depending on, I'll

What does this sentence mean and is it grammatical?

Depending on where I am I'll come and see you.

Which is correct please?

Depening on the number of copies the store already had of that book, they'll buy yours back at a price.
The price they buy yours back at depends on the number of copies they already have.

How would you make this natural if it isn't already?

It depends on the number of hours you need me for.

Thank you so much

Wht if I were to change it a bit and write

Depending on the number of copies they have in stock, they'll either give you $10 or $20 dollars for you copy.
Depending on the number of copies they have in stock, they'll either buy yours or not.

Can you please tell me how you would write the last sentence please?

Thank you so much

Depending on the number of copies they have in stock, they'll either give you $10 or $20 dollars for your copy.
The sentence could be clearer.

If they have only a few copies in stock, they'll buy yours; if they have a lot of copies, they won't.

1 Depending on the team that wins the game, either James or Durant will be MVP,

2 Depending on the mood he's in, he'll either read this book or that one. OK
The book he reads depends on his mood he's in. This is better that the original because it is less wordy.

It depends on the number of hours you need me for. OK
