so what's the point in taking the deposit in the first place anyway?

guessing it ensures the customer is at least partly serious

Quite right.

Really? I was under the impression that your deposit stayed with Evans' but you could put it on another bike. Anyhoo fuck that, if they want me to spend my money there they should be doing the extra - not treating me like they're doing me a favour.

Nope. Thats a myth. You can have your money back in what ever form you paid it in (back on card or cash if you paid cash).
Not sure I understand the last bit.
