A little over a month ago I sold my Plinius 8200 MKII Integrated unit to an audiogon buyer. It was mint on all visible surfaces, but had some scratches on the bottom of the unit from it's previous owner who'd mounted it on points. I'd marked the unit 8/10 even though audiogons scale didn't require the underside be taken into consideration and it probably could have passed for a 9.
I got some interest from a buyer, who one way or another got me to agree to selling it for about $100 under asking price and including shipping (wasn't that big a deal, I charged it on one of my dads business accounts). In our correspondence I told him that "audiogon does not require disclosure regarding the underside of units, but I wanted to let you know the previous owner had the unit on points and the bottom reflects that." He still wanted it, we went ahead with the transaction and acknowledged recieving it at his parents house.
Today, after more then 4 weeks of no communication he emails me complaining about the underside of the unit and how if he'd known it was as bad as it was he'd have bought a different unit as if 1: someone else would meet his price and 2: it was something that couldn't be remedied with a sharpie.
What do I do here? I only sold it to him because I was broke but needed to raise funds for another purchase. I'm not sure an easement is appropriate as it would be admitting I am wrong, which I don't feel I am, and I already bent over in this transaction.
I don't want him blemishing my perfect feedback--what would you do?
