We're in this together.

Agreed... good man. For some reason, this one bugs me though. I mean, if it were you and doing this, I feel like the deal would happen. A solid decision to sell & a solid choice to buy. There would be no backing out... because our word is all we really have at the end of the day. You would not sell until you are ready, I would not buy unless I could make an accepted offer... then it would be DONE. I hear these stories on here all too often. Maybe I am naive... perhaps a hand-shake is foolish now days. Anyways, have an AWESOME week-end; I have to go home to a kid w/ an ear-infection & my wife has the flu, so better get outta here. Talk to you later!!

The following is my reply after he reneged on deal for me to buy his
'55 chevy rolling, with only 3 days before I was to picked it up.
I cancelled a ski trip and had airfare and other expenses.
He gave the guys 3 days notice. It's not like he showed up to his house and then he said Whoops, I changed my mind last week.
Airfare and a canceled trip is not the sellers fault. Those expense we just a part of the buyers cost of this deal. If he had gone to look at the car and said he didn't like it who's expenses are they? Still the buyers. It doesn't matter if it's around the corner or 1,000 miles away the buyer is the one that has to go look at the vehicle (unless agreements are made by the two parties). I don't take the buyers side just because he is the one out of money or a canceled trip. He knew those were on his table when he began this deal.
