via this site, gets funds overnighted...
When buying or selling, if someone doesn't contact me for a few days, I consider the deal "OFF" (unless notified otherwise)
Thats just the way I do business...
I understand some guys need to scrape together ca$h to do the deal...
In my opinion, if they don't have the money immediately available to send, they shouldn't commit to the deal...
I don't buy things I can't pay for "on the spot"...
Just my 2 cents...
*Edited to add:
Just wanted to mention...
A few days ago I was forced to back out of a deal, due to upcoming layoffs, and possible shutdown of my plant...
I asked the other party for his blessing in backing out of the deal...
I explained my difficult position, and offered to continue with the deal if it was a major problem for him...
He said no problem...
I sent him (2) USGI 30 round mags with green followers for his trouble...
NO CHARGE...
