here goes.
A friend asked me to find him a good deal on a laptop, obviously i turned to namechanged's thread and found precisely what he wanted. I then got him a $50 off code from namechanged as well the total came out to $600.
He asked me if i could put it on my credit card and ship it to him, i did this.
I got a call from Amex fraud department asking if the purchase was legit, i said it was and they told me to order it again because it had been canceled. I complained that i had lost the $50 code and they gave me a $50 credit.
I ordered again with a 2nd $50 code courtesy of namechanged.
2 computers arived at his home and i was billed twice(1200). I told him to call Dell and return one computer and that i would call Amex.
I called Amex and told them what happened they said return it to dell and we will contact them and tell them you are denying the charge.
My friend called Dell who offered him a $150 coupon to keep both computers, he agreed.
At this point i told my friend that i would like him to pay me $600 and give me the 2nd computer (which would cost me only$450)
He said, the computers are mine even though you paid for them and ordered them and i haven't paid you yet because i made a Kinyan on them. I said lets discuss it with a rov, he said sorry i already sold the 2nd computer.
Fast forward 2 months i get a letter from Amex saying that since Dell didn't respond in the allotted time they have removed the $600 charge.
1) who owned the computers?
2) if they were mine what is the halacha in regard to the profit he made (assuming it can't be retrieved)
3)if the computers were his is there any reason i should give him the $50 statement credit i got for the supposed lost order?
4)if i keep the $600 is that Genaivas Akum or Taus Akum?
5)If it is Taus Akum who gets the money?
Have fun!!!
