Quoted from QuarterGrabber:I never thought of that. I wonder how the law treats something you purchased at a pawn shop that was stolen goods? Is that why pawn shops put your info into the computer when you buy something?
But if they were married, it wasn't stolen. She owned half of it. So, best case he gets $112.50 from his wife.
As far as selling it back, I might consider selling it back to him for what you paid + parts + labor. But I wouldn't put it back together for him - he can come get it as-is.
...and all of that would depend on how he treated me on the phone. If he was even remotely not being super incredibly nice, I wouldn't do it.
