I'm going to offer to buy a record off my friend for half of what she paid for after she bought it and then realized her record player was broken.
Do you think you can get it cheaper because she doesn't have a way to play them?
I've been thinking about that since she brought it up.
Friends should not take advantage of one another. Your friend's record is still in excellent condition since it was never played. You should purchase the record off your friend at the same price that she paid for it as it is only fair.
Half off the price should be okay.
Your friend is probably upset that they can't play the record or any others to begin with. Taking advantage of this fact feels a bit exploitative. Maybe you can try to help your friend fix their record player or find a new one instead?
