Be careful with that I’m sure there are a few dealers on here who could name and shame customers not paying the account.Git - name and shame.

To cut a long story short, bought a new machine from an area rep in the company of the local sales man and shook on it. Few weeks later was contacted to say dealer had over sold there allocated number of machines and that deal is off. I still take a man at his word but has the days of this gone?
Well, regardless of what you say I think that @Cab-over Pete is a fine guy.
Handshake is deal done no going back on it . If I shake a salesman’s hand if I miby wasn’t 100% sure I was buying the right thing once the shake is done it’s a bit of relief as u know that’s it no going back on deal now . It’s final. I’ve also done a deal on something cant remember now then salesman came back and said price has actually increased but they will stand on the agreed price even if it means they making less .
Ooh you are awful....., but I like you.
Many thanks for your kind words.
You, by the way, are a cock.

Very poor customer serviceGit - name and shame.
This is the thing. Sometimes sh!t does happen and if your open and honest most people will understand.To my knowledge I’ve only ever gone back on one sale.
I sold a sheep turnover crate on here to @David.
Trouble was, it really was promised to my lad, who I hadn’t asked and who gave me massive earache for two days so I rang David and sheepishly (see that there?) asked if he would mind if I backed out.
He was very gracious and understanding but I felt like a pillock.
Another one I let go too cheapI bought a sprayer once, sight unseen. It was delivered on time and was better than expected. I like that sort of thing @Dave W
There is no magic in the handshake it is just another oral contract and the problem is proof. In the OP there are two sales people and one buyer I think, so you are not off to a great start.To cut a long story short, bought a new machine from an area rep in the company of the local sales man and shook on it.

I expect no less [emoji23]
Yes, that's correct, 2 sales people and myself. I thought because of them both being there at least one would be man enough to make sure the deal stands but that's looking unlikely. I know I have no legal rights with a verbal agreement and handshake, just dissapointed that it seems everything needs to be put in writing nowadaysThere is no magic in the handshake it is just another oral contract and the problem is proof.

In these days of smart phones there is an easy aide.
You can confirm by text or email etc what the deal is. Reminds you and the other party. If it is not what the other party thinks they agreed then you can expect a quick response.Or a formal purchase order.
That said I still think the handshake should make a difference.
I’m pretty sure a verbal contract carries as much weight in law as a written one, the problem is proving it.Yes, that's correct, 2 sales people and myself.
