OT.What about unhappy ebay buyers?, Tell me if this is fair Options

[james2]

So, a friend of mine had a 56 chevy 2 door post he sold on Ebay. car was pretty solid, a little rust, no motor or tranny.

So the car sells for$3250.00, a little low if you check the price of the cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The buyer sends his friend to look at the car and pick it up. The guy crawls over and under the car inspecting it, pays and hauls it off.

Couple days later the high bidder calls and says he is not happy with the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

My friend offers to repurchase the car, and is happy to do so because he had a local buyer offer more money anyway.

The High bidder doesn't want to return the car, but wants part of his money back. Or if he does return the car, he wants an additional $1000 for trailering it both ways.

My friend ask me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) and i said no way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

He is afraid of bad feedback. I told him to take the bad feedback and see if ebay will take it off or just live with it.

What would you do?

As far as cars go, I know what I'm selling. I've already poked around with screw drivers, had it to the shop for a checkup, etc... You better inspect it before the auction ends, because when the auction ends all I want to see is cash in hand and that car gone.

For what your friend sold the car for, and without engine or transmission, the guy shouldn't be expecting the world. I would tell the seller too bad. He should have come inspected the car himself BEFORE he bought it.
