Legal Question in Product Liability in Connecticut

products from auction

I have a friend that had a verbal agreement with an auction house to pay for an autographed ball..may be worth $100,000+, but the auction house claimed they did not get paid..they are re-auctioning the ball...My friend wants to sue for what he paid for the ball plus what it is worth..can he get what it is worth?

He paid $23, 000. Apparently this was on verbal agreement also..He is activaely pursuing this with a lawyer..
