I'm trying to sell a wonderful old Mirafone 188 CC and I've had an inquiry from a local tuba teacher as to whether I'd agree to a "rent to own" situation with a talented but poor young tuba player. I'd like to help out, and I'd like to sell the horn, but I have typically run away from these kinda deals as fast as possible. Has anyone had success doing a rent to own deal - as an individual not a music store - or is this a big no-no as I suspect?
If you've had success, how did you protect your investment?
Thanks for your advice!
