All right, how much is it going to take to ship that thing back? John, you have my email address. Contact me and I'll reimburse you via paypal to send the damn thing back.
Don't use snipped-for-privacy@lycos.com that email is dead now.

I've no idea what it would cost you Wes. It isn't going to cost me anything beyond what I've already invested. Perhaps you could send goofy a little gas money. He could just stop in and pick it up.
Now you understand why I rarely borrow anything from anyone. I'm also pretty scrupulous about what get's left behind. You never know when a dead beat is going to cry poor. Speed freaks are especially notorious.

That crap I posted a while back about Dave Li, however,was original and all mine. An extremely abreviated renditon is also a published work. I think it ended up as 500 words. LOL
I'd post pictures of my shop buildings, but I can't get in them right now. The guys on another newsgroup used ot have a 'messy workbench contest' a couple times a year. I slipped in a photo of a new bench I was building and they got mad because it was empty. Now, I can't find it. (The bench) :(
Please don't bail out deadbeats like gummer, it only encourages them. For example, notice that in this case, where gummy ought to have been mortified about his poor showing in the transaction, he instead went out of his way to try to smear John. That kind of behavior should never be rewarded. If you want to get involved, then tell gummer to make good on his promise to pick up the grinder, and shut up about until he does. Either that or tell him to consider the loss of his grinder a deserved and cheap fine for a single incident of BS artistry.
No...hum...I think that was a Big Joe walking forklift I sold him. I let him inspect it fully, discussed everything that was wrong with it and left it with him for a period of time before he payed me . As I recall. Its a bit foggy. As I recall..the drive gear box was on the fritz or something, but he stated that he didnt mind pushing it around like a self lifting hand truck and had taken out a drive gear so it pushed around easily.
At any time up to the point he offered up money and I accepted it, he could have simply said..sorry..too rough for me or no thanks. Granted I needed money, but there was no force on him to purchase it.
I actually like the man. Shrug. If I didnt, Id never have gotten him the drill press table, brought it to him, (Unloaded with the Big Joe as I recall) never have loaned him $250 worth of milwaukee tools and brought it to him, out of my own pocket. His place isnt easy to find, nor is it anywhere close to my service range. Shrug. Probably 60-80 miles out of the way.
I think he also got a nice granite surface plate from me as well...though thats fuzzy as hell too.
Id just like to have my grinder back if he is done with it.

So, it would seem that the facts are 1) You sold him a Big Joe forklift 2) You set out to repair it 3) For any reason you left the grinder at his place
And the disagreements are
1) He claims that you did not succeed to repair it
2) The two of you disagree as to whether it was properly described during the sale
3) You want him to ship your grinder to you and he refuses to ship it, but allows you to pick up.
