Since I did not originally have the car up for sale, but had an unsolicited offer from you, and we originally negotiated the terms together, and you did not follow through, I would have done the exact same thing that JBo did. Face it, he did not screw you out of 5K, you screwed yourself out of it by not following through by not acting in a professional and business like manner. If I was in his shoes, I would be thinking "I'm not going to waste any more of my time with this guy, as he is not a man of his word".........Since you broker, buy,sell expensive watches, you do know how larger ticket sales go. Same goes for a commercial or residential property, if you had approached me to sell my building, then you did not follow through on time per the contract to purchase, you would lose your deposit and that is that. The deposit is earnest money to keep you from backing out of the deal and wasting everyones time. If the deal goes south, hopefully the deposit is enough to cover the time and energies wasted...In this case, you were the one who wasted JBo's time and he has the right to be compensated for it. Once again sorry if my response gets you angry, but you did ask the question and wanted my honest answer, or you would not have asked the question in the first place.
