I am also equally surprise to see this thread. Also very surprise to hear that those forum members that encourage Lee5627 does not know what is the meaning of deposit.. Where got deposit$$ can refund. Can.. Fixed D can and still got interest.. that i know.

Take this outside the forum lah... the exchange sure no ending one.

hi bro,
i think some can understand how you feel...paid 100 for something but get nothing eventually...but you must also try to understand that seller had lost opportunity cost involved...he reserved that item for you....

if reason like "need money for emergency" then most right minded ppl will do something to help, but reason like wife scream at me....i think dont cut it....maybe you can buy your wife dinner or some skincare/cosmetic/bags and stuff....she will then say "okay!"

if seller returns, then it is surely for goodwill sake...but now that you posted on forum...i dont think it is possible anymore...

take this 100 as a small lesson...it is lucky that you are only buying an $300 stuff and not $300,000 car or hse...

I can't believe someone can't overide his wife over $300. A man's word is his bond. So if Lee wants to back out, for whatever reason, just deal with it. Its a loss of $100 deposit. take it as a lesson learnt and keep your word and integrity. I don't see the point of his thread. Is he advising other bros to
1) don't put a deposit?
2) check with your wife first before you mod?
3) don't deal with bmwsilver?

my vote goes to bmwsilver to keep the deposit, donate to his favourite (non-NKF) charity in Lee's name.

Deposits in most cases are non-refundable, unless expressedly agreed by both parties at a earlier time, and should continue to stay that way.The points raised by Kenntona and Rx7_Vtec are very valid and true. Sometimes, you have to protect the interest of the Seller's as well...

[Sknight156]

And honestly the price at $300 is quite a steal as it comes with the fog lights as well, might not even get that price from the scrap yards.... too bad my E36 cant fit....Chill man....

My bumper is still available and yet to find a buyer.
You are the one who backed out the deal with stupid reason ==> Wife screaming at you for another MOD.

I have Bought and Sold many items in this forum and all goes well because we all honoured our words as a gentleman.
Except with you

We need sincere buyer and seller in this forum and not someone who chicken-out with stupid reason to back-out deal.

Lee5627, put yourself in Ben's shoes how would you have felt when someone backed out?

I'm in total agreement with Andy et al, that the "deposit" is non-refundable unless there was a specific caveat at the point you agreed to purchase the item that the sale was conditional upon the minister of home affairs ratifying it, failing which x% of the deposit should be refundable.

i had a bad experience couple of months back. sold off my sony digicam to a fellow forum member. checked the camera with his own equipment..happy.money handed over.deals done. couple of hrs back called me back said that good is spoilt.wana refund. i did wat i could do at that time and msg him back saying i will do what i can to help him. didnt intend to refund him anyway. eventually he lodged a police case against me of fraud and cheating..damn..spent 2 months fighting this stupid case. in the end i have to refund partial to him by goodwill on the influence of a mediator. now i m stuck with a spoilt camera that i cant use or sell. moral of the story....goods sold or deposit given are non refundable...its understood..common practice if you are buying second hand with no warranty.buy if you really intend to, dun waste ppl's time on lame excuses.cheers..heh

If you can get back your deposit should you decide to "back out" of the deal.. Please tell me.. What is the purpose of the deposit in the first place then?

[SMkoh]

Bro, I think this thread is uncalled for.

willing buyer, willing seller.

I too had my deposit forfieted at PPSL for backing out on their Z4. Deposit was $5K.

But end of the day, i'm ok with it. Had to stomach the losses for backing out you see.

So, end of the day, its ok lah....$100 only!

Luckily you didn't but a house....
