Question Need some advice

I bought some pistons a month ago or so used from a member on here. Got them in and opened the box looked at a few and put them in the garage. Fats forward till a few days ago, come into a bind and decide to sell them. Buyer pays i ship he receives. After a few days he pm's me that two are cracked and from what has to be from a motor not freight damage. I am waiting on pics from the buyer and plan on doing the right thing. But however I contacted the guy that i bought them from and his response is they were fine when he shipped them and came out of his running motor. So should the guy i bought them from refund me my money or make it right?

Bill

I would have to say no man. Kind of on you. If he is a stand up guy he may refund you to keep his good name on here but for most of the sellers I would count on it.

the buyer also did the same thing i did at first got them said he got them everything is ok, A week later contacted me with this. I am in the process of buying him two new pistons. But i have asked the seller i got them from to pay for one. 82 bucks which i think is fair .

It's a iffy situation but I wouldn't refund someone who bought someone from me a month ago - who knows what could have happened.
