A few weeks ago I went to see a camper being sold by a private party. I liked the camper and gave him a $200 deposit. I offered to go to the bank to pay him in full, but he said no, that he had to go to the bank and get the title. He gave me a receipt for the deposit, but did not write that it was non-refundable.
A week later he called to say he had the title. By then buyers remorse had set in, and my wife and I realized that we really could not afford this camper.
We cancelled the sale. We offered to pay for the man's storage if he didn't sell the camper before the end of the month. He sold the camper to another buyer in less than a week.
We called yesterday for a good faith return of the deposit and he hung up on me. I then e-mailed him, and got a nasty reply from his wife.
Do I have a leg to stand on here?
