Hi! My name is Adam, I have a pretty straight forward situation on my hands, but I wanted to get some more opinions, and possibly some legal advise on it.
I was going to buy a food trailer from a private seller. $60,000 was the asking price. He said there was other parties seriously interested and needs a deposit to hold it for me. So we verbally agreed to $2000 and he would not sell it to anyone els. We had a couple things happen in our life that made us have to wait to get the rest of the payment for the trailer. 1 month went by, and we decided that we don't want the trailer. So I asked the seller for half of the deposit back $1000. He won't respond to me. I am wondering if I can sue them in small claims court since there was no written contract. Thanks!
