I agree with you, but the amusing thing is that all of these problems could be solved with a simple contract. Lease with option to buy at set price, or guarantee to sell unless breached, etc. Its probably a 1 page contract, even. The real issue is trying to enforce it if someone defaults on that contract - it could get impossible/expensive if they are out of the country.
