satyr budweiser, sadder, but wiser

Are you screwed or protected by having completed a bill of sale with no money yet changing hands?

I think it gives a small out, but I don't know, I would have to talk to a lawyer. Not sure if I want to go down that road, or if in the end it would be worth it.

Only a pleasantly plump cat would say that about $4000 :rolleyes:

I would have gotten the four thousand up front, as security that the wc would have even come back. I once sold a motorcycle that way. The guy left me the cash, took it for a test ride, came back for the title. Had I not gotten the money first, he could well have ridden my bike off into the sunset and left me holding the proverbial bag. Check with his insurance.

Man, that sucks, Merc. I hope everything works out.

He didn't admit what he did, sell it to him as is. I really don't understand your problem here.

That was the plan, sort of, because he was so sure he wanted it, I failed to get the money up front.

I think dude is liable. Sucks that you have to go through this with your kinda-neighbor.

I'm not sure what the deal is with this. I think it will depend heavily on the wording of that bill of sale. (Lawyers suck)

At the very least he should be responsible for the cost of restoring the jet ski to operating condition.

Morally, he pays $4,000 and keeps whatever is left of the jet ski.

Legally, you both beggar yourselves and buy new yachts for your lawyers.

Legitimize the debt in court (without an attorney) and garnish his wages (without an attorney)

At least file a claim. You don't need an attorney to do that.

Quietly take out a life insurance policy on him.

Get the gubmint to bail out the 2nd hand jet-ski sector.
