This man I'm doing business with is very inconsiderate and I've lve decided to pay him in his own coin.

He supplied me books at very exorbitant rate this year to which my schools complained and I had to sell at a rate that didn't fetch much gain. I begged him to bring down the price but he wasn't bending and told me to drop his books if I'm not ok with the price claiming the cost of printing has gone up.

Three days ago, I asked him to supply more of a particular class and he said he's out of stock of it and I was like why didn't you print enough copies knowing its a new session. He said he didn't even print at all for that particular class that the one he gave me was from three years ago production. Hmm... I now thought that why did he now sell it the same high rate with the others.

So, I texted him and told him, I'm not going to pay the new rate for that class since it was from three years ago. That's cheating. He then said hes not going to collect any old rate. That I must pay the new one. Meanwhile, I had some of his books remaining from last year (old rate) that I've sold this year and even told him about it cos he didn't know. I paid part already but I'm thinking of keeping the remaining from old stock to make up for the cheating.

Am I being slothful if I do that because this man is such a greedy fellow. Books from 450 to 750. I even regret telling him about the leftovers with me. Just sent him part of the money this evening. He's not aware I still have a few more.

Please advise me cos I hate cheating.

Is your conscience at war with you?
I believe there are other competitors in the market in which you can switch over.
By the price at which you are giving to parents, are they not exorbitant?

The price I'm giving schools is not exorbitant. Very fair price.

There is no cheating here. He told u his price, for Gods sake if ure not OK with the price why not look away. Now ure saying u dont want to pay him his complete balance. That's a renage on the agreement, and it is you who is the cheat here.

It's his rate, it's his business.

Whenever they announce new Petrol rate for example, you have to start selling at the new price if it's a strictly regulated commodity, whether it's old or new stock. It's your gain or loss!

What he's doing is called "business" not "cheating". He has monopoly and you play by his rules till you become a large distributor with influence. It's a basic economic concept

Give him his money. He told you before now and you agreed.

He claimed the cost of printing went up making me believe this particular batch was among meanwhile he didn't print it this year. That's my annoyance.

I don't see any difference between you and your business partner. One tells lies about his products, the other wants to renege on her words. The problem, though, is that you seem to attribute a moral quality you apparently don't possess.

Whatever!

Meanwhile, I had some of his books remaining from last year (old rate) that I've sold this year and even told him about it cos he didn't know.




If I understand what you wrote up there.....seems to me you also cheated parents too by selling to them at the new rate books you got last year (old rate)

I didn't cheat them. I only sold at the current market price.

It looks like you are a troublesome person and also a Thief.
If you don't like the price return his books. You can not tell somebody how much they chose to sell their products.

He told you he didn't produce any for this year that the ones he even gave you are from three years ago and he has none left. You did not even ask him why!
Don't you yourself know that cost of production 3 years ago and now can be a factor why he didn't produce any this year?

Now you want to choose to pay old price that means you don't want him to be in business anymore. Please return his books if you don't want to pay the new price.

Does this warrant you calling me a thief even though I was only still threatening not to pay him but haven't done so?

Go and learn some manners because you clearly lack one.

Only a thief will know a thief but sorry to disappoint you, I'm not, otherwise I won't even be here seeking others opinion/advice.

So why are you angry since he's also giving you at current market price?

What I see here is business, not cheating, and in business which is tantamount to contract, you either agree or disagree. Just as he already asked you, return his book should you are not okay with his price, then find another seller that his/her price resonate with your expectation. Situation or when his products were produced is none of your concern. I guess you don't consider what he also had to put in place, storage wise, to get those books still intact and useful. I bet if he didn't announce to you there were stocks from past years, you wouldn't have known, so why feeling cheated? Afterall, you weren't also selling at the prices you used to. It doesn't work as you perceived it in business. You are even lucky he has been giving out his stocks to you on a pay-later terms which is an easy way of passively making income (zero effort and risk at your end as you only remit to him whenever you make sales, he has been the one bearing the risk in all sense).

Should you chose not to pay him for the old stocks with you, with the excuses he wasn't aware or must have forgotten, you would succeed in taking advantage of his good gesture. Unless, your conscience is dead already, I don't see you getting comfortable with it ever after, especially when you still get to deal with the said man. It's his sweat, don't reap it.

Once again, if you are not okay with his price, change distributor, with that you get to juxtapose and realise the advantage you have, dealing with him.

Ok. Thanks everyone for talking some sense into me. I'll pay him his money.

Thanks guys.

sunnymighty:

Thank you.

Please pay him his Money.. Old stocks or not. Remember, even if they are old stocks, the day they get finished, he will have to produce again at the current market price and not the old price anymore so if you don't pay him current market price, how will he produce again?? Try and be considerate, this is business and nobody would want to run at loss in business.

It is still the same thing. You bought the books at the old rate and sold it to parents at the new rate. You are doing exactly what your distributor is doing to you.

He who comes to equity must come with clean hands
