Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Contract Extensions
No problem! I hope you get lots of replies and examples of contract
renegotiations, or emails with discussions of changes to contract
terms.
Since purchases over time are privately "financed", sellers often
extend payment periods so they won't have to repossess animals which
they may not have room for in their pastures! Sellers aren't like
mortgage lenders! We deal one on one, and many sellers are quite
sympathetic when their buyers have difficulty, especially in this
current economy.
