Sorry Steve-O but you're mistaken. I seriously was looking to see how others viewed my situation. I can see many don't even believe I'm telling the truth, but I am. When a problem occurs in my life I think of it as a diamond, i.e., it has many faucets from which it can be viewed. By asking others their opinions I get to "view" many faucets I might have missed if I didn't ask for their opinions. I've made my final decision whether others here agree with it is alright with me. I have great feedback on Audiogon as tcscata and eBay as thetubeguy1954. This is a deal that went bad because the original purchaser stopped contacting me on 4/2014.
My wife was fed-up with the box of drivers and ready to put it on the street corner in front of our home with a sign that said; "FREE" the next time I went out and in the manufactured home community in which I live, it would have been out there about 10 minutes, if that! So the original purchaser would have been out the drivers anyway if that happened. I honestly wonder if you guys had no place to keep a box in your home besides your bedroom and your wife was nagging at you almost everyday for 2 years to get rid of it or she will, what you would do? Would it still seem like it's a problem of YOUR making and not the original buyers? Plus remember I'm disabled and I cannot move the box by myself...

...and my perception of the story as you tell it describes a situation where you made a couple of bad decisions that have come home to roost. You then come here ostensibly seeking "advice" when it's pretty clear from some of your responses to others that you had already decided on a course of action prior to posting. What can one conclude but a desire for sympathy and support?
FWIW, if I were in your position I'd refund the full $1,600 to the first "buyer". I actually would have done that two or whatever years ago. If I had unwisely decided to spend the $$ received before consummating the deal and didn't have ready cash to refund, I'd sell whatever might necessary to raise the cash to make good with the first buyer in a timely manner. And I definitely wouldn't attempt to charge a storage fee for the stuff not shipped. That's embarrassingly desperate. But that's just me.
Hello again Steve-O! Well I attempted to provide you with my real reasons why I asked for others opinions. `But you seem stuck on believing I want sympathy. After much prayer & consideration I've decided to send the original buyer the complete $1600 in monthly installments of $50 ---{ or more if I can on some months }--- until the entire $1600 is paid back. That will take 32 payments, but he will be made whole again. Unlike you I don't have much sympathy for the original buyer and I pray you'll never be in a similar situation. That makes him whole again and doesn't place undue stress on my monthly fixed income. Thanks for your advice and opinion. Hearing different opinions helped me to form my final decision.

And the original buyer has agreed to this? I bet "not".
No he hasn't, but it's the best I can do for him. At least I'm trying to make him whole again. Otherwise I guess he'll have to try and sue me for my non-garnishable monthly SSI payments.

...it's a start and certainly better than attempting to charge the stiffed buyer "storage fees". Revesing things a bit, the buyer is probably justified in charging interest on the unpaid balance.
I feel he's lucky I'm going to refund his entire $1600 ---{ even if all I can afford is $50 a month }--- considering all the problems he caused me with my wife and having that darn box sitting in our bedroom for 2 years. Especially when all he had to do was arrange for it to be picked up at my address as he agreed to do when purchasing these drivers! I only wanted to sell in N. America and he pleaded with me to sell them to him in Norway. That's why he agreed to have the parcel picked up at my home. Why did he wit 2 years and do nothing? I notice despite being an AA member he's being totally silent on this matter! Why? Because he knows it was all his fault, period!
