Default Opinions wanted on this disagreement

A lad on the MLR came over to my house to buy an radiator fan from me as I was breaking my Evo 5. He had shown a bit of interest in a tubular stainless manifold i had in the garage too, but said he couldnt afford it, so before he turns up i offered him the chance to have a look at it while he was round collecting the radiator fan.

This is the manifold in question









He comes round, goes into my garage, has a look at the manifold (in his own hands) and says "yeah i'll have it", hands over the money to me and doesnt ask a single question about it!

Now 3 weeks later he is demanding a refund because i didnt tell him it wasnt a standard fitment Evo manifold, that i didnt tell him it would require a gt series turbo and external wastegate, and that it hadnt already been fitted to my 365bhp Evo 5, imo you can clearly see all of the above things for yourself, and if you cant well you shouldnt be buying manifolds and such like!

He has since pm's me sayig things like

"I didnt ask as I thought it was off your Evo you were breaking, Not a bad assumption to make reall as you were selling parts from this car.

You also knew what car I had, All you had to say was "it will not fit your car". You knew this and did not tell me. Its ok saying I should have looked but even if I did I would not have known.

I aint about arguing by text mate better we sort this out face to face to be honest"

Hes coming back round tomorrow because he says "You will be getting the manifold back one way or another mate"

Surely im not the only person who thinks he is bang out of order and i havent done a bloody thing wrong!?!?!?!

How can you possibly argue about a refund on something you clearly inspected and held in your own hands before handing over the money for the item and still not even asking a single question about it

Needless to say he wont be getting his refund like hes expecting!
