Hello,
I sold a phone on Kijiji about a week ago and today he texts me saying the WiFi doesn't work and demands a full refund or for me to pay half of the repair costs. I deny both of these options as in my experience the WiFi worked fine and that it has been a week since the phone exchanged hands. At first, he was threatening me by demanding a refund or that he'd hand my phone number to his "brother's friend" (this guy is well over 50 years old.) I phoned the police and I asked the constable to call him and ask him to smarten up. Almost instantaneously afterwards he sends a very long and aggravated text saying that I have furthermore "motivated" him to make this "right." He is telling me that he will sue me in smalls claim court for the cost of the phone plus any additional repairs as well as the court costs themselves. I realize this is kind of a rant but I can't believe anyone would be bothered to go to court over a used cell phone. I want to know if I should even take this guy seriously or not. He obviously has a ton of free time to worry about this situation considering I sold him the phone well below average market price and that he even haggled down the price a few more dollars. In my opinion he should just take the money he saved from haggling to fix it.
If anyone can give me their 2 cents on this situation I'd greatly appreciate it! Has anything similar happened to you?
