Getting money that is owed.. (small claims?)

I'm confused here. You sold your car, but the guy wanted a discount because he is giving you a jack? How does this make sense?

As far as chasing the money outstanding, just let it slide bro. Your opportunity cost of chasing down the fifty bucks will greatly exceed the money itself.

The car did not include a jack (to jack up the car in case of flat tires), so he took $50 out of his owed balance to cover that expense.

I see. Yeah, the guy is a [censored] moron for pulling that crap. You can buy a bottle jack for ten bucks at Harbor Freight, so what's up with the fifty? Still, it's not worth chasing down the money through any kind of outside source.

Car doesn't have jack. Guy wants jack. Guy thinks jack should come with car. Guy decides to take price for jack out of price for car w/o agreement from seller (OP). Guy is an idiot.
