[ QUOTE ]
Your only recourse is not your deposit back but also you most likely will be able to force the seller of the vehicle to sell you the vehicle. You paid your deposit and made arrangments with the seller to inspect/pickup the vehicle. A buyer of a good has an absolute right/duty to inspect a good before he accepts the good. The seller can not unilateraly resind the contract because you did not meet an unconscionable, modified term."

This is the last place I would ever like to argue with a fellow enthusiast (if you are one, and not just a lawyer soliciting clients), but if you are not familiar with ebay, the long standing practice has been inspect before you bid just like Barrett Jackson and Mecum. Its an aution, and the high bidder pays according to pre arranged terms. It is not a bid to look and say "never mind, I do not want it". If the vehicle is misrepresented or the printed description is not accurate then you have a case. As far as the buyer not collecting the car and paying in full within 72 hours, the seller (according to Ebay) can relist the vehicle and strike you as a non paying bidder. You may have a chance at getting your deposit back if "non-refundable" isnt stated. All communications must be in writing through Ebay.
I've had my goose cooked here before. Good Luck!

Chris

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

So tell us what happenned. Did you get your deposit back? Car was phony?

After several attempts to contact the seller of the 442, he finally replied. He informed me my actions forced him to contact the police and that if I continue to contact him, they will take further action.

Now it is time to drag this scumbag through the mud. I have a call into my attorney, the credit card company, and paypal.

If anyone sees the car for sale please let me know. The seller is a real winner here.

For the record, this is the jackass we're dealing with.

You should contact the cycling club and let them know what a dickhead this punk is.

What a scam If you contact him he will go to the police
What is that suppose to scare you I would tell that 29 year old punk
To bring it on and by the way his action will forced you to contact the IRS
I would normally say just have pay –pal refund your money and just move
On BUT this punk needs to be taught a lesson

You should call the local Police in his town - explain to them what has happened and file a report.
Ask them for advise while you are on the phone.
Get it all on the record.

Then call that guy, and ask for your deposit back - give him your police report number.
Don't be intimidated - you have not done anything wrong.
