xbox 360 that a customer bought is claiming that it doesnt work

Well i had a 360 with 5 games and 2 wireless controllers, i needed to get money since i am going to uni soon an need a car to get there. so i posted my 360 for $400, i dont know where the box was, but i was desperate to sell it as is. couple of guys were interested and wanted to buy it. they came to my house, hooked it up, tried pgr3 and call of duty 2, everything was working perfectly. they payed an went on their way. now couple hours later they call back saying they played 30 seconds into pgr and the 3 lights are coming up. now when i had it, i never had this problem. i asked him where he placed he, he said in the middle of the room lying down on carpet. i told him to have it standing up away from carpet, and make sure the powerbar is in open air. now i dotn know wat to do..is this guy messing with me? is he trying to scam me, the seller, by switching it with a xbox 360 he already had that broke down..or am i getting ahead of myself. what should i do? is there anything i can try to clear these red lights...i mean it worked perfectly find when he tried it out.

thanks

Just keep your 400$

nope..he wants to come back and get his money backxtreme822

when he comes, test the 360, if it works then u know he is a scammer

go to his house or have them come to yours with the 360 so you can see for yourself if its really brokeFUBAR24

He is defnitley scamming you. Keep the money, it was legally his when it broke nothing you could have done. Unless you set a microscopic bomb inside the 360 just to get some kicks.bakudon

Ok, well if he's a big guy with lots of street cred, you better do as he wishes. Otherwise say it was a final purchase, especially since he tried it right in your living room infront of you with no problems. It seems like he's scamming you big time, like I really don't see how that would happen in the short span of him driving to his place then hooking it up. Something fishy indeed.X_BOX_ROXS89

no the dumb self in me didnt really think to take any precautions liek that...i jus needed money so i was kinda desperate to sell the system, but who would of thought this would happenxtreme822

Dear Thread starter,

Dont worry you are legally entitled to keep your money. You are under no obligation to return the money or even accept the return of the xbox 360. Let me give you a lesson in Law 101 when it comes to sale of goods.

You have sold a second hand item, as such there is no warranty guaranteed examples would be like the quality of the item or the aesthetic appeal of it. However you have already provided some sort of inspection of the item by letting the buyer test it in front of you so that frees up your responsiblity.

Secondly the moment the buyer has paid the money and the buyer has taken the item, risk passes to the buyer. This basically means that whatever problems that arrise after the passing of goods is the buyers responsibility not yours.

Lastly and this is key when the buyer pays for the purchase price which is considerably lower than the market price of the item the buyer is impliedly accepting the fact that he or she is accepting an inferior product and as such the risk again is undertaken by the buyer.

Moral of the story you the seller is basically safe and the for the rest out there that buy second hand items always remember you are settling for an inferior product by paying a lower price than the market price.
