Tell them you have a $1000 'I'm a buyer' fee.

 

End thread.

 

Here's the big question. Why didn't you ask them what the processing fee would be prior to purchasing?

Not saying they aren't trying to fuck you, but I'm a big fan of doing some due diligence so you don't get in this situation in the first place.

 

Agreed. To be truthful, I thought I was doing my due diligence by looking up their state laws on processing fees. But I agree I should've asked specifically.
