I sold a laptop to a friend for $450. I shipped it off in 100% pristine working condition. A few days later I get a call saying it doesn't work. His mom is freaking out saying she will go to the authorities. (I don't think that holds much weight.) I sent pictures to him showing him what he'd buy. He agreed so I sent it. Now he wants his money back, obviously I spent the money on funner stuff such as drinking etc etc. What should I do?
tell him to go fuck himself
if you have proof it was in correct working order he can't touch you, bro

if you genuinely shipped it in working condition then ask what the problem/tell him to fix it himself/give it to the local pc shop.

offer to cover part of the cost to fix it
You either fix the laptop, buy him a new one or give him his money back. That's pretty much it because you're required to deliver the product and have it arrive as per the buyer's expectations (in working order and such). Maybe you could blame the company that transported the laptop for the damages and make them pay.
She would be in her right if she were to "go to the authorities"... although I would recommend her to try sort it out with you before phoning up a lawyer.

have him take it up with the shipping company ( if insurance was purchased )
since you got the proof that it was working when it left your hands, whos to say it didn't get dropped or damaged during transit or the second he opened the package he spilled his coke all over and wants you to pay for his mistakes
and referring to his mom .... I would tell her to suck my dick

Check with the shipping company (USPS, DHL, etc) and see if they have an automatic insurance included in the price. IIRC, when you mail something as a package with USPS, it automatically has some form of insurance included in the price.
usually ~$100 unless you declare a value on the shipment.CapnNismo wrote:

kill his mum, sell the body parts to fund a new laptop.

Not that this happened, but perhaps they took a part from it and then broke it? I've seen people strip appliances and then complain to get their money back.
I even had a friend who had a pure bred dog - rare expensive one. He couldn't keep it so he put an ad in the paper. This lady calls and the dog hangs at her house over the weekend. Turns out she raises this kind of dog. Then she returns the dog (a male) to my friend saying it wasn't compatible. A few months later the lady calls asking for the dog's papers proving its bloodline - her dog has puppies. My friend asked for a $500 breeding fee.
Anyway. Talk to the Mom. See what happens. Determine if the $450 is worth the friendship.

If you're a real friend. You'll fix the laptop or compensate him somewhat.
Were you smart enough to get postal insurance?
should have sold it to me for 350
Were you smart enough to include a disclaimer against any damages sustained during freight?
