ok, I am not sure how long they spent at Shell Cottage, but they made their deal with the goblin three days after they arrived.  LV had then just recently gotten the wand.  I still don't think it had been a long enough time for him to decide it didn't work well and that he should kill Snape.  He really only decides to take that step when he is on the verge of meeting Harry face to face and he figures he does not need Snape anymore (because the battle is won).  Maybe LV had it for a month?
