Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

purchase

I am an antique dealer,and i was called out to a ladies home,by her,to purchase some items.I offered her the price i could afford to pay for each item,and she counter offered with her price she wanted,we agreed,and i paid her for the items.A few days later,i get threatening phone calls from her son's who are lawyers,wanting the items back,and claiming i took advantage of their mother.I then called the mother back,and she even admitted that i was fair with her,and that those were her items to sell,not her son's.The son's just want to inherit the items,so that's what that is all about.I also informed them,that i had sold some of the items,so they tol;d me to go get them back,while continuinmg to harrass me,by threatening a court battle.I have been in this business for 30 years,and this is how it works.I get calls,go on these calls,and purchase items.Did i do anything wrong,and do i have to return the items.

Thankyou,les

Re: purchase

Ask them not to call you or you will report the harassment to the police. It sounds like it was an arm's length transaction and I see absolutely no basis for suit.
