Is there a reason that you need to do this right now, because if it could wait, I'd let things to cool down more, like when he stops texting you weekly (or at least until after the holidays). At this point, he's still emotional, and liable to react badly if he finds out you sold "his" stuff (and I know it's not really his, I'm just playing devil's advocate).

Why not give him a little time to heal. The holidays are hard enough.

He's a manipulator. That's exactly what he wants her to think. Originally Posted by redrhodie

Anything else that Badger paid for is hers to dispose of. She does not need to tell him anything about them.

the only "rush" to do this now is it's one of the better times to sell snowboard gear. The mountains are opening, and people might be looking for Christmas presents. Otherwise there's really no rush.
I don't think the holidays are any tougher than other times, it's not like he's ever had me spend it with him so we don't have any "holiday memories" for him to get over.

I agree with everyone else. Do not initiate contact as it will only open up old wounds. I would have your friend sell the snowboard and fishing poles. Then I would mail the bindings to his friend with a note asking him to kindly return to Mr X for you and that's it. I know this is tough but stay strong!
