1981 Blue Bird Wanderlodge back on eBay
Summing up my comments from several replies:
Howard: > Yes Ryan, but not being able to get it back to California is not a vehicle problem either. > Thats cold feet. Oh, I absolutely agree with you. This "discussion" I've opened up has nothing to do with Tom's coach, rather it's a general "deposit discussion" spawned from the suggestion that Tom require a deposit to protect himself. I think that's a good suggestion. Certainly the guy who walked away from Tom's deal did so of his own accord and would (and should) have lost any deposit. The only reason I brought this up at all was to give Tom and anyone else considering selling a coach a bit of "counter" to the non-refundable deposit suggestion. It's a good idea and I would require one if I were selling, but I also want buyers to know they can get that back if they find big problems that I, for whatever reason, missed. Leroy: > The argument of misrepresentation is subjective. The last time I checked, Caveat Emptor > has nothing to do with the seller. I imagine any asset for sale on Ebay or anywhere else > is available for pre-purchase inspection by the potential purchaser or his/her agent prior > bidding and/or negotiating. Regardless, if you refuse to give buyers some "warm fuzzy feelings" regarding that deposit, you are going to attract less buyers. As I said, I don't send non-refundable deposits without a guarantee of refund if item is significantly not as described. Of course that's subjective; I'd have to convince the seller he screwed up real bad in his listing to get the money back. If the seller is intentionally misrepresenting, he'll just keep the deposit anyway. That said, sellers who are willing to offer such guarantees generally wind up being solid, upstanding people with nothing to hide. Folks who are knowingly misrepresenting will stand strong on their non-refundable policy. When I call people up and they refuse to cooperate in this minor detail, that tells me I'm completely on my own and will get no support or cooperation on other matters, either. I don't make blind, long distance agreements to buy expensive things from people like that - ever. Yes, I realize there are many good, honest people who will still stand strong on this policy. That's fine. It means they miss out on some potential buyers and I miss out on some potential purchases. That's a price I'm willing to pay to save a couple grand per "inspection" on flights and non-refundable deposits. JEH: > Before I bid I informed the seller that my bid if it was the winning bid had terms attached. Yes, that's the way it has to go. You can't ask for such considerations after you win. Personally, if I'm serious about a vehicle on a place like eBay, I call the seller and have a discussion before I place any bids. -Ryan |
