Legal Question in Business Law in California

Breach of Verbal Contract
Early march, I entered into a telecommuting contract. Approximately two weeks later, I was offered a trade of my personal pc for a reconditioned model, the trade to be my OLD one for the REBUILT one. All agreements were verbal, nothing in writing. There were no conditions put on this at any time as to my employment statuts or about continuing employment or any such stipulations.
I recieved the new equipment, and after approximately 10 weeks, the employment ended. The day I left the company, I informed the employer that I would be presenting the OLD pc as per our agreement, which was verbally acknowledged. On the second day after my employment ended, I delivered my old pc, again as per my verbal agreement with the employer. I have since recieved notice that the employer wants me to return the rebuilt unit, and take back my OLD unit. I believe this to be a breach of contract, as I delivered on the original promise of my OLD unit for the REBUILT unit.
Options??

Thank you,

Re: Breach of Verbal Contract

It could go either way. My best guess is that you do not have to return the PC. I would let it slide. It is unlikely they will pursue it.
