My husband did some computer repair work for one of his buddies. The buddy didn't want to pay him in cash, so instead he gave him a computer that he had purchased from Dell. He had purchased this new one before asking my husband to fix his old one, because he didn't think it was fixable. My husband fixed it, and the buddy told him to take the new computer because he didn't have the cash to pay him for the work (around $300 for the work) and he didn't want the new computer.
Fast forward over a year, and my husband has now moved to another job. This buddy all of a sudden starts threatening my husband through the mail saying he is going to file a case in small claims court against him for $537, because he doesn't feel like paying for the computer because he does not have it.
There was no written contract with the computer service or the gift, and the new computer has since gone to his mother's house to replace hers.
My husband basically just wants to give the guy the computer back so he'll stop whining (he's very money stingy) but I wanted to check and see if anyone had any advice that might change his mind.
