I have a credit at Thurston Bros I'm not using

I realize this is an odd one... short version:
I have a credit at Thurston Bros worth $850 that I'm looking to sell/transfer for $700. Carrie can verify (she said this is allowed).

Long version:
I ordered a custom Vanson almost 11 months ago, and they made a mistake (wrong leather- it was a good-looking jacket, but it was too similar to one I already owned, unfortunately). My deposit was $1k, and the balance is/was over $800. I checked on the status recently and they just finished with a large order and my new jacket hasn't started. I don't feel like waiting until Spring, plus, I'm in the market for a winter coat (right now). I'm paying Vanson a $150 fee (from my deposit) to halt production, so I have a balance at Thurston Bros of $850. However, they have very little in my size (I'm an XS, or 36). If I was a 40, I probably wouldn't have this problem.

Extra Credit:
We just spent $4k at the vet in November (one of our cats had to be put down- cancer, worst day of my life). My wife isn't too thrilled with me spending unnecessary cash on a jacket I don't need right now. So, the timing of me blowing money on a custom jacket isn't great.

So sorry to hear of thd loss of a beloved cat. My cat girls are both gone now, as is our beloved rescue cockapoo Mimi. Everyonevof them destroyrd me when they went, but... the perils of being the longer lived species in that relationship, alas. Our Bertie jackhuahua is nearly three and full of beans so hopefully not something we need to face agsin fir a few years. I'm still a cat nsn, but these dogs got right under my skin too.

I'm going to have to deal with that Edward, sooner rather than later, my girls are 12 and my boy, cross St Bernard is 7 but I know the huge breeds don't live so long, whereas one of my girls is a terrier, had all 3 dogs from pups
