Ron, with you being the "Ron" that I know, which is a straight forward and stand up guy, I know you bent over backwards to reason with the guy and tried to be fair.

Like I said in my previous post. The "Ron" I know bent over backwards to help. And by Ron accepting the $250 instead of the $500 was to the buyers benefit anyway. He was doing the deadbeat a favor. Geeesh!! Let that guy be the one to not pay you and then and only then would you understand. A deadbeat buyer is only short of a liar in my book.:mad: :mad:

Read Ron's previous comment on BOS stating buyer to pay IN FULL within 24 hrs.... your opinion of a week not being long enough to wait is irrelevant.

Thanks you guys. I forwarded Dave the most recent email string with dates/times/comments (or lack thereof). Buyer admitted his mistakes, and I did bend over backwards to do the deal with him. I gave him multiple chances to close the deal or give me documentation of his difficulty. He said daily for four days the money was already wired which it was not. When I had multiple buyers waiting to come view/buy the car and he just disapperaed, I gave him notice to contact me or I was going to move on. Of course, I did not hear from him for four more days and by that time I had moved on.

I appreciate opinions from both sides of this. And Marcus thanks for standing up Bro. :thumbsup: I'm cool and everyone is entitled to have their say. That's I put it out here...

I believe in Karma. is it really worth keeping the $250 when you did infact sell the car. Just be the nice guy and give the guy back his $250 and move on. Its not worth the headache this could turn into. Karma will pay you back in a different way.

Been thinking about that all day Sir. It's one thing to say, 'hey you F'd me, I'm keeping the dough' and move on, but in my mind what are actual damages? Nothing dollar-wise and I got to talk to a couple more car guys about how cool my car is.

Plus, even though Buyer #1 was in the worng, I enjoyed my interaction w him.

Thx for your comment...:cheers:

Good point Bob.

I'm gonna send the guy the link to this thread...tomorrow. :D

I'm gonna send him his money back.

Final answer.

Other people in this world can fight tooth and nail over this stuff. Not me.

I really appreciate having a community of level headed guys to rely on for advice.

You guys ROCK! :lateral:

Having recently completed a transaction with Ron on a set of wheels, I have to say he is truly exceptional to deal with. Wish there were more honest, straightforward, and helpful people like Ron out there.

Thanks again Ron!

Send him half his money back and tell him he is lucky to get it.
