<p>... you have items that you and your roommate bought? Is a price negotiated? If it was half and half, should the other person pay the original amount? Lower?</p>
<p>What items are we talking here? TV?</p>
<p>If you both want it, see who wants it more.</p>
<p>My brother had it quite easy. Out-of-state roommate never came back after Christmas break, so he got a free fridge, bike, TV, etc. Not a bad deal.</p>
<p>that’s why a lot of people find it easier to email/phone roomates before the school year begins and divy up who’s bringing what. That way the owner simply moves on with it.</p>
<p>Umm? Sell it and split the profits. That’s another alternative if both of you guys really want it.</p>
<p>where are you living next year? do you and your roommate have different roommates next year? if so, figure out what you would need to bring if your future roommate doesn’t have it and work it out.</p>
