So, it was for a personal amount and it cost about $500. I obviously sent him a message telling him what happened. He said shit, he wondered what had happened to that other package.
Anyway, he asked if I would pay him for the second bag, which I will do, but since I only make 1-2 big purchases a month instead of several small ones, I don't exactly have the funds to pay him right now.
He said he'd take some off the price for me being honest and I told him thanks, but he hasn't replied how much he'd take off.
What do you think is a fair price, the full $500. And if so, at what point do I become a dick because I can't pay him yet. I told him it be about another week or so before I could send him the coins and that's typically when I'd be making my next buy anyway.
Any thoughts?
If you plan on ordering from this vendor again in the future, you should pay for it. If you only pay half, for whatever reason you try to justify it, you're going to ruin the relationship and burn what could be a valuable bridge one day.
