Legal question about verbal contract
Posted on 5/16/24 at 11:20 am

I am just asking the question to see if it is worth pursuing legal recourse.
Offer was made on a camper and accepted verbally. While going to get funds to pay for it, which the seller also agreed to meet to exchange the funds. The seller showed the camper to someone else who bought it before the time agreed upon to exchange the funds.
When questioned about this, the seller messaged and said that they told the guy that they already had a buyer but he insisted on buying it anyway.
We are very unhappy about this outcome. Is it enforceable?

No. You got saved from making a piss poor purchase. You should send him a thank you note.

Find a different camper.
Not worth all the shite you’ll have to deal with.

It will be cheaper to just find another camper.

Take the money saved on attorney fees and add that to your existing camper budget, and move on.

The second buyer offered more money than you, or likely had it with them. Move on, seller probably hedged himself not believing you were coming back.
It's painful but if somebody has the money right now, are you going to turn down an immediate sale and wait on somebody that may or may not come back. Have the money with you next time.

I would consider that divine intervention.

The time to meet was agreed upon. It hadn't happened before it was sold to someone else

What do you think a lawyer would possibly do here and possibly be able to "enforce"?
Ponder this for about two seconds and, as others have suggested, move on.

Any good attorney will kill to have this case. Fight for your rights.

When buying used vehicles you should have the means to pay with you or at minimum make a deposit

“We were the fluffer”
It’s always better to have two buyers.
At least he didn’t bid-war you against the other guy.
He told the other guy he’s got $14,000 from you. Other guy bit and said he’d go $14,500.
Seller said that would make him look bad.
So the new buyer said, $15,000 cash?
Sold.

Absolutely not, unless you want to spend $25,000 on attorney's fees and be tied up in court for the next 4-5 years.

The seller is a dishonest peice of shite. It's good that you didn't buy anything from him. If you did, then you probably would have had a problem worth filing a lawsuit over.

Not unless a deposit changed hands. Next time leave a deposit or have cash in hand.

Even if it were enforceable, the seller would jizz on every surface of the camper before he's "forced" to sell it to you. It would be the equivalent of sending your food back at a restaurant

I’ve sold a few boats and cars. Until you have a deposit or money in hand it’s first come, first serve.
