I recently attempted to sell a motorcycle through the newspaper. I had a couple come look at the motorcycle and leave a $600 deposit in the form of a check. They said that the next day they would bring the rest of the money in cash and we would complete the sale. The next day I had ten calls on the ad and told all of them the bike was sold. But the couple never came back to complete the sale. I tried for four days to contact them by phone, leaving a message on their answering machine each time asking them to call me and let me know what was going on. After four days I left a message telling them if I did not hear from them by morning I was going to assume they still wanted the bike and I was going to cash the deposit check. Today I discovered that the check was written on a closed account. What can I do? I missed out on ten opportunities to sell the bike because I they agreed to purchase the bike that night. Now I still have the bike and no one to purchase it.
