RE: Opinions wanted...

I bought a pair of speakers on Audiogon that the seller wouldn't ship and I couldn't pick them up for a week. So, I paid him a 500.00 deposit via Paypal and told him it would be NON-refundable to show how serious I was. Long story short, I did make the drive to his house a few days later, paid him the rest of the money in cash and brought my speakers home. Of course, the speakers that I just "had to have" only lasted a few months in my living room. I sold them and moved on.

IMHO, if you give a deposit on a piece of gear, you shouldn't expect your money back. How do you know the guy didn't have other offers and couldn't sell it because of your deposit? You made a poor choice, live with it and move on!
