Hey Kelly, with regards to your small claims suit you may have more options. I went through a similar thing. The way it was explained to me is, once you get a judgement in your favor the next step is to get a writ of execution judgement. After that you can have his wages garnished. Do some homework and you will get your money back. If you have any questions please let me know. Also I want to buy your Bauer M2 how much do you want for it?
