Tom, are you SURE the two buyers are actually different people?? Maybe the buyer is scamming you to get his money back now that he has your drivers. Both coming from Norway seems fishy.
Follow Ups:
Thanks Brad but yes Yes I'm now convinced I'm indeed speaking with the original buyer. The thing that really upsets me is though is how he chooses to ignore me EVERYTIME I ask him why he didn't just arrange to have the parcel picked at my home in these past two+ years ---{ like he agreed to do when he originally purchased the drivers on 12/13/13 }---when he said he could it? He always just ignores that question and won't provide me with an answer!
In my heart I want to do the right thing and the only way I can do that is to send him $50 monthly until he's been paid back! One fellow said I should sell the preamp in power amp of my wife's audio system, which I call the " Home Theater ", but my wife shouldn't have to suffer for this fellow and whatever issues he must have.

No doubt that "fellow" came up with the suggestion to sell off some of the HT system to payoff your debt as a result of what you list as your HT system in your "Systems" profile . In the description you use "I" a couple of times and never mention your wife or use "we/our". Thus it seems reasonable for that fellow to assume the stuff is yours to do with as you see fit.
Since the HT is now off limits, consider selling off a quad of those WE845s in the main system. Proceeds would probably finance a quad of lesser Chinese 845s (temporary use) AND make a big dent in your Norwegian debt even if the Psvanes are gently used.
Steve-o that's because my wife's audio system is what I consider to be my "Home Theater" system.

Yeah, if TubeGuy was angry about the guy not having the drivers picked up, imagine how angry the guy is going to be when he finds out that it'll be another two and a half years before he gets his money back (without interest!). Can y'all say "livid"? TubeGuy needs to write him a check for the full amount ASAP, or risk being sued.
:)
Actually since he made me wait 27 months I don't feel him having to wait to get totally reimbursed is such a big deal. I could be a jerk and say go ahead try and sue me in Florida from Norway, 27 months after you didn't honor the deal we made! Plus F.Y.I. I'm 62 and disabled living on social security disability, which by federal law cannot be garnished. So what could he sue me for?
But that's not my heart. I'll pay him back @ $50 monthly and no I won't sell any of my stuff to pay him back! Why? because he could have prevented this from happening by just either contacting me sometime in these past 27 months or simply having a shipper pick the parcel up at my home as he said he'd do when he purchased the drivers on 12/13/13!
The buyer caused all this to happen, not I!

If I were you I would sell those Italian 845 amps of yours to make things right.
You could then finance a new amp (credit card, bank loan etc...) and pay for it/them a little at a time over two years. That way you could save your reputation if that matters to you.
Or, you could sell whatever the hell else that you own that has value and use the funds to pay back the gentleman that was swindled......
Just because the gentleman is in Norway and you are in central Florida does not geographically insulate you from ??????
Hypothetical Example: let's say I have a nephew that is a petite little fellow - 6'5" 285 lbs - With hate in his heart!
Let's say this fellow lives in Ruskin, FL and would love to do his uncle a solid.........
Meat; It's the right thing to do. Romans 14:2
You took the first guys money and spent it without delivering a product. If he didn't pick the product up within a reasonable time period, you should have reimbursed him and relisted the product.
You kept the first guys money and sold them to a second party for a similar amount and apparently sold and shipped a product that you no longer own, having sold it a another party. I am not even close to sure but I believe that in America they call that fraud. Double your money and double your pleasure, reduce shipping and handling costs by half by charging twice for the same item or service!You have repeatedly bragged about your super high end system and shown photos to anyone that would view them. You've got the money, pay him back, the full amount, all at once.
You recently asked for the best cost no object coax drivers and seemed to be interested in purchasing a pair based on this thread from Feb 24th:

Anyone that checked your posts can see that you are a liar and a cheat.You obviously know nothing about women and your wife is a saint for sticking around so long with someone that absolutely has to have the last word in every conversation. I don't blame her for using the box of speakers as an excuse to dump you. Perhaps if you would consider someone else's feelings and opinions before you shoot your mouth off she would not be commenting on a 2cuFt box that could be placed on a shelf.
You have been playing this poor cripple card for almost a decade now and you don't seem to be any closer to stopping your purchases of high end equipment. Maybe you should think of what you will leave your poor devoted wife and not what makes you happy for today.
I remember our conversations from about 10 years ago when you tried to scam me for a pair of vintage 10" speakers and you used the "I'm a poor crippled boy" bit on me and you went to the mods on this site at that time. You said that you were almost in tears because I wouldn't give you a discount. Up here, in Canada, we call people like that "assholes", it's a Canadian phase that means, "a person that has low moral standards and is not to be trusted". I believe they told you to shut the F--k up (I'm paraphrasing).
I believe you are a d--che bag and I would suggest that all AA members avoid doing any kind of transaction with you in the future.
Oh, and by the way please do not respond to this post as it will only reinforce your wife's view point that you can't let anyone have the last word. Just ask her!

"since he made me wait 27 months I don't feel him having to wait to get totally reimbursed is such a big deal. I could be a jerk..."Kyle, ya know, some people just make up their own rules and laws and think they're fine. Tubester bitches about two drivers sitting in his house - AFTER BEING PAID, so he thinks the buyer should be fine with waiting to get his money back. "Tit for tat", in his mind. Yeah, I wouldn't do business with Tubester, either.

You mean he paid $1600 twice to get one pair of drivers?
Legal action can put Tom in a fix. Perhaps Tom should take a loan of 1600 from a bank or somewhere and return the money to the original buyer. Must keep clear of lawyers.
Bill
No Bill one fellow paid $1600 on 12/13/13 and he was supposed to have the drivers picked up at my home! I provided him with my address, the weight & dimensions of the box, so he had all the info he needed to arrange to have the drivers picked up at my home!
About 2 years since I last heard from him, I posted on this site ---{ which is where he previously asked me about the drivers and if I was selling them --- so I created a post that said ATTN: THE FELLOW'S name in all caps. And about a week after that post here on A.A. I put the drivers up for sale again. Lo and behold a second fellow from Norway purchased the drivers. Then in his excitement about getting these drivers, he posted in a Norwegian Audio Forum, which is where the original buyer saw his post! That's how this mess started....
