Deposits on parts

oldkimmer said

Lately it seems no one wants the part till someone puts a deposit on it. Then I have 2 or 3 ppl wanting it that will pay up right now. So part is on hold till the so called buyer says ya or nay. Kim

Are you serious? Why would someone go shopping for something they don’t have the cash to pay for? And why do you spend your time entertaining them? If someone offers to pay the full price later, that is a deal breaker. Just tell them to contact you when they have the money, and if the part is still available you will be happy to sell it to them.
I can see the point of helping other car enthusiasts and supporting the hobby, but don’t set your self up as a charity for folks that may just be taking advantage of your good nature.
