Re: Items purchased for a friend with no payment recieved

If you had a clear understanding you are owed $200 from your friend you are entitled to payment. At the very minimum he should return the tools to you. He would be liable for any loss or damage to the tools. You can send him a letter or file suit to enforce payment. Do you have any written documentation regarding the sale? If not I suggest that you write a letter to the "friend" setting forth the agreement and asking for payment. At least you can use that demand letter in a legal cause of action.
