I have the feeling im about to get stiffed here for 35.00 let me know what you guys think.
I have an arcade friend that asked me to to test some guys (lives six hours away) berzerk board set in my working cab. I don not know this guy but agree to test it out, and of coarse its dead. My arcade friend, that I may only talk to twice every six months, gives the boards owner my phone no so he calls me directly. He asks me to test each board individually in my boardset to weed out the bad boards, I agree but explain im not a repair person. The Zpu is dead I call him back and explain an he wants me to hold onto the boards and he would mail me a good zpu to test with. Fast forward 8 months (two weeks ago) this guy calls me up and wants his boards back. I tell him ill stop at the post office and let him know the shipping costs. I send him an email with the cost (35.00) and leave it at that. Forward another week the guy emails me and says he hasnt received his boards, I dont respond right away and he calls me two nights later and asks what happened. I tell him I havent received the paypal for the shipping and he responds hes not paying until I give him a comfirmation number from the post office and attempts to strong arm me over the phone.
Since when does the shipping get paid after shipped? I have nothing at stake here and did this guy a favor and tested all of his boards in my cab (for free) only to then risk getting stiffed for the shipping bill to boot? Am i out of line? Should I just shipp them?
