Re: do i have rights?
none what so ever -- as tony the tuna said, "sorry charlie" --- if though within the 2 day period you did something in reliance upon the oral contract to your detriment, mortguaged your house, sold something valueable, really something detrimental relying upon the agreement TO YOU DETRIMENT that may just give you and opening to the door, opening only -- i am in the s.f. bay arear and practing real estate and probate law for over 30 years. if you really have done something call me at 925-945-6000.

Likely none.
Re: do i have rights?
No, not really. Real estate contracts must be in writing to be valid. If not real property, you may be OK with witnesses.
Re: do i have rights?
mr. koenen is correct. an agreement to purchase and/or sell real estate under all but the most unusual circumstances (which do not appear here) must be in writing.
good luck
