Wow, Scott, your posts seem sort of harsh. I've been a fairly active trader on eBay and Craigslist over the years, and frankly life is too short to deal with deadbeat buyers. Time IS money. And there is no way to put a value or "cost" on the frustration caused by the idiots out there who make commitments that they have no intention of keeping.
And yes, I've "lost" money when a buyer flaked out and I had to sell to the next lower bidder. In this case, RamAirZ has repeatedly offered to uphold his side of the transaction. Why would anyone want to make him the 'bad guy' in this situation?
$110 bucks is not enough money to pay for the aggravation the deadbeat buyer has caused.
Just my opinion, of course.

Wow RamAirZ, I bet you didn't expect this amount of comment when you originally posted this topic??
I am not sure of the legal standing in the USA, but here in Down Under Land, anyone paying a deposit for you to hold something for a specific period, would automatically expect to loose the deposit if they did not go through with the deal.
Apart from the legal side, there is also the moral side, and I think you have more than met your obligations to this guy.
Douche bags like him make a habit of trying to take advantage of the normal good guys. The only way to stop him from doing this to other people in the future, is to take a stand, and keep his deposit.
Perhaps give him one last chance, with a firm date, to buy the wheels before they go back on the open market.
Just as a word of caution, I wouldn't go meeting him on his turf - he is just as likely to have some heavies for backup.
Douche bags rarely hunt alone - they don't have the backbone for it.
Good luck in sorting it out, but either way you can hold your head high.
Regards
