Title: A scenario


ChainedSniper - March 24, 2008 05:05 AM (GMT)
Ok I got this scenario and i need to see what you guys think.

Alright, Your friend calls you up at your house and he asks if you like this one game (anygame), youve heard of it, and you want to play it, but you would never consider buying it, cuz you other games higher on your list. Its 50 bucks and he/she specifically says "Do you want this game?" You respond by saying "if you want to, its your choice." He/She doesnt saying anything about buying it for you or you having to pay you back.

FIRST QUESTION: if this happened and they say "do you want this game", and thats it, would you think that you would have to pay them back later? Honestly, i would think so unless they said something like "ill get this for you, you can just pay me back later", or after "If you want to, its your choice" they say "ok can you pay me back later?" or anything like that, @So, would you expect having to pay them back if they just said "Do you want this game"?@

A week later, your friend does ask for money, you werent expecting this and tell them that if you knew you would of never accepted the offer, say they just say, fine, its just an early Bday gift.

SECOND QUESTION: This time, put yourself into your friends shoes, would you blame yourself for thinking it was just a gift? for thinking it was a kind gesture?

Another week goes by and the BDay thing is ALL out of the window, your friend wants your money, so you say, fine, if you really want it back, take the game, but your friend HATES the game and wont accept it, but what do you know, you just happen to have another game they like, its 10 bucks cheaper cuz its older, so they say, 10$ and that game will be the trade off. You havent played the game in a while, but you know in like a month your going to want to go back to that game jsut for old times. So you decline and say no, if you want your moneys worth back, take the game

LAST QUESTIONS:
1. Do you think that it'd be fair to give the game back? dont you think thats fair?

2. If you were your friend (HATE the game) dont you think that if you were offerd the game back you would be obliged to accept it? If your asking for your money back, wouldnt it be fair to offer the game back?

Im aaksing cuz me and my friend are in a disagreement... He bought me a game and now wanted me to pay him back with something i still want of mine,

Well it's just a big misunderstanding so far it seems. Your friend needs to accept that you don't have the money right now, and I think you have to pay for the game as soon as you can.

It sucks but at least you won't ever fall for something like this again, it's a lesson learned imo :)

I agree. It seams there was no prior agreement on payment, and technically, you don't have to pay him squat. But, in order to save the friendship, I'd tell him you'll pay him back, as soon as possible. He or she, needs to understand that if they were going to want the cash, they should've made arrangements.

Now, if you don't care about the friendship, you could say you thought it was a gift, and there's not much they could do. It would be your word against his, so it would be hard for him to get any legal authority involved. Not that you'd do such a thing XP
