From ERA's web site:

What if I want to cancel the kit after I've given you a deposit? The deposit is 100% refundable up until the time we actually start building your kit. After that, we will adjust the refund to reflect our added costs.

A $5,000 deposit is initially required to 'hold your place in line and lock in the cost'. Another $5K is required when the build actually begins. We can assume the build did begin based on:
1. The second $5K was refunded all ready, thus the build was started.
2. Steel was "bent/cut" (according to Pavulon).
We don't know what "added costs" may have been incurred and need to be "adjusted" by ERA before a partial or complete refund of the initial deposit could be made.
Based on Pavulons statement he was promised the full amount would be refunded. Frankly this seems 'unlikely' since the build was started and surely ERA incurred some expense as a result. A 'verbal agreement' is difficult to prove one way or the other, in court or here on CC. But it's much more clear if the deal is in writing! If you have something in writing, Pavulon, perhaps you could post it (assuming it doesn't violate any CC rules).
Otherwise, I'm afraid were back to where we started, 'rumor has it...'.
jwd,
Considering the seriousness of the charges and the fact that it taken SEVERAL pages to get the 'whole story' I think this thread has been fair and unbiased for the most part. Theres always a rouge post here and there in any thread that tends to distract from the matter at hand. But thats just my opinion.
