Back again!

[The-Acre]

Well in a strange turn of events I'm still the owner of a very nice LS430.  The buyer had paid me a deposit, but because I wanted the deal to be finalised by this weekend he's cancelled the deal and I've refunded him.  I know I told him there's no hurry but surely expecting things to be sewn up in two weeks wasn't an unreasonable request was it?  Shame really, he was a nice guy but I didn't want it hanging around too long as apart from anything else I would have been tempted to change my mind, and the fact that he couldn't make this weekend meant it would go into a third week. Tell me I'm not being unreasonable here.

Not unreasonable at all.

I wouldn't have refunded the deposit though

Anyway, I may as well hang on to it for the time being.  I had others contacting me via eBay offering the same price but I'm not sure I want to go through that again.

You're not wrong, I wouldn't have sold it if I wasn't trying to be practical, but as being practical seems to have failed I'm back to being impractical! Drove it for the first time in nearly two weeks today, what a fine car, I think it'll have to stay after all!

I know, but I didn't want any bad feeling to linger.

[cruisermark]

I would do the same - would'nt feel content  and I know it evades the whole point of the deposit!

.......... a while ago i was selling my 1932 Triumph tourer and a prospective purchaser sent me £1000 deposit, his wife went mad, refused to let him have yet another car and he cancelled the deal.  No amount of persuasion could convince him to take a refund of the deposit from me   so I kept it !  and the car too which is in fine fettle and can often be seen around the local roads in Newmarket at the weekends in fine weather
