The cheque went into a legitimate Trust Account. He would not risk the consequences of messing with that. If he was unreachable and his office locked up, I would worry. I still say he is just playing games with the full 48 hours thing so in his mind tomorrow is payday. If I had to take a...

At this point you owe him no explanation and the less you say to him the better. The only dialogue should now be about your deposit. Oh, and save any and all paperwork, emails, phone records and make notes of dates, conversations and phone calls.

Who knows why people behave the way they do. Everyone here can guess and can assign a very appropriate name to this guy but still not understand the tactics. I still think you will get your money, just not today. Hopefully someone on here will know the proper authority to report this to...

Peter will give good direction, follow it. I'm guessing the guy is playing "get even" by waiting the full 48 hours you gave him, which will be around 7pm today. Did you at any time give him an actual hard copy of the withdrawal? Even though the "Purchase and Sale Agreement is the...

That had me questioning hydraulics as well. I found two older listings for the same boat; one mentioned Wagner AP and the other says the transom davit is hydraulic. I guess I'll just have to go look.

Did you get what you needed, Brunetta?

Just a picture in a listing. I have no clues, nor does the listing. Hydraulics sounds good but is the copper plumbing up to standards? No mention anywhere of anything hydraulic. When I see mystery stuff before I go look, I like to know what it is so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Hey Ted. It's not the one in La Conner, nor the one in Anacortes I shook my head and finger at. So now we have three. BTW, talked to Joel in Coal Harbour, thanks for that.

A couple of those boats I have never seen but it seems to be a pretty good lineup you have there. You have my email so if there is something on Vancouver Island that catches your eye, I'd be happy to go thump the hull for you.

Nothing at all wrong with your stance, especially if it is one you are comfortable with. It will work out, I'm sure. Now, what are you looking for and how well did Gypsy Star fill your needs? Maybe we can help you find your new boat.

Great comments Peter, especially the last one which you thoughtfully chose to make. It is a pity the less than professional ones are out there to cause very bad feelings among the green buyers like Lazlo. As you saw, the paperwork on this deal was sloppy in the extreme and as stated earlier...

Sick day? Knee jerk? Oh, ok. Any brokers I know are 7 day operations and they are in the communication business, not the obfuscating, lame excuse business. The broker wrote a sloppy contract and missed several promised deadlines. A substantial deposit was in play and I think utazo89 showed...

Sorry Stéphane, I don't understand. If you have not yet purchased the boat, how could you have rebuilt it? Or did I misunderstand your first post; "Cummins engine 12V of 1973 completely revised"?

Looks like you are ok now. His "process" probably means writing a cheque requisition, handing it to Katie at the next desk; Katie writes it and hands it to the manager beside her, for signature. It then finds it's way back to your boy. If he has any smarts at all, he will realize he is the one...

Well done. Now don't let him off the hook. Stay with him. At the same time, it may have been just the owner playing games.

I completely agree. Be there when the doors open. I was just starting to get nervous about possible lack of subjects.

:thumb: You are on your way. I'm not in WA but I would say you have a get out of jail free card with the finance subject, with no lost money. If you truly don't want to go forward, get the withdrawal to him ASAP. If for some reason, your offer is accepted and you want out, play the finance card...

By the way, if you are still in the hunt when this thing sorts itself out, and it will, you might want to consider getting a buyers broker. There are plenty of good guys in your area.

You have been very patient, now it's time to be assertive. Stand up for you. If there are no surprises we don't know about, I would deliver the notice and sit there until he wrote a cheque for the deposit return. Any grief, ask for his broker number.

E-gads, I hope the offer is subject to something. Barring that, I would hope a counter is made that can be rejected and the offer withdrawn. If unable to attend at the office quickly, I would go one further; do up a withdrawal, sign it, convert it to a pdf and send it as an attachment to an...
