Bill of sale Breeched
Wrote up a Bill of sale for toolbox which was given a price of $500 on Sept 5,2012
Seller signed and agreed to take small down payments of $140.00, next day seller asked for another amount of $100 to help get the toolbox out of secured storage. Made a few verbal agreements for bill of sale and then was told tools would be taken out of storage and for delivery to my work facility. Upon various attempts to get the Toolbox to destination the seller was unable to make delivery,( various excuses were given for not being able to deliver) broken hitch, flat tire, numerous phone calls were made by both self and seller but never returned a real time when delivery will be made. Seller has not returned calls since Sept 9,2012. Gave the seller time to respond but no answer.
