Well, not a good idea to air this out in the forum as your first post...buyer beware...hope you both can come to an acceptable resolution.

Contact the site owner privately.

But in a person-to-person sale, if you didn't indicate to the seller that you wanted your mandolin doctor's input before making your final decision, I say the seller's within his rights here.

Just to be clear, this was not a Cafe transaction, and clearly in violation of our Forum Posting Guidelines:

- Using the forum to malign or leverage personal advantage in a conflict is strictly forbidden. Though intent or motivation are not always provable, the moderators reserve full right in deeming whether or not comments made are consistent with policy, and may take action to edit, delete, or when necessary, revoke posting privileges.

I'm in contact with the individual privately which is the way this should have unfolded in the first place.
