Hello everyone,
Here is my situation...
I have a piece of equipment worth about $300 that needed some repair. Mr. Blog wanted to buy the item or trade for it but, not knowing how much the repairs would cost, we decided to get an estimate. Mr. Blog knew someone at a repair shop who could do the work so I decided to allow him to take the item to the shop to "get an estimate" only. While the item was at the shop, Mr. Blog lost my phone number and was unable to call me and tell me what the estimate was. Mr. Blog decided to pay for the repairs without my consent.
At this point, Mr. Blog found my number and told me the cost. The cost was more than I was prepared to spend. He is still willing to trade or buy, but minus the cost of the repairs. He is still in possesion of the item.
Has he put me in a difficult position? What are my options?
Any advice?
Thanks,
Geoff
