Most make up their rules for their specific situation, i.e., 'I don't hold for anybody' when selling, "I expect you to hold for me, I'll be there soon', or 'I'll hold after I have cash in hand', or "first here with the cash takes it', really good guy, "sure if you will be here, today, I'll hold that long for you"., and other variations!

So while it is irritating when they do, I can't really blame them. Legally, a promise to hold something is worthless if there has not been consideration - no money has changed hands. So I have on occasion, when I could not arrange transport, driven an hour or two just to leave a deposit to hold it. One neat trick you can often do these days is offer to paypal a deposit - it' gets the money to them instantaneous and gives proof of your good intentions, as well as legally binding the recipient.   [Reply]  [No Email]
