About a month ago, I decided to sell my xbox360. I set up a deal with a classmate. I would sell the whole system for 205 dollars. (About half the value)
On the night before the sell, I give the console a quick check to see if there was anything wrong with it. I had never had any problems before: It had run like a charm.
So I meet this guy in the morning. He asks before he takes it: Whats the warranty on this thing? I say: There is still 6 months left on the microsoft warranty. You can send it in for a free repair if you have any problems. The transaction is completed. He has my number in case anything comes up immediately.
First Week: Reports no problems, except for a button on the controller that sticks once in a while. In his own words: "Not a big deal I don't use that button anyway." We have a class together and that is when he mentioned it.
Second Week: No problems
Third Week: In class, he states: Your xbox is really loud and once when I moved it it scratched up the disc inside. I say that it is strange, but he does not pursue the conversation. Note that he has owned an exbox360 before, and understands what is normal and what is not.
So yesterday, 3 and a half weeks after his purchase, he calls me while I am at the computer. He says: "Luke, your xbox keeps ruining my cds and making a noise, and I just learned (note that he has had an xbox before) that thats not normal. I tell him to send it in for a repair. He hangs up.
Two Seconds Later: Calls me again. "No luke, im not gunna get something repaired that I payed money for. My dad thinks you scammed me and I want my money back. I say no way, I had told him the warranty was through microsoft, not me, and that it was working perfectly when I sold it to him.
Today, I get a text message: "Luke its not right for you to sell me a defective product. It was broken since day one. My parents are getting involved."
I am very stubborn. I do not intend to budge on this. Does anyone think that I am being too harsh? I have already spent most of the money, and would go into debt If i repaid him. If he had called me with problems the first couple of days, perhaps, but three weeks is to long, especially if he is saying it did not work since day one.
