You asked for opinions. Apparently what you wanted was support for your position.

You know Wendell, I suppose that you may be right about that. And if that is what I was looking for, then I deserve what I get. Still, it is kind of sad to hear people state that it is OK to keep someone's money just because you have it already , and you can. I was raised differently. And to go to the extreme like Elizabeth, and say that I "stiffed" him, and he should be angry, well, it's a bit much.

  Once you tendered the deposit the money belongs to the seller. It is no longer yours. Is it that you don't want to understand basic contract law? Or just upset you made a mistake?
  
  You got the opinions you asked for ... just not the validation you really wanted. Since I've been on your end of the deal before I know how you feel, but the seller is entitled to keep the earnest money. In my case I view it as mistake made, lesson learned.

  A deposit is a commitment to buy. It is no longer your money unless the seller fells to follow through. Put a deposit down on a house and then back out of the deal. Unless you are very fortunate that money is gone and it is, usually, more than $500. Again, he had no cause to be rude. He had every right to keep the money. How would you feel if someone offered him more for the speakers before you came back to get them? You're there, money in hand, but he took the better offer. Even though you would get your deposit back I doubt you would be pleased with the seller. There are two sides to most stories.
