this weekend I turned down what was in essence the same offer as I had given my word to holding the car...even though I didn't have a deposit. The local guy hinted he'd pay more but if I didn't sell it to him at that moment and if I called him later, he'd be lower. I told the original commited buyer he'd better send a deposit due to the pressure to sell, which he did, $500.
Now the original buyer had walked, I called buyer # two and listen to him laugh....he's suppose to call me back shortly. I anticipate his offer will be a lowball. My new car is on a tranport truck to now due to arrive Friday or Sat.
Then don't sell it to him Carl, your price is perfect and the car will sell. Like I just emailed you it was a three way deal this whole time and the third guy ruined it which is beyond our control. Your $500 richer as I didn't even mention the deposit on the phone. I definitely did everything in my power to make this happen and the guys on the board who know me so far know that I do my best to be a good buyer/seller. So if you want to blame someone blame the third guy, I had the transport reserved and credit card on file. I'm just as angry and I'm embarrassed this happened but the reality is there is nothing I can do since he backed out.

AHHHHH red! I just sold my red GTS, looking for a B/W but I'll give you 25K no questions asked. $5000 deposit.
Sorry for the lowball, but it's red. Shit hits the fan and you wanna move it, pm me.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out. Good to hear that blown kept his word and left a deposit as well as notified you that he had to back out. Shit happens, but at least he manned up and was straight up with you.
