As a dealer in any commodity...livestock, automobiles, real estate, food, etc., the gist of the business is to SELL the goods, get them out the door and replace the inventory and keep things moving. You cannot become a storage center for sold goods. After all, the goods are SOLD and belong to the buyer.
Obviously, if the buyer/seller is at point A and you are at point B, some acknowledgment of the distance must be taken into consideration before the sale is completed and arrangements made......as in; you have 5, 10 or 30 days to pick up the goods. This should all be taken care of during the sales negotiations.
However, unless you make additional agreements on the health and welfare of a live critter after the sale, once the cash passes hands......it becomes yours to insure and/or take the losses should the critter become sick or die. The seller cannot be expected to become a wet nurse for your property until you find time to come get it.
You have to look at this on both sides of the coin. It protects you if you are the seller/dealer. If you are the buyer, it prompts you to retrieve your property and get it home where you can care for it.
And as to your question about this particular seller......the minute I felt uneasy when negotiating a sale, I'd walk. Anytime a seller takes the high road and becomes an arrogant a$$, he gets to keep whatever he has and I move on to the next vendor, usually after I have told him to ram his goods up his personality hole.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
