One of my friends owned a scooter he sold to me for about $600, two years ago, when he moved to Indonesia.
I didn't get one block down the road the first time I drove it when I got a flat tyre.
On changing the tyre I also learned the brakes and bearings needed replacing, as well a new battery and a back tyre, too. I put lots of money into this bike,even before I got to use it .
Now he text messages me that he will come back, soon, and that he has a wife and a kid now and he needs that bike, and he wants to buy his bike back, but will pay only $400 for it, he insists and says that is a "fair deal".
I don't want to sound cold blooded, but he sold me a real turkey two years ago, that I had to immediately repair, even before I could use it. I like friends and I don't want to deprive someone of a nice scooter if he needs it, but enough is enough.. I feel that it is either the money I ask, or no bike...
But, of course, he probably won't be friends with me anymore. What gives?
