Last summer a good friend of mine sold a wakeboard that he did not want to my (I will say cousin > good family friend). This was last year!

My cuz still has not payed my buddy for it. He is totally avioding him. I dont want to get involved b/c its family but I am getting sick of listening to my buddy talk about being ripped off.

tell your friend to go settle up with your cousin. you could help your friend by arranging the meeting but tell both of them that the situation is between them and you want nothing to do with it. that's what i would do.

I think you should talk to your friend and cousin. Explain the bad situation your cousin is putting you in by not paying your friend. If I learned anything from other people's situations it to never sell a family member any item of value. Too much is at stake and could go wrong.

If your cousin is now avoiding you, then you should tell your friend that he was stupid for not getting the money up front from your no good cousin.

I think the fact that it is a member of the family you should step up and hold them accountable. If someone in my family is slipping or doing something wrong I'm going to call them out and I hope they would do the same for me.

your cousin should have paid on the spot. if your friend is really mad about it, he can sue your cousin. pretty simple.

F all the politically correct crap, ask your cuz why he is such a chump. Tell him you personally want the board back or the money right then and there. If he can't make good to you he will never make good to your buddy and you guessed it, he just became supper chump looking for a new crew to ride with..

PEACE

karma is a bitch man. i think you should just post his name so all of us know not to pull, sell, or talk to that punk ass. or you could post his number so every one who has ever been ripped off can give him a call and take it out on him. then again, its just a wakeboard, tell him he can have my old crappy wakeboard, i couldn't see charging for a board unless it was less than a year old and in perfect condition.

I think your buddy has learnt a valuable lesson.

He should count his good fortune to learn such a lesson with a mere wakeboard.

Now, he won't go around selling stuff to people and not asking for da cash. duh.
