If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The court can decide to award the fair market value of whatever you sold. In preparation for the suit, you should attempt to contact the ex boyfriend and try to resolve the matter amicably. If he has to file suit, if you are found guilty, you will not only be responsible for the the award of damages for the item, but you will have to pay his court costs. Based on the amount of the item, this will substantially increase your liability. Your best scenario is to avoid court altogether.
