Hello, about 10 months ago a buddy (of 6 years...) of mine sold me two bass amplifiers, one guitar amp, a foot pedal, and a Tobias Bass Guitar for $300. He need the money to move to Alaska badly. He sold me these things and left early and I didn't get a receipt BUT I have witness', four of them actually. Recently I was going to sell the Bass on eBay and he become furious, saying I was only "holding onto the bass" or "borrowing" Well after a long period of conversing he said he would pay me with a $350 Money Order and send it to me. Well a couple days later I get a call from his sister to meet his mother at her work to collect money that SHE was going to pay to buy the Bass ($400 now....) so i did and she met me there. I put the Bass into her car and she pulled out the Original receipt from when she purchased it (like 3-4 years ago) and said it wasn't mine and I wouldn't get it back OR the $400 as promised.... They also had Police there on me... ( This happened less then 2 weeks ago) Now I was wondering a few things. I have had these things for over 10 months now, IS the whole "Possession is 9/10s of the law" deal really REAL? And if so could I sue to get my Bass back? Or could he come and get those Amps now from me? Because I have had them so long, I DID buy ALL those things from him, plus I have 4 witness'. Sorry once again for this being so long. Thank You!!!!!What is the name of your state?
