Advice for friend of mine

[Airowpoint 0]

I have this friend who loaned his suit to a friend of his to try. This friend of his really liked it and wanted to buy it from him. They agreed on a price but he never payed. He now ignores the e-mails, PMs and phone calls of this friend of mine. What advice should I give this friend of mine?

That sux dude...hope you...eh..your friend resolves the matter quickly.

Its too small and nice a community (when we're not bitching about what 'official record' means) to have stuff like this happen..

Whoever it is..give the poor kid his cash or his suit back *waves hand in an angry and extremly impressive display of power*

Do you have his home address? Maybe pay him a personal visit? Or if he lives to far away, find someone who lives nearby to go visit and ask what the deal is? Or maybe the person who doesn't want to give it back needs some public embarassment to motivate him?

You could post personal details online, a "service to others" to look out for this person, "make sure that no one else is conned"

Good luck with this.

This friend of mine is still hoping there is some simple misunderstanding or a valid excuse.

Your friend's friend isn't really a friend.

From Hamlet, 1603:

LORD POLONIUS:

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

So who did he try to sell his wingsuit to?
Must have been a pre-classic model..DaVincy stylee..

Bad jokes aside...Who-ever you are...Give the poor kid his suit back!
