I received a bad part. What should I do?

Mike, glad to see you come forward on this. It says a lot about you. :salut:

I have seen a lot of feedback about you and you sure seem like a good guy to me.

I am certain you weren't trying to screw over anyone. You went with what you thought about the part and went out on a limb and said it was in good shape. And it apparently isn't and needs work.

That said, we all make mistakes.

I guess one could ask if the buyer really knows that the box is in bad shape or too.

But let's for a second believe both of you guys cause I think that is the case.

The buyer doesn't need a core or a box that needs rebuilt. He was looking for a box he could use immediately without a rebuild and you said that box you were selling was such a box.

Why is it fair for the buyer to have to be out anything, let alone him having to go thru extra steps to recoup his money, like selling the box?

If a company made a mistake and sent you a defective item, would you go easily along with paying to return the one they sent so you can get the right one?

Fair is fair.

I hope this works out well. We aren't talking a lot of money here...it's the principle I think. Hate to see good folks at odds over what appears to be $25 in shipping costs.
