The trial court found that Batson wrongfully converted appellees’ storage building when he sold Margaret Wright’s property, including the building. From the exhibits submitted by appellees, the trial court determined that appellees’ cost of constructing the storage building in 1993 was $8,523.90. To arrive at appellees’ damages, the court subtracted $4,000.00 from the total cost of construction, the amount appellees would have paid, according to their testimony, to relocate the building had they been permitted to remove it. The court awarded total damages of $4,523.90 for wrongful conversion. Batson argues that appellees failed to prove the fair market value of the storage building and, thus, damages were improperly awarded.
