You bought it without trying it out?
What's that saying about 'a fool and his money are soon parted'??

Only a payment to hold it, Donnie. And, it's not a Bayliner so I'm not too worried about it. If I
don't like it, I get my money back.

Remember, you're the one who bought the Bayliner.

You complained here about your old metal boat corroding in the salt water. Are you senile?

That's ancient history. Problem was rectified after dealer backed me up against the manufacturer.
That boat was traded in on my current one three years ago.

Are you kidding? You are the dumbest person on the earth when it comes
to buying anything. How many ****ty boats have you purchased? Didn't
one literally fall apart? You are the fool, Donald White.

John, I think I recall reading that you said you put a deposit on the
Silverwing to "hold" it and if you decided against purchasing after
seeing it your deposit would be returned.

That's fine if the seller agreed but it's
something I never really understood about deposits, especially those
made sight unseen. Why should a seller agree to hold an item,
making it unavailable (lost opportunity) to other potential buyers and
then return the good faith deposit if the buyer changes his/her mind.

I always treated a deposit made under that kind of circumstance
as being subject to forfeit if the buyer changed his/her mind.

Happened a few times when I had the guitar shop. Guy would come
in, fall in love with a guitar but didn't have the $$ to purchase
at the time. If he put a deposit on it, I'd agree to hold it for
a specific period of time (usually no more than a week or two) after
which it would be made available for sale again to anyone. If the
buyer decided *not* to purchase after the time period I said I'd
hold it, his deposit was subject to being forfeited, depending on
my mood at the time and his reason.

I had one situation where a guy put $100 down on a $2,800 guitar
and showed up *six* months later to complete the purchase.
The guitar was long gone by then and the guy *demanded* his
$100 back. Told him to take a hike, mostly because of his
attitude, not the $100.

I expect you're right, there's really no reason for the dealer to return my deposit. It's just a
matter of trust. I asked him if I could change my mind and get the deposit back if there was
something I didn't like or if it didn't 'fit'. He said there'd be no problem. I agree that if he
changed his mind, I'd lose the deposit. But, I'm not worried about it. The main thing I wanted was
for him to hold the bike until I got there. The guy I talked with is the owner of the dealership,
and sounded trustworthy. (And my have things like Google reviews, Yelp, Facebook, etc. on his mind!)

Like you, there are a few trustworthy folks who sell stuff! Besides, I can't imagine not liking the
bike. I've been looking at them for several years now, and this is the nicest one with the lowest
mileage I've seen.
