I just sold a call option to a forum member. Deal was by private negotiation. It is not that hard.
Excellent. I agree the deal is not hard, the only issue is their confidence in you to deliver. I know you don't want to give away any details, but in general terms how you handled the "trust" aspect of the arrangement would be helpful.
Good Luck!
You should really use escrow for these types of long term deals.
I would be like to know how much you sold the option for and what the terms of payment are.
