How long to give a person to pay up?
I sold two preseason Packer tickets to my senior in high school neighbor and his dad. Dad is divorced and lives an hour away. They knew I had season tickets and told me several times that if I was looking to sell I should let them know. I figured 1/2 price ($73 for both) for a preseason game was fair and he agreed. After two weeks the kid still hasn't paid me but I saw him while taking out the garbage. He brought it up that he and his dad get paid the next day and he'd pay me then. Another 10 days has now gone by and he still hasn't paid me.
I'd rather not get the mom involved, I have no clue how to reach his dad and would feel kind of weird coming down on the kid. Do I treat the kid like a man and say enough is enough or do I keep letting it slide a while longer? Or maybe because it's only $73 do I let it slide but then am I sending him the wrong message?
