With the better explanation, I would say that he did actually do some work for the $250. But, as pointed out, you could have done exactly that, or maybe a friend who knows these things could have guided you through it, and you would have gotten off lighter. I am not in the habit of doing work for free, and I charge up to $800 an hour. I like to make $75 an hour from someone I don't know, or I'd rather be napping or fishing. But for friends and family, we make adjustments.
