body: A friend has an upholstery shop in Buffalo, NY. A customer brought her a set of seats to re-do more than a year ago. The project was completed and several attempts have been made to contact the customer to pick them up and pay for work done, to no avail. 
  
  
  Can she sell the seats at this point to recoup her investment without running into a problem, should the customer resurface down the road?
  
  
  
title: Can a repair business sell goods that haven't been picked up for over a year?
