My family pays me a fair price for things like that. My mother even mentioned that she might like to *buy* my 2004 PC from me because she might need it.
She didn’t ask me to give it to her, and I’m pretty sure she’ll give me a decent price for it too. Your MIL is being rude, selfish and self-serving and she needs to know it.
I’m sorry but no way. I can’t believe she’d expect you to lose out on $1300 because you’re family. I’d take that $1500 and just tell her your sorry, but she was too late.

EXACTLY!!!
Think how many Windstones that could buy!!You married your husband, not his family. $1,300 loss isn’t worth it… I’d tell her no and to go get lost….. 🙄
Thanks, I wanna do that…Now its all just a big headache and a huge inconvience 😡 This is a nightmare…. 😡
It done…they wanna pick up the car tomorrow and both of us are at work but now tomorrow is the only day they can get the tow truck..blah blah blah… 😡
I hope someone would just steal the car tonight and that would be the end of it all.

Everybody is right, mmloda. Family or no family, there’s no reason you should have to settle for a lower selling price. Is the guy who would have picked it up for $1500 still interested? Give it to him. What will happen? Your mother-in-law will be ticked; your husband might get the idea he’s grown up now and not under his mother’s wings, everybody will get over it and you’ll have more money in your pocket. Good luck!
Maybe a blow up is what your in-laws need… I know I did when Chinook was really young. All of a sudden, they looked at me like I actually existed.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmThanks everyone for your support, I’m just having a really hard time cause I feel like my hubby is not on my side and evertime I try to talk about it and be nice its like I’m talking to a wall when it comes to his parents 😡 .
It being cmas is also not helping, I really don’t wanna start a war right before cmas… 🙁Marzena
Men and their always taking the path of least resistance. :shrug: $1200 is quite a bit of money to pass up for the sake of non-confrontation. best of luck, mmloda. Like Medley said, this might be a great opportunity to show the in-laws you and your dear husband are your own entity and heads of your own family.
Good luck with it. Personally I’d call the buyer willing to pay the full price up and tell him to come get it now so it’s gone before your MIL comes to get it. You shouldn’t lose out on money because your hubby hasn’t cut the umbilical cord/apron strings from his mother.
Did you already have an agreement with the other guy to buy it? Even if it’s only spoken you have a contract with that person to buy the car. If this is the case your mother-in-law has no legal right to the car but the other person does. I forget the exact specs but it falls under a breach of contract issue. If you had the agreement in writing then there really is nothing your mother-in-law can do about it. All you have to do is write up a bill of sale and have both parties sign it. The DMV accepts them as legit. At least that’s how it works here in NY, it might be different up there. There really is no reason you have to loose money.
On the plus side I know exactly what a mother-in-law like that is like, and Ed and I aren’t even married yet! His mother will come over our house, even if we’re not home, and do whatever she wants. I came home last Saturday to find her cooking in my kitchen! She thought she was being nice by making dinner for us. Hello! Our house, our dinner! Plus that last time she cooked, the fish was still raw and I was sick later that night. 😡 I need to have the locks on the house changed. 👿 Not that it would do me any good, she’d still find a way in. 😡
