According to European Community law agreements, in a private deal a buyer can ask for a return ONLY if the item doesn't match the description and/or something is wrong with the instrument. I don't know if it's the same in the States...

After careful consideration I might just buy it back cause if I was ever going to own a CS this would be it and it wasnt a horrible deal one of the nicest setup RIC's.Ive played

I did not make a kiling on it $3550.

Id be leary to say the least.

Offer him $3K for it.

"I told him before he bought it if its messed up truss rods screwed up...I would take it back."

What makes you think that might happen? If you think he may in fact have other CS basses I'd be real careful about possible switched out parts. Get the bass back and inspect it first before refunding him anything.

It doesn't smell right Ken.

Make sure he sends it to you first for inspection, then send the money..

I think he got his credit card bill...

...or maybe he found something more interesting, and trying to get his money back to afford the other thing...

Now that I think of it this is the same guy who sold Chris Papas his latest V63 w/the dead pickup

I sold a 59 Dodge a few years back. Listed every possible thing wrong with the car, and set my reserve to what I felt fair market value would be. Nuts bid it to the stratosphere,
and then expect me to take it back because the chrome was pitted. I refused.
Later, I see that said buyer is selling a trashed 59(not mine). Parts swap for sure! Hmmm as I Had suspected all along!
Point is-
Tell him to pound sand!

I know it's been said before but get the bass before you send him the money. Even GC does it that way;-)
