<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I was looking looking to sell my iMac on Ebay and my co-worker (iT guy) offered to sell it through his Ebay store. Unfortunetly between the time i gave it to him and it being sold his house caught fire and it was damaged. He did not bring it with him when he left and the land lord threw it away so there is no way of getting it back and taking it to apple. He said he is not "trying to rip me off" but he will not compensate me for it until he sues the land lord. This means i may or may not ever be reimbursed and it will be months if anything. It was a trade of services. I designed his website he sold my computer. I held my half of the bargain. I worry because he is leaving my office this month I may never see anything. Thank you for reading my rant and thank you in advance for any help.
