[Jacob-list] deposits

[messen at socket.net]

I have never charged a deposit and have been burnt extremely seldom in 
over twenty-five years.  I sell most everything by word of mouth and spend 
virtually nothing on advertising.  This means that most of my customers 
are either repeat customers or heard of me from previous customers.  This 
also means that most of my customers are either friends or future friends. 
 I sell a couple dozen sheep, half a dozen cattle, couple of dozen goats, 
plus a variety of others each year and it is working for me.  I have 
talked to others in my area and they are amazed that people do not back 
out more often.  I can not explain it, but it works for me.

> What do you require for a deposit when selling sheep? Is your deposit 

refundable? How long do you wait after a perspective buyer says "the check 
is in the mail" before you relist the sheep?
