Why fo you want to rob his money? The guy said he doesn''t have morw than 400 KD, so, give him back the advance and sell the bike to the new buyer.

Fair deal would be to sell the bike and return his money. He didnt respond nor kept his promise so he lost the deal. Also you may consider deducting 50KD as he hung the deal because of which you lost the prospective buyers.

Dear friend don’t look the technical side if you are liable to pay him back because of the wait
or whatever little trouble that you had got.
Just think about that person who gave the advance. He must be dreaming to own your bike but may be due to various reason
He could not have and now he does not have the money.
He must be hesitating to take your call because he is short of cash and may be wondering what to anser you when he picks the phone.
At the same time he from his heart may want to own the bike too.
Just send him a written message softly that u also need to urgently sell the bike or you wud face a huge loss with the reason specifying.
And also don’t forget to message him that the advance is safe with you and anytime he can come and collect it. Though he could not own the bike atleast he would
Bless you for returning his hard earned money.
And you Harrison Monteiro my friend, with KD 400 what are we going to do in Kuwait. 4 time meal or a phone.
But Karma is very powerful. Do good and see how good will come to you. Stay blessed. Have a nice day.

Its really your personal view that matters on this case but since you are asking in a public forum. Here is what you can do to pay it fairly:
You tell this guy that you would pay him back only 300 or 350 KD because of the expenses that you have incurred and delay. keep the deduction reasonable.
Then you move on to the new buyer and sell your bike off.
It seems like there was no agreement of terms&conditions between you two at the time you got the first payment. I think its not fair on your part to rob him off completely. And its also not fair that the guy can get away with the delay/inconvenience he has caused to you.

100% refund should be done as its not his fault its your fault.
Whenever you make a deal you have to stick to your words in writing just like an agreement. No one can take verbal approval.
So better return his money back 100% and sell your Bike to someone else.
if he wont response your call then try to call from someone else number and see if he picks or else keep the money with you till he ask you.

So if you decided to sell it for a low price then tell him that you will make some discount for him that no need to give 200kd instead of that tell your new discounted price to him maybe he will accept that and pay you soon.. just try

@ Harrison Monteiro
what @ Bike Lover said is very true and will be kind of you. Anyways you are going to give less that earlier quoted then why not message this guy and tell your best discounted price and that guys dream of owning the bike also will be fulfilled and your job of selling your bike also will be done.
Give a try.

Harrison, you should tell him that you are selling the bike for the new price (add the garage charges for keeping the bike) if he is ready to pay the reduced amount then give it to him. Else tell him tat you are going to sell the bike and that you will deduct KD 50 from his 400 and return 350 kd. He is a good person thats why he gave more than 50% of the bike value as advance. so be a little reasonable with him.

I think the customer is not serious about the motorbike or his cash to leave 400KWD with you for such a long time...

You can sell the Bike as per your wish. Please return the amount 400 KD to the person who given to you, when he comes.
We have to be Loyal and Honest at work. We should not squander the time and resources at our disposal. Lying, cheating, and deceiving others removes barakah from our lives.

Wow, Too many responses.
Fair enough. to all those who thought that i want to take away someones hard earned money. then sorry, i am not interested to do so.
I just wanted to know what is the standard process here in kuwait.
To those who spoke about not having an agreement between him and myself
1. Jan he said he wants to buy the bike and he did not respond until june, nor did i bother to ask him anything. i was asking 800, but he negotiated for 600.
2. in june he calls up and says he has the advance ready for the bike. that is 400kd, and he said the rest he will give during transfer, i.e 1 week from that date. which i agreed to.
3. i called him up multiple times since then, and everytime he said he doesnt have the remaining money and i would need to wait.
4. finally he claimed in the mid of september, that he will make sure he does the payment by end of september, where i clearly mentioned it to him that i will put it up for sale on october 1 incase if he doesnt return back with the due amount.
5. for this message, he read and never replied. on tuesday, i sent him a message requesting for an update again. for which he did not reply again. no where he mentioned that he doesnt want the bike or cant afford to buy it.
6. yesterday i finally put the bike up for sale. with the reserve price of 600 kd. but unfortunately it got sold for 450kd only. this means i lost 150 kd compared to the initial deal, also, since i need to pay the garage 100kd. thus i will be left with only 150kd which mathematically i can refund him. as logically no one wants to incurr unwanted losses.
i mean i wouldnt have lost any money if this man would have made the payment on time, or hadnt given false commitment.
Anyways, I am waiting for that individual to get in touch with him and i will for sure refund more than half of his down payment. for good conscience''s sake.
Thank you everyone for the moral feedback, although my question was fairly based on legal perspective with regards to what my liability was. as i wanted to discuss what could be the repercussions of his actions if it was a deal with someone who wanted to cheat or as someone said in the comments - "rob".

@Harrison Monteiro
"Legal perspective with regards to your liability" ?????
What does that even mean?
If there was no legal agreement between you two, what sort of legal advice were you expecting from a public forum? Everyone has given you their own moral view on how they would handle the matter.
