I sold my Craftsman band saw back in March through an ad in the paper.
The
first guy bought it. He drove up in an old Volvo, looked at the saw, cut
a
board or two and wrote me a check. Said he'd be back with his SUV to
pick
it up in a day or two. Well, here we are 8 months later, and the damn
thing
is still sitting in my garage. I leave him a message every few weeks, he
says he's coming by, but never does. I'm tempted to leave it on his
front
porch one of these days.... And yes, the check cleared.

I wouldn't bother delivering it. That is just what he's hoping for.
The saw's not yours anymore. Call the guy one last time and give him
a choice, he pays rent for the floor space or you move it out of your
shop and put it on the side of street - he can pick it up any time ;-)


Possession is 9/10 of the law. Or so they say. I think if it's left on your
property for 90 days after reasonable attempts at settlement, it returns
to your discretion... if not outright ownership... for disposal. Check your
local laws accordingly. If it's a decent unit and won't cost too much to
ship/pickup, I'll pay you what he paid you so you have funds to return to
him.

PS... yes, I'm shamelessly jonesing for a bandsaw.
