    Damn are all craigslist sales final?

    I just sold a lens on craigslist for $600 and drove an hour to do it and now the guy said it does not fit and wants his money back. I'm not sure what to do, I want to do the right thing but that money just paid my car payment now I got to go back to my bank and take money out.

      Why didn't the retard make sure it fit before buying it?

      I say give his money back, minus 100 for the inconvenience.

              Good question. I guess it depends if you want to be a good guy or just a guy. I don't really see anything too wrong with letting him deal with it as it was his mistake. He should have done his research before hand especially if he had you drive an hour to deliver it. But again, it comes down to if you want to be a nice guy or not.

                  You're gonna do what you're gonna do, but I wouldn't think you're under any obligation to give the guy his money back. Caveat Emptor.

                  Besides, it's his own damn fault.

                  If you did end up doing it, I'd charge him 38 cents a mile for both the previous trip and any trips that you need to make now... as well as maybe charging him a healthy "restocking fee."

                      Craigslist is just a bulletin board for you to post things for sale, they don't have the authority to decide if anything is final or not.

                      That being said, like Brad posted it's up to whether you want to be the "nice guy" or not... Hell driving an hour to deliver the lens was going above and beyond already.

                      For what it's worth, legally you're in the clear and could ignore this guy for the rest of your life.

                                  according to my accountant that fee is now up over 40 cents

                                          Distributors easily but my website sales are a lot more stable. I might have 1 big company buying 2,000 DVD's per month for a $10,000 monthly profit and then with the blink of and eye there gone, it happens all the time but usually with my smaller distributors they maybe buy 500 or so DVDs per month.

                                              That sounds like a plan to me...you drove to him to sell it and he can drive back to you if he wants his money back. If he doesn't want to drive to you then fuck him.
