He's full of it. You bought the items legally and have the receipts to prove it. If he does take you to court, tell the judge all you know is that someone had the items up for sale at a yard sale and you stopped and bought them and here is the receipts to prove it and this man was no where around when the sales occured. Next thing you know he found out you had bought them and he started threatening you and wanted them back.

She sold the items. You have a receipt. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. That's like the person who sold a painting at a garage sale for only five dollars only to find out later it was very valuable, they can't get the painting back. They sold it. Tell him to call the law, you are legally covered.

If you like the furniture keep it,if he takes you to court show the receipts.I you really don't care about the furniture sell it back to them at the same cost or higher and make an appointment for them to come and get it,but have a sheriff present.

If it takes it to court, it is between him and her. If the court decides he should have been the owner of the items, they will just make her give him the amount of money that you paid for it (in this case, the cost of the tickets.)

Well marital property can't be sold unless there is a seperation agreement. So legally he can pursue the wife for "selling" the property. So tell him to contact his lawyer and leave you out of it.

possession is nine tenths of the law.
is he is willing to refund your money plus your reasonable expenses invoved in picking them up when you bought them??
if not, tell him to litigate.
it's likely he feels angry at his wife and simply trying to make a point, but you are not obliged to return the goods.
you purchased them in good faith, and cannot be compelled to return them without a court order.

You have the reciepts. He would have to take his ex to court. The law won't do much for him.
