Just wanted to get some opinions

[Ran]

Late as all hell, but I'm posting my thoughts anyway.

In the mean time I pay him what he paid for the exhaust and we made an agreement.

This was the only physical exchange that was made.

He is basically saying that he could have sold the exhaust for more and made money therefore I owe him half of what if would have sold for.

Could'a, would'a, should'a don't mean sh*t. Had he given you money for the exhaust, then that would have been one thing. He didn't, so he has no right to it. Yeah, you guys made an agreement but he never came to get it so he'll pay for his neglect.

It's a pretty simple situation.

But I never once said I ws selling it to him outright. If I had known him better/longer, I would have prolly just loaned it to him. Hell I flat out gave him $75 worth of parts anyway, not to mention all the work he didn't have to pay for on his car. While he downplays the friendship, he neglected to mention that he was over at my place almost everyday for at least a few minutes. I counted him as a good friend, and therefore an agreement as such didn't seem out of the ordinary. I wouldn't have done that with some random @*******.

I was at his freakin' house only a few days before the sale,a nd after we had decided that he would get more money for the car since it had the exhaust on. Had he mentioned then that there was no intention on his part to actually do what we ahd agreed upon the 2nd time, I would have unbolted the **** on the spot. Hell, the car was even on my jackstands.

While I can understand your frustration from a personal perspective, it doesn't seem to make up for a lot on a business perspective. Which is how this seems to be playing out. If you're getting jewed as hard as it seems, I feel for you but there's really not much you can do at this point aside from chalking up your losses and moving on.

I had to go back and read your initial post to see what's up with this "2nd arrangement." Looks like he d*cked you pretty hard.

My initial post, while malinformed, is still pretty much true in it's stance. He gave you $200 and you gave him the exhaust. On a friendship level, this is a trust issue. On a business level, it's pretty much a done deal considering the exchange made. While you may have had two different perspectives on what was going on, it was what it was.

As for the later part, I'm sorry to hear that this guy has a hard time keeping his promises with you. It sucks @ss, I know. However, it's probably best to just move on. This guy seems to be headstrong with avoiding paying you and there's no real substance here to force him to. The only thing you'll get is more aggrivation and headache. Seems to me like you've gotten your fill. Just put it behind you.

Either way you go about, I hope you manage to get things resolved. Good luck.

You should definitely go to page 2 and read the other side of the story. There were friends/buddies/acquaitances/whatever you wanna call it, how many times have you made an agreement/promise with your friends without making contracts and all that? It's the principal

Yeah, I completely skipped the rest of the thread since it just seemed like more pointless <34integras bashing. I went back and read though.

Thanks Ran. Now if Miles wants to continue to be a @assmonger, he would go and screw up the possibility for me to get the exhaust from the guy he sold it to.........Oh wait, he has! Why am I not surprised? I hope they guy gets new rotors before he wrecks the car........
