my deposit back? I'm just wondering. Because if i pay a deposit and the seller decides to sell it to another person before i have paid for it in full, they are allowed to, but they have to give me my deposit back.
Theres generally not any formal contract involved in private sale, so you're really depending on good ethics of the seller to do the right thing. Really, if you pay a deposit, but change your mind - the seller isn't obliged to return any funds. Your only course of action would be to sue the seller in civil court, but I wouldn't like your chances of winning
