I think that might turn out to be even worse for the school. The small claims limit for Pennsylvania is 8 to 10k. And I don't think the school would have gotten anything close to $8000. Most of the modular office buildings are being offered for around $6000 to $7000. But the most expensive one is going for $25000.
My first impression when I saw the article was that the school got ripped off, and so if I had the chance, I would not have bought it.
The buyer might have thought that he was ripping off the school. So if he still wanted to rip off the school he could do a few things.
1. Sue the school in small claims court for cash. By the time the case has gotten to court it has probably been at least a month. And it looks like transporting those are really expensive. So it might be reasonable to argue that the buyer can't profitably move it and sell it at that time and so deserves cash.
2. Argue that he would have been able to get around the limit for small claims court lawsuits because the most expensive are going for over 24k, so 8k to 10k in damages might be reasonable.
So basically if the school didn't sell, they could be sued in small claims court which means a quick and inexpensive court case. And they might pay out more money than they would have gotten selling it.
