Simply put I need some advice. I'll try to convey this with a quick, short version so here it is: I had my female mystic for sale and through email came to an agreement with someone where we agree on a dollar amount much less than my asking price in exchange for a mystic potion from the first clutch she produces no charge. If she produces no potions I can either wait to see if she puts one out from clutch #2 and have one from that or simply be payed the remaing amount of what I initially wanted for her. I agreed to this deal and felt like it was a win win for both myself and the other party. A contract would then be typed up and we both sign...something that was to take place next week.
Before I had her for sale I had been pairing her with my mojave. I never witnessed locks and there was never indication that breeding took place. Well...I have been watching her closely and as of the last couple of days i now believe that she may be gravid. I don't know with 100% certainty but if I had to guess I would say she is. For myslef, this turn of events presents a new perspective on her sale and our original agreement. The other party would still like to go through with the agreement and simply add provisions based on the possibility that she is carrying eggs. Which i am not against but I have reservations about letting her go now because she is possibly gravid and may be carrying a mystic potion or even more than one. Not to mention mystics and Mojave's.
The other party has agreed to give me all rights to the clutch should she be gravid. His new offer is fair and I would like to honor our agreement in some way, my only issue being that ultimately I simply have to put my trust in someone I only know through email interaction to this point. Meaning...I have to put my faith in this person that they will be honest with what she produces. If she ends up producing 6 mystic potions (obviously just hypothetically) I have to trust that is what will be relayed to me. And not be told she only produced one for example. This person has been professional, fair and considerate. From what I can tell the deal should work out fine and without a hitch and we both come out with what we want. And i do feel a certain amount of obligation because we had an agreement and i want to honor that. But I am nervous and hesitant because in the end i have no idea who this person is and i have to trust a total stranger. So based on the information...what would you do?
