Hold on...you are delaying the sale, AND giving her a discount? What's in it for you other than a sale that still isnt guaranteed? Might not be a scam, but you might be getting hosed.

If you are going to hold it for her, at least get a deposit to make sure she is serious. And dont cash the deposit as a show of good faith if you wish. But until you get something from her you might be letting serious deals pass you by.
