Non refundable deposit ? At some point shouldn't I get something.

Thats like putting a deposit down on a used car and when you come back to pick it up the seller say's I'm not going to sell it to you and I'm keeping your deposit.
What a non refundable deposit is intended for is if I came back and said I don't want the car give me my deposit back, having possibly prevented him from selling it someone else.

Besides that, John called it a Pre order and always promised a refund if you wanted.

John Pasemann / U.S. Car Tool needs to do the right and honorable thing and pay back the people he took money from.

Thanks,
Jim
