Honestly if hes your friend you should just guilt trip him, he'll realize if he was in your position he would be pissed about the same thing. I've definitely have had friends that are just leeches, try to stay away from these people habits become rituals they wont do well in the future.

Sorry, lemme just chime in once more here

In high school, i sold some speakers to a "friend" for $150. Of course, he kept dodging having to pay me back. my mom came up to me and basically said:

"just let it go. It only cost $150 to get rid of someone you don't need in your life. If you didn't pay now, then you probably would have ended up paying more than that if you continued the friendship with this person. He chose $150 over you, and you paid $150 to unload dead weight from your life. You got the better end of the deal."

that was about 16yrs ago, and it stuck with me. With my true friends, i don't expect them to pay me back...but then again, the true friends always do.

Other than that, if you owe me $20, and would rather have $20 than my friendship, then f*ck you...keep it. It's like kicking the whore outta your house while throwing cash at them for cab fare. GTFO!

K, I'm done now.

my rule of thumb is to never put myself in a situation in between money and friends. i will never sell things to my friend no matter how close we are. it just eliminates the possiblity of hassle and problems. but GL

Not going to read all the other posts..
If you threaten him, follow through or else your words are worthless and he will just laugh at you the next time.
Take anything of value of his that you want, to help compensate..

If you never see this guy and doubt you will be getting anything from him..
I would slash his tires and smash a few windows, whatever insurance wont cover that he will have to come up with out of his pocket.

You could also just beat his ass??

I bought a friend of mine food for 10$ or so because he didn't have any money..
Keep in mind that I didn't need the money, I just don't like it when people owe me money and don't want to pay up. I don't like debts, whether they are mine or someone else's. That is why I never borrow money.

After about a week, I reminded him that he owes me money. Over the next two weeks he repeatedly had enough money to pay me on several occasions and made up excuses or said I would have to take it from him.. Repeatedly "toying" with me, which just pissed me off.. He told me he wanted to see how long it would take before I took the money from him. So after telling him twice that I would beat his ass if he didn't pay up, the third time came around and I told him that it was his last chance to pay up.. If he didn't he was going to have a fucked up face for a while, I was going to take the money he owed me, and then the rest of his wallet was going to be trashed.

He payed up.

get a buncha gay porno spam sent to his email
get a buncha gay porno mags sent to his house
get a buncha strippers, escorts, and hookers to come to his work, home, or parents' home -- also, make sure they're into all the nasty shit like hot carls, dirty sanchezes, rear admirals, strawberry shortcakes, rusty trumbones, etc.

THEN repeat for his girlfriend...

if you don't need the money, go put put a sharp object into all four wheels. They are yours anyway so that is not a crime.

However, my "friend" had lend me 200$ for getting the wheels redone and all. I paid him back in 1 week (transaction time). So when I was going to jump on CE28s I was looking to sell my TEs. He immediately wanted to jump on them. Originally he wanted them for whatever price I say. Then I figured since he did me a favor I'll sell him my suspension mods with it. With that said, I sold him the wheels plus suspension mod for $$$. But he doesn't have all the money, so he needs to pay by month. I figured what the hell, he's my friend I know his girlfriend too so whatever. He pays straight on-time for two months. I got half of the $$$. Then the next month rolls around and he says he can't pay yet, has to wait until next month. THIS GOES ON FOR AT LEAST 5 months. He ignores me, doesn't pay, says he has no money. UNTIL TODAY he has not yet paid a penny. FUNNIEST THING, he tells me to lower the price (i thought we agreed?).

Now my question to you.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO (what should I do)?

GO AS EXTREME AS YOU WANT but be REALISTIC
wow he ignores you?
what a ******. what's he driving anyways? (guessing bmw as well but just wondering)
if he is, there is NO WAY he doesnt have any money.
do you have any proofs that you sold rims+suspension to him at no cost initially?

either give him another month or ... time to get a shotgun eh?

Something like this has happened to me before.

Go to his house personally, and demand the money, or demand the mods back. And you have to be pissed.
