Hi,
My opinion on your question is a little different I guess than most. I feel as a seller I want to give a detailed description of what I have so there are no surprises. If it is being sold in person, then they are seeing what it is at that time. If I am selling it to someone over the phone or ect., then I always give a 3 day inspection period and I always tell them that if they are not happy, to return it regardless of the reason. I also feel if I buy something and I just don't like it I want to be able to return it with no questions asked. I will never deal with anyone who states that the sale is final with no returns. First of all, you want the transaction to be a happy one for both involved. Your reputation is on the line as a seller and also as a buyer. You do not want a customer to be bad mouthing you for the rest of their live. Just say "No problem, send it back", and sell it to someone who is looking for an item just like the one you have. There are more customers out there than this one guy and if you treat him special, he may come back and buy something when you least expect it. Word of mouth is a powerful voice and it spreads rather quickly. Buyers are quickly labeled also as guys who know what they want and guys that return everything. I wouldn't worry or fret about your transaction at all, just be glad the guy returned it and you can sell it to someone who will be happy with it and gives you good feedback instead of someone who will never be happy with it and always give you negative feedback. Good collecting!
