Otherwise it's coming out of MY pocket, or MY insurance company, or MY hassle to file all the paperwork, and hope and stress it all comes out ok, just to make you whole on the trade.

Sad thing is, this guy deep down, probably thinks he's right.

Logically, it's kind of insane.

What he said.

Question - if you turned around and sold the nodder for twice what you figured it in the trade for is he entitled to a piece of that? I see this almost as the same situation - You did a trade. He got his end. You got yours although part of it was damaged. He wanted no part of making that right. You (luckily for you both had private insurance that covered both your asses). Tell him you'll put whatever part of the value of the nodder he believes he is entitled to toward your next insurance premium!!
