Default Vette on hold,,,AGAIN!

I'm Bummin! I decided to sell one of my babies to finnish the other.I put my Tunnel Boat up for sale and got a deposit to hold it for a few weeks for a guy.Got put off for a month and a half.Then he shows up with no money!Tryin to pick it apart to buy it for what he has.I sent him home!He even wants his deposit back!What gives???Now I have to start over to sell it and spring has sprung!!I want to finnish Hammerhead, but this boat thing has me bummin and I don't want to deal with another tire kicker.Should I just keep it? I guess theres alway's overtime.(It will take alot!!!)

Whether you keep it or not is basically your decesion. If you sell the boat and can buy a similiar one later for about the same money you sell yours for, I be inclined to sell. However, if its going to cost a lot more later to purchase then I may have second thoughts.

As for refunding his deposit, much of that should have been discussed when he forked over the money. If the boat was pulled off the market because it was 'sold', the other person should realize that some financial compensation is due.

Is the car that bad, or is it a 20 footer/ driver. Sometimes we want to have everything done "now", when we know it won't happen. Step back and re-think what really needs to be done on the car, and what came wait. Win, Win...
