Are you screwed or protected by having completed a bill of sale with no money yet changing hands?

I think it gives a small out, but I don't know, I would have to talk to a lawyer. Not sure if I want to go down that road, or if in the end it would be worth it.

Only a pleasantly plump cat would say that about $4000

I would have gotten the four thousand up front, as security that the wc would have even come back. I once sold a motorcycle that way. The guy left me the cash, took it for a test ride, came back for the title. Had I not gotten the money first, he could well have ridden my bike off into the sunset and left me holding the proverbial bag. Check with his insurance.

Lola Bunny · 07-03-2011, 10:49 AM

Man, that sucks, Merc. I hope everything works out.

monster · 07-03-2011, 12:21 PM

He didn't admit what he did, sell it to him as is. I really don't understand your problem here.

That was the plan, sort of, because he was so sure he wanted it, I failed to get the money up front.

I think dude is liable. Sucks that you have to go through this with your kinda-neighbor.

I was asking 4k for it and that was on the bill of sale he signed.

I'm not sure what the deal is with this. I think it will depend heavily on the wording of that bill of sale. (Lawyers suck)

wolf · 07-08-2011, 03:43 PM

At the very least he should be responsible for the cost of restoring the jet ski to operating condition.

ZenGum · 07-08-2011, 09:15 PM

Morally, he pays $4,000 and keeps whatever is left of the jet ski.

Legally, you both beggar yourselves and buy new yachts for your lawyers.

skysidhe · 07-08-2011, 10:07 PM

Legitimize the debt in court (without an attorney) and garnish his wages (without an attorney)

At least file a claim. You don't need an attorney to do that.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-08-2011, 11:03 PM

Quietly take out a life insurance policy on him.

ZenGum · 07-09-2011, 12:51 AM

Get the gubmint to bail out the 2nd hand jet-ski sector.
