Maybe he is in the ICU?
How much was the deposit, to keep things in perspective?
Your title is totally understandable, but I think its "unresponsive"
Thanks JCC. The deposit is $1,750.00. He is still unresponsive.

I feel your pain/frustration, been there done that.
Well that is serious money.
The amount of money is not really important as the principle is the same if it was even say $1.98.
What the amount does indicate to me, its enough for the vendor to profitably, in his eyes, avoid you.
Its likely a case of a small vendor going down hill and robbing Peter to pay Paul, and he ran out of Peters.
Good Luck.
