you might have to go to small claim court
but if you have the message, you should win
tell him you can't pay that much when you were quoted 400
so you will not be picking it up till the court settles the case, however you will be renting a blower till he releases your blower at 400 bucks
and the rental fee and other costs will be added to the 196.90 in the court case,
as advised by council
