I'm selling female apparel here on lowyat.. Then one day, someone expressed his wishes to purchase a dress for his gf. He kept delaying payment but really wanted it so I turned down the other buyers. The dress is RM 40. Someone else here owed him money (I happen to know her as well). So he asked her to bank in the change of RM 12 to my account. So I received the RM 12 but am still waiting for the remainder.
He ordered the dress from me on Dec 24 2008, 07:38 PM
Received RM 12 on Jan 24 2009, 02:54 PM
Then no more news from him

So the question is, should I continue keeping it for him or forfeit his deposit (in other words makan) and proceed to sell the dress to someone else?
