What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

What is the procedure for a situation that a customer pays the full price for items at a garage sale but can't take them at the time of purchase and promises to return the next day and get them. Two weeks pass and the customer hasn't returned. This was a verbal agreement and no way to contact the buyer (didn't leave phone number). How long am I obligate to hold these purchases?

If I was paid in full for something I would hold the items for quite a while, or be prepared to return the person's money if I couldn't.
