    Think I get what's going on? So analogy time.

    Years ago, when I was still at school, Roland at number 32 had his BMX for sale. It had seen better days but in its day was near the top of the range. Mag wheels, double stunt nuts. The lot. I really wanted to buy it but knew dealing with Roland would be hard work. He was a weird bugger.
    I also knew Bruce cobber from the other estate was interested as I had seen him giving it the once over in Roland's garden only the week before.
    Paying for it was going to be my next problem. Only having a paper round and not a lot of savings, I might have to get dad involved and he wouldn't want me paying over the odds. I spent the next few weeks backward and forward to Roland's place discussing various funding options. All up front? Weekly installments?monthly installments? Roland was still asking for too much overall imo.
    Bruce must have been having the same grief. Between us we were backwards and forwards to that place more than I'd care to remember!

    Finally Roland succumbed to a price I agreed with as well as a decent payment method in my eyes. Roland said bring the first payment by the end of next week and the bike is yours. I now just had to get the old man involved. I'm pretty sure Bruce was offered the same terms and price. He just had to come back with the money.



    This is where we're at in my crazy mind.

    Now I know how those weird religious sects feel when they go round predicting the end of the World and then nothing happens.

    We'll find out who it is sooner or later.

    If Red Henry was going to tell us more he would have already.

    Be like Russell Slade, be patient.

    He's confirmed that his lot don't have black hair, are foreign (if you live in Britain), don't have a moustache and haven't agreed anything but do have a lot of money. His reputation is firmly on the line with that lot.

    The available data from comments (both official and on here) would suggest there are 3 parties. 2 of whom have agreed price/terms and a third (RedHenry's lot) who haven't agreed a price, but Roland is hoping will gazump the other two as they have deeper pockets.

    That fits what we know, and explains why RedHenry believes a price hasn't been agreed. It also explains why it's taking so long to get over the line despite price and terms being agreed, Roland is deliberately going slow to all the third party time to swoop in. Having 2 buyers with price and terms agreed makes Roland more confident that he can afford to wait for the third party, surely he'll feel the chances of losing both buyer whilst waiting for the third is a lot less than if he had agreed a sale with just one buyer.

    Excellent summary of the situation which I am inclined to believe.

    apologies - they might have a moustache - it varies of course - again, no axe to grind, but Red henry's lot are not one of the two but could be waiting out there in the long grass if one of those two don't complete.
