Reference for Bava Batra 92:2

אמר רב אשי ואי חכים משוי ליה ראה דאמר ליה אמאי תפיסת ליה לאו משום דאית לך גבאי השתא אפקינהו ושימינהו שקול את דידך ואשקול אנא דידי א"ל רב אחא בריה דרב אויא לרב אשי מצי א"ל לא צריכנא לשומא דידך כבר שמוה קמאי דקמך:

Said R. Ashi: If he [the owner] is clever, he will procure a sight of it by saying to the tailor, The reason why you are keeping back the coat is because I owe you money, is it not? Why not then bring it out and have it valued so that you can take what is yours and I can take what is mine?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., take the coat in payment of the debt and give me the surplus. ');"><sup>3</sup></span> R. Aha b. R. Awia said to R. Ashi: The tailor can say to him, I do not require your valuation, it has already been valued by the people before you.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And I know it is not worth any more than the sum you owe me. ');"><sup>4</sup></span>
