I sold some boxes of Dutch Quality Stone on Craigslist. I have 3 1/2 boxes. I paid $88 per box, and listed the boxes for $190. I had asked my cousin who did the work with the stone how many square feet a box covered. He thought you could get 40 square feet out of one. A man called me and said he needed to build around a wood burning stove, but did not need 120 feet. He asked if I would come down on the price, because he did not want to have to pay for what he would not use. I wanted to get rid of the boxes, so I agreed to $140. Then he called me and said he did not realize he needed to use mortar and mesh, could I come down further. I agreed and we agreed on $125. We agree on a time for pickup, he comes, inspects each box, hands me the money and loads it up and leaves. I have a witness to this because I never meet with someone from Craigslist alone.
About 45 minutes later he calls irate because he says there is not 40 square feet per box. I am honestly surprised - I'm a woman - I did dot the work myself, and it had been three years earlier. So there is only about 44 square feet. However, he is building a "fireplace" box around a wood stove. He is angry and keeps saying "I paid for 120 square feet". This puzzled me at his anger, while I apologized for making a mistake, I was surprised because he had said he didn't want the extra in the first place, and got me to come down in price to compensate him for taking it all.
He wants to return the stone. Now I have figured that he was the one who was scamming me - a women - whom he figured had no idea (and I didn't). He was getting the stone at a great price, and would have extra to sell or do something with.
Am I obliged to let him return the stone?
