Dan, Your only recourse is that he did not state that it was a non-refundable deposit. Have your lawyer send him a letter to the effect that you are prepared to finalize the arrangements immediately and that you will take legal action if he does not return the deposit (since it was not stated as non-refundable) or if he completes a sale with someone else...then keep your fingers crossed that he gets scared and lets you out of the deal. He is obviously a jerk to do what he is doing regardless of the agreement. The only area where I might give him a little sympathy is if you said that you would only pay him in full after an inspection. Ebay doesn't work like that...you win, you pay unless the item is misrepresented.

Dan,
I emailed him for his number days before his auction ended.He waited until the last 15 min of the auction before sending his number.I called and he seemed very nervous and couldn't wait to get off the phone.I had to ask 3 times if he lived in Sunbury Ohio between Columbus and Dayton,or the one closer to Granville ohio(I have a place in Granville and I'm here now).If you look at his previous auctions you will see he lived in Granville a month or two ago,yet he had trouble making up his mind and didn't want to tell me.When I made it clear that if I won the auction I would be coming with cash and trailer the following day he got quite instead of excited. It was one bad feeling after another with that guy.His story on the car was lame,too.

Interesting Motion plate.
Looks like it was a South Bend Indiana car.
Did Joel use those type of headers?
If the seller told dan he could pick it up on the weekend I would think that would be their verbal contract.
Isn't one of the members here a lawyer that handles this type of stuff?
does anyone remember his handle here?dan, you need to get that lawyer to help you before the weekend comes and goes.

I would go thru Ebay and see if they can do anything.If not get your deposit back,leave negative feedback on him for what he has done.

I would like to publicly thank Jim Yocono (A stock) for his help this afternoon. Jim took time out of his busy day to try to remedy my situation. Jim's findings basically solidified our beliefs about this car and the seller's scam. It is people like him who offer this hobby hope for the future.

Thank you Jim!

Sincerely,
-Dan
