Hi. Kris. in regards to payment method. our poinion is that Buyer give bank draft to seller's lawyer who keep it on behalf of seller. it is seller's lawyer, it means same as seller hold bank draft. Buyer is afraid that if seller draw money from bank before assat report come. Incase Au was 80-90% prity (poor quality), Buyer will get problem. pls request mr.Peter to persuade seller to accept his Lawyer hold bank draft, not hold it by Seller. Every body turst Lawyer, besides he is seller's Lawyer. if seller is still insist to hold himself, we suggest that it is better start with samll quanity, it is like 100kg to 300kg, then every thing done well, then increase to 1.MT per week. finaly 2.MT per week. If both parties insist own way, nobody will not sign Contract. so we have to find out best way for both partines.please discuss with mr.Peter to find out solution. thanks Yuji
