Doing the right thing.
I need some help making a decision.

Somebody I know contacted me asking for advice on a finish nailer purchase. I gave him several options and then remembered I had one new out in my shop I wasn't using. I looked up the lowest price on ebay $150 and gave it to him for $120.

Sent it via USPS priority Feb 4th. Hasn't arrived to his house. USPS says we're screwed - they lost it but don't offer anything at all.

I have a couple used finish guns or a new brad nailer I've offered.

I don't know the other guy's proposed solution. We haven't talked about it since yesterday. I'm not sure I'm on the hook for the entire $120 since I did everything right. I definitely don't think he should absorb the entire cost either.

So, what do think?

The nailer is being used as a doorstop in the KC postal terminal because it got torn out of the box. The box has been given a plastic liner and used as a urnal in a postal jeep in Raytown. The forwarding and return addresses sold to mailorder candy company catalog mailing list.

It would have been nice to talk it out, as I don't understand the difference in the nailers. I just want one to do the job, and you are the guy that knows which one will do that.

Screw the $$ difference, just send me the one that will do the job, with some of the nails. Does that work? UPS ground is automatically insured up to $100, and gets here in a couple days.
Don't worry about that, Ed. I'm a big boy. This thread confirmed I need to pull my big boy britches up and take it. I don't know how much value "new" means to you. The brad nailer will definitely do the trick and is more versatile for more detailed projects should you ever need to do anything like that. The finish nailer is a 15 gauge nailer and will hang doors, crown, or just about any piece of wood that isn't framing.

New doesn't matter at all Phil, as it won't be new for long anyway. As I mentioned when we first talked, I just don't want junk tools and don't buy them if I can avoid it.

If you didn't insure it you are 100% at fault. He has no way of knowing if you shipped a brick or a nail gun. If it got there broken you would have to get it back before the refund, but you're screwed in this scenario. I'd give them either a new gun or a refund at their option.

It's the right thing to do, but ultimately your call.

Dude I got to agree with this. I've had the same issue with ebay folks and they were far from friends. Remember you can try to do the right thing, in the end all it gets you is a clear conscious and good karma.

It's great that you seem willing to come to some meeting of the minds. Just make sure to work out a contingency for what to do if the first one sent arrives fashionably late after this backup plan goes into effect.

And, Phobia, a little advice on the USPS, to be taken or discarded as you choose. Any time you mail something of real value through them, always get insurance for replacement cost, as well as getting tracking and either delivery confirmation or return receipt. With the way the post office loses mail, it's the only way to go.

And never send anything of the "priceless" sort through USPS. You might just as well break it or lose it yourself, and save the hassle.

Yeah, I think I'm done with USPS. I can't stomach getting ripped like that. No apology, no explanation, no idea.

I'll definitely make it work out for Ed. I'm thinking about sending him both guns so he can figure out what he wants to keep and then he can bring the other back next time he comes through town to visit his family.

One thing I would recommend not doing is going back to the post office and saying that if they do not find your fuckin' gun in ten minutes, you will come in with a bigger gun and spray this fuckin' place.
