You make me seem like a cheap person - I don't appreciate that.  You've launched more than enough personal attacks in this thread, even daring to call me uncivilized.  I'm a student and I have better uses for my time and money than to hire a cab just so I can give you some cash.  I have studies to attend to.

If you'd like to discuss how best to resolve this issue, I'm all for it.

well, like i say before this in another thread, just admit your mistake and apology for causing any misunderstanding.  well some times a word sorry can save a lot of time and solve many problems. take the total refund that he offered and give back the set to him in one piece. so everything back into square one. don't bother anymore about the lost for fuel and time. i think both make no profit here so both have to absord some lost as well.
