keep an eye on that statue of limitation, here anyways it's 3 years.
you could also go after his estate not sure how you say it in english ?? or the term used.... sorry i'm french
in french it's ( hypotheque legale) thinks it's foreclosure in English ??? this means that if he declares bankrupcy !!! you still run a chance of getting $$ from the estate..
I wouldn't wait any longer no matter how nice he tries to be..
as others said bananas have lost the value so fast that you would have had to get them in 2010 to have made $$ off them.. most that got on that wagon after that, realised their mistake, since by the time their females started to lay eggs, others had bananas of every morph combo available..
I think two years of waiting is long enough, and action needs to take place.. 26K is a good chunk of $$ to lose.. wait no longer
