However, if I was your friend and you wanted to just sell it I would say "Hey man, I was trying to open your eyes on how to become financially free, teach a man to fish kind of thing, but it you just want to sell it for quick cash then forget it, I'll sell it myself."

Use chattel in place of money, “As good and valuable consideration for this Agreement, Seller accepts a 23’ fishing boat with motor and three boxes of tools as a down payment valued at $12,000.  ”Barter items that you already own or purchase them at a discount, and you’ll be ahead of the game.Charles Parrish

It may not be for everyone, but I wanted to share my experience with you all to consider...unless ice fishing from your mobile is a fun possibility : ) 

With regard to your lender charging you to hold the rate, it sounds like he/she is just fishing for more money.
