Furniture Pricing Question

[Cythim]

Think of it like this, RTH... for a year, your friend has been sitting his fat, greasy ass on that furniture. Hell, he probably wipes boogers between the couch cushions. And you can damn well be assured that he's jerked off while sitting on that stuff when you weren't around.

With that in mind, do you really think that the furniture has only depreciated $50 in a years time?

The depreciation would be $100 shared between the two of them. You failed out of algebra I'd bet.

lol

I was going to let that one slip.

It really depends on the furniture and how long he expects to keep it around. Most furniture won't lose 50% of it's value in one year. If it loses 30% in that one year he should be paying $420 and if it only loses 20% it goes up to $480. Paying less than $400 would be robbing the guy.

Well no offense Roy but there's already a cum stain on the couch, and scratches on the end tables, I would take that in consideration.

J/K Roy. lol

 

[Cr122]

We hope all this helps, Roy.

Ask him to buy your half of the furniture. Take the $550 that he gives you and the $480 that Cythim is wanting you to pay the guy and buy your own stuff.

 

[Cr122]

I seriously wouldn't go over 350, but hey.

 

[Cythim]

Try looking at it from the other side, you are moving out and leaving behind furniture that you footed half the bill for. How much are you looking to get for that furniture?

I see where Cythim is going here, then pay 500 because there's already scratches and a stain on the couch.

That's fair.

We're only talking about his friends half, which depreciated half of that 100, which is 50. You failed out of fuckoffanddie I'd bet.

Depends. Why am I moving out? Was I asked to, or is a decision I made in life forcing me too? If my roomate is forcing me out, and he's the guy I bought the furniture, well, yeah, I'd expect to get compensated reasonably.

But if I'm moving out because I can no longer pay my share for rent, or for whatever other reason I've made to leave... well, getting the short end of the stick with regards to the furniture is what is called a "consequence."

Fuck that.

You agreed to pay for half the furniture. Just because homie sucks at life and has to go back and live with his parents doesn't mean it should cost you $500.

You didn't agree to that shit.

 

[Midswat]

Hey guys and gals,

Sorry RTH.

Doesn't seem as though sbk92 is going to weigh in.

 

[NoShame]

I agree with that line of thinking... I wouldn't pay him shit. BUT if you don't have a dick between your legs then just sell everything, split the money you get in return, then go buy new shit for yourself.

Yep, that is certainly what you stated.

 

[Midswat]

Yep, that is certainly what you stated.

Glad we agree.

Moving on...

We split the cost down the middle and it was 1200 total for a sofa, 2 recliners, a coffee table and 2 end tables.--Quoting RTH's post.

So it was either used or far from top of the line.

His offer of $550.00 is him getting the use of the furniture for a year for $50.00.

No.

Figure out what you want for your half and offer him that.

You're probably the only person in this thread that I'd buy a piece of furniture with and be confident that we could cone to a rational agreement as far as sales price when we broke up.

FYI.

Wow.. i honestly had no idea i'd get this much feedback in such a short time (and most of it constructive at that). Thanks alot everybody. It seems the majority think that between 350 and 400 bucks would be fair, which is what i was thinking in the first place. I thought his asking 550 was alot more than it should be, but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks again for the help.. i really appriciate it.

 

[Sheik]

Let us know what happens.

 

[dbair1967]

Pay twice what he wants...make him feel good

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Let us know what happens.

Well not only did i ask you guys, i asked my family, and some other older folks as well who i highly respect.

Pretty much everyone has told me 350-400 is more than fair.

I told him i think 500 is too much. He looked at me like i was crazy and when i explained why he just rolled his eyes and told me he didn't want to talk about it.
