Your Input Requested - What Is Right And Ethical In This Audio Equipment Sale Disaster

[Ralf11]

1.  Your 25 year "friendship" is dead, no matter what.

 

2. How much do you care about the $2,500??  Didn't you buy the very expensive Audi R8 recently?  if that was you, then $2,500 should be a trifle.

 

What charities did your (former) friend support?  You could donate $2,500 to one in his name.

Not trying to start an argument.  But the charities bit.....that would rub me the wrong way.  I've seen such suggestions before, and while never having been involved I think it a weak approach.  If I thought I had $2500 coming to me, it would seem like a slap in the face to say, "I gave your money to charity".  I'd still consider it my money, and I decide what charities get my money.  You doing that for someone else seems like a way to keep it away from them and make it so they seem an ass if they complain.  I'd consider such a move one more insult on top of the money issue. 

 

 

 

ok, he should just give it all back then

you guys are not $2,500 friends

I suggest using this as a hypo in a law class -- 1L contracts or - ... I mean hell why not... -- property class

get ahold of the the $4k guy and see if he still wants them

 

if you have a friend in common with the suspected bipolar guy, it would be helpful if they approached him about getting tmt.
