It was Bill Grubbs that choose to walk away from the deal. So you must then think the other guy is Joe Schmo. Probably a lot of Div. 3 guys would disagree with that. You are only hearing one side of the story. I'm sure each guy will say the other was unreasonable.

Two things are negotable, price and terms. They agreed on price. It was the terms they couldn't agree upon. They should have had a clear understanding of that before Grubbs left Florida.

As for the $1,000 - $1,200 in expenses. That's called "the cost of doing business". You win some, you lose some and sometimes you get rained out.
Bobby,
With all due respect, it appears Bill felt like the terms were agreed on. If the seller didn't think so, he should have said so. I doubt it was possible for Bill to read his mind via voice mail and email. And yeah, I'm taking in to account we're only hearing one side.

As for the cash, well, yeah, it could be counterfeit. But not likely. I don't think you could call Bill exactly hard to find, either. The drag racing community is not that big. I think Bill Grubbs paying with bogus cash after jumping through hoops to make the deal happen is a pretty big stretch.
