• Once agreed to, a sales agreement is legally binding.

• If we do not honour our part of the sales contract, we may either lose our deposit or be legally obliged to continue with the sale and hence pay the full amount.

• We should negotiate with the trader the amount of deposit to be paid.

• We should hold on to our money until what we have ordered is delivered and carefully checked out.

• Very small deposits may be a marketing tactic to encourage us to sign an order without reflecting.
