It is about 1.5 m tall and holds up to 40 CDs. He agreed to pay me $80 for it. A few days later, he came to tell me that $80 is a bit too much. He asked is $40 OK because they saw one in the shop for less then $50. After feeling deeply insulted I politely replied “OK! no problem”
It is now more than 2 months and I still have not received the $$. I am not bothered by the $$ but just think that sometimes people can be so cheap.
