Dont you just love car buying time wasters?
Advertise my Jag in Autotrader at 89.50 for three weeks. A neighbour found out I was selling it, got interested, said he would buy, stalled me while
he sold his car. 2 weeks later after I had heaps of calls where I happily pronounced sorry its sold, only to come home to a ring of the door bell
saying he has changed his mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should have known better

if it were me i'd kindly and politely point out that you'd turned potential buyers away and what the cost of the advert was and try and
get him to contribute for messing you about.

alternatively get a few bags of horse manure and deposit it through his letter box
It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care...

I learnt that lesson, nothings sold till money changes hands, deposit at least.
Don't worry your filters safe, unlike the guy above I'm true too my word.

No, no, no... magots are they way forward, until one day he opens his door to a Hitchcock style frenzy of an bluebottle infestation.....

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
"Pair of breeding mice through the letter box when on holiday"
Cheers

PS. I'm joking and in no way condone this sort of behaviour.
If a bolt is stuck force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!

Scottish Law
If you live in the Udny not far from me (North East Scotland) you could point out that in many instances a verbal contract is binding.
So the car is his and get down to the bank pronto.
Many a house buyer has been caught by making an offer he cant get out of.

I'd pop an ad in your local free ads paper for his car, with his phone number at a very attractive price

Cress seeds through the letterbox with a pint or two of water whilst the guy is on holiday.
He will come back to a green carpet that goes great on sandwiches

IMO you were the stupid one.
Never say something is sold until a deposit changes hands. If someone else turns up with the cash then let them have it.
There's no point trying to get even with the bloke, he has done nothing wrong

Yup admit all my fault... I'll stand in the corner with the Im stupid hat on.
Any stranger I would have asked for a deposit etc, but some one you chat to most days and have know 9 odd years you kind of trust. On top of the fact
he approached me, and I took him at face value. Duped again! lifes snipers get you at any angle when you are not expecting it.
Ho Hum, Back in scot ads and autotrader with "re advertised due to time waster"
Thanks

And the way to do this is;
Wait 'till he goes on holiday. Squirt a couple of pints of claret(blood) and liquidised offal through his letter box,as far up his hall as
possible.
He will come home to a set from Hellraiser.
A bike pump will do it, but it's messy, a garden spray is much better. Make sure you don't leave a trail for forensics.
Trust me this works a treat. Payback is a bitch!
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Don't use your own blood, that could be a dead giveaway, not to mention quite painful...
