Sorry to hear about that...

If I had enough timber available I'd let you come hunt for free.

If this guys is actually in business, you should contact the Better Business Bureau and report this. I know we've got a few lawyers on here, but I am guessing he needs to uphold his original $1500 price point.

Can you imagine forking over $34,000 on a new Chevy Silverado-Z71 package...and your Chevy dealer calls back four months later and says, "Yeah, I'm going to need that truck back...some guy just walked in and will give me $38,000 for it...sorry."

IF the guy is zoned (tax purposes) as a business, he cannot pull the original price of the trip off the table.

Let us know how it all works out for ya.
