Hi all,
Looking for advice on this one:
1 month ago, myself and my gf purchased some puppies from a breeder interstate. After approximately a week, we decided to sell one of them to the parents of my gf’s godchild.
The price was agreed, and it was arranged that the father of the godchild would come to pickup on Christmas eve. Re payment, he said that payment would be made when he gets paid on Jan 15th.
So roll on 9pm on Christmas eve and the guy comes over. As soon as he arrived, it was clear this wasnt going to be a straight forward transaction. He started to demand I hand over all paperwork and details of the breeder etc.
I explained to him (a) Paperwork, including transfer of ownership will be done after full payment is made and (b) Just because a demand is being made for breeder details, I will need to ask them if they give consent to sharing their details to a 3rd party. The breeders are a private couple and not a professional breeder or anything similar. This was not a guarantee as part of the purchase.
We went over and back for about an hour arguing, to the point where it turned hostile. My gf was witness to this whole interaction.
Given the fact that the puppy was for her godchild, I decided the way forward was to give him the pup, and work out the other details later.
After sleeping on it, I regret my decision to hand over the beautiful pup.
I would like to ask your thoughts on how I should play it, if what I THINK will happen will occur (i.e. he will not send over payment as agreed).
