Craigslist transaction went south...


Hello,
Hope everyone is doing great. I have a situation here and I am hoping you guys can help. 
I have sold a home theater receiver to someone. We met at gas station and everything went fine. It happend on Sep 4th.  Today (Sep 15th)  i got a text from the same guy saying he just installed and the receiver is not working. He is going to take legal action against me. it was working receiver and i never had any problems with it. I don't know what to do now. . I am legal immigrant and working on visa.  Please advise.
Here is my ebay profile:  https://www.ebay.com/usr/manizthegreat

Hey you bought the receiver on September 4th.
It has been more than 10 days. Now you are
telling me that there is no sound output. Go
ahead and take a legal action. I would be glad
to face it


It sounds as if you are looking forward to some legal action.

Beware Craigslist, many scams. One scam is to replace a non-working unit with a properly working unit.

Say I own a Abracadabra Model ABC123, and it has stopped working. Then I scan the ads looking for another Abracadabra Model ABC123.
When I find one, I buy it. Then try to con my old one off as a broken one, and get my money back. Now my unit is working again, and it didn't cost me anything.

I've never done this, but I have heard this story many times, usually from Craigslist. Seller Beware.
