<prompt> Human: Reddit, I need your advice in a what-do-I-do moral situation:Last week I had my smartphone fail Note 2- the third time it has failed. Im going somewhere I need GPS for - and the LCD completely fails - but the sensor is still working. As I have had the glass and headphone jack replaced with after-market repairs, I figure shes had her day and life is over.So I organise a new phone and have it within a couple of days. I was trying to limp to the end of the year with my original smartphone - when all the cool new ones come out.At the moment I have a person renting a room from me at the moment through Airbnb - hes been here for a couple of months and awesome - hes a great housemate and hes lovely to my dog who he knew was going to be here and just a all-around nice guy in town for work. Hes from a country that is not as well off as the one I reside in AustraliaWhen he saw my now old phone sitting on the table - he asked what I was going to do with it and I was shrugging my shoulders... I had no idea so he asked if he could have it. I said it probably wasnt worth repairing - the reason why I hadnt done so I know, I know, I should have tried to fix it... I was frustrated, and a bit over this device failing was because it wasnt worth me putting MORE money into it - as I bought a new phone for 380 and it would cost me 260 for a LCD replacement. At this point, im mentally thinking that if the screen is kaput - why not let someone else have it and get it repaired?...but I dont really want to give it away...He asked if he could have it for his nephew to play games on - and I was reluctant because it still has all my data on it. I relent not wanting to be an asshole and advise that the phone needs to be wiped. I told him I was super concerned about my information. I went to bed not feeling ok about it.I get a email this morning from him saying the phone has been reset - and I figure he has done it overnight, by his computer. I ask him if he can show it to me - because I am still uber uncomfortable about all of my info. It turns out he has taken it to work, someone has factory reset it and I KNOW I should have done this myself, but there was a little context of breakage and the screen is FINE.I am not rich, nor poor - but im doing a lot at the moment to gather money for renovations on my house. Im renting out my second roomworking weekends etc - but my full time job does pay pretty well - so I can afford a new phone - but I also need to use my money wisely.SO, my question in all of this is - what should I do? Should I take this one on the chin because I had agreed to give my I thought broken phone to him to pay to be repaired OR ask him to pay for it OR sell it myself?  <response>: Id chalk it up to a lesson learned.
