You didn't mention how much money you paid so this will be on the money biased side. Truthfully, If you were not satisfied with it you should have left it. Then he would have had to give all or at least a part of the money back(technically what you sent could be taken/accepted as a non-refundable deposit). On the other hand sounds to be clearly mis-represented by the seller. NOW since you've taken possesion you by law accepted as is where is and have sealed the deal-accepted the sale. Whatever you do, DO NOT CANCEL THAT CHECK. If it is over $600.00 in our municipality, for example, it is considered grand larceny and with that comes jail time. You really need to have your ducks in a row if you decide to cancel that check. Call the previous owner and try to work it out first. Usually a lawyer costs more than he's worth. No disrespect-just opinion. If you do decide to take this to court you will have to go to the locality where you bought it-then it becomes a who said what to whom in court. Never works for anyones benefit. Sorry you had a problem but there are people in this world who will lie to any and everyone. Problems like this really do hurt the hobby more than help. Dishonesty - intentional or not, is definitely not the way to do business. Tony P.S. I sell equipment for a living. I have been on both sides of the stick for one reason or another. Again above is just advice
