Does he owe me? Please help!?

Question

Okay so one of the tenants that lives in my father-in-laws basement dooped me into buying a used xbox 360 from his work. (his job is like a rent-to-own place) He said it was refurbished and works great and it was only $200. Of course me and my husband think this is a great deal. Well a month after having it it gets the red lights of death.(its used so no warrranty) We tell him about it and he is like "man mine did the same thing, but your in luck my buddy will fix it for free just let me take it to him" So we did. We got it back with in 3-4 days. Well 2 days later it had the lights AGAIN. So we were like man again he was like "man sorry I will take it back to him" Well that was over a month ago. This past weekend we were like "MAN WHERES OUR XBOX?" he just replied "Well i cant get ahold of the guy anymore sorry, but i found such and such deal on a new xbox if you wanna buy it." Then he went to his basement and that was that. Does this guy like owe me half or for a new xbox? I am really mad. The worst part is HE CAN AFFORD IT. His rent is $450/month all utlities paid. He owns his car. His girlfried works. they eat out all the time and buy stupid ****.(m father-in-law is getting used hard core) I live in Canada so I cant sue him. How do I go about this. My father-in-law will say oh thats too bad and take his side. OOO I AM SO mad. HELP!

Answer 1

he owes you an xbox, but it won't hold up with the police or the court since you bought it with no written record of it.  Your father in law isn't taking his side, he is 100% correct.../
