<prompt> Human: Looking for adviceopinions to settle the debate of breaking things while borrowing them.New to squash and a poor student, I bought the cheapest squash racket I could find - 40, and I played infrequently.A year goes by and I lend the racket to a friend for a day. Unfortunately he breaks it. The cheapest racket I can find now costs 80.What is a fair amount for my friend to reimburse me?030 - Current value after depreciation40 - Original value80 - Replacement costWhat if it was something else a high end bicycle for example for 100x the price?  <response>: To me, price doesnt matter.For the sake of the argument, imagine it were a 500 racket that has been given to you as a gift. Now what? Your price has been zero, so you waive any repair?What you want is an entry-level squash racket in good condition. New or used. His job is to find that to replace the one he broke. Money has no place here, you want to play squash, and he has to restore your capability to play. At 5 from a thrift store or 80 new.
