Apologies for the lag. This was a spur-of-the-moment recording by a friend watching me after being downed.

About six months ago I sold a large patio table because I needed some spare cash. People paid for it and never collected. They hadn't even seen the table in-person. They wanted to reserve it before I sold it to someone else, and asked of they could pay a deposit. I said I am not comfortable holding it, so if they want it they must pay in full. They did, and said they would arrange collection because they lived 80km away.

A couple of weeks went by and no collection. I reached out again, and they said they would still arrange but were just a bit snowed under with other things. Again, no collection. A month later I reached out and they said they will come in the following week, but never did. I eventually lost contact. I cleared my whatsapps and FB messenger chats and no longer knew who it was that purchased the table. I thought perhaps they would reach out when ready and they never did.

I need cash again. I placed the table up on FB Marketplace and have a few interested buyers. I got a whatsapp from the first, original buyer saying they completely forgot, asking if they can come and collect this week. I need the money. What could I do?
