if Dan and/or I wanted to make this happen, what would you need from us?
First figure out what you are willing to spend and make the guy an offer. If you are not certain ask for clarification, I don’t know anymore than what’s on craigslist, I have not contacted him, I don’t even know where he lives … could be Philly or Baltimore which would be a deal breaker but the listing says Lancaster.
Please ask him HOW he wants to be paid. Personal check and credit card are easy for me, getting several hundred dollars in cash would require me stopping at a PNC bank, but that’s doable. Another choice might be for you to PayPal the guy directly, but of course not until I’m there and can verify the sale.
