Would you keep a $500 deposit for a car

[Bigrig]

If you sold your car and took a $500 deposit off the purchaser and they phoned up a week later syaing they do not wish to purchase the vehicle anymore and want their deposit back would you....

A) Keep the deposit and tell them to shove it

B) Give it back to them

C) Go halves in the deposit

Hmmm ... in the immortal words of Mr Squiggle ... "that's a tough one Miss Jane"!! lmao

Yards under their cooling off garbage etc would keep the money after that long ... not sure where you stand "legally" with respect to private sales and negotiations - I would suggest they're entitled to their money back unless you had implicitly (written) entered into an agreement to the contrary.

That said, are they going to take retribution (either taking you to court and/or burning your house down) over $500 ...

Let your heart tell you what is the right thing to do! lol (I'm dead set giggling to myself in my little office here in Sydney!!!!).
