Recently sold an airconditiner on a sell and swap site and now the buyer is claiming it doesn t work and they want their money back.?

I sold my air conditioner because I now have central air. I hadn't used it in about a year but before I listed it on the sell and swap site i plugged it in and it seemed to be working fine. Screen was light up allowing you to set the temp and it was blowing out cool air. I delivered it to the woman was paid $100 and I left. She now keeps messaging me saying it doesn't work and if I don't give her back her money she's going to call the police. I'm very upset because I tried it and It was working. I offered to give her money back to her to avoid confrontation and she hasn't responded to me since. Do I have to give her back her money?

    And you'll likely end up with an a/c that's the same model; not yours but broken. You are not responsible for it after 3ft or 3 seconds after money is exchanged. Nor do you know how it was handled/plugged in nor used after purchase.

    You do not have to anything but inform her to shut the H3ll up and stop bothering you.

    The police won't care. There was no crime committed.

    Unless otherwise stated IN WRITING, all sales are AS IS.

    Even if there were a warranty, the police WILL inform her it is a civil issue, and they CAN't do anything.

    99% of people that tell you they will call the police would't file a police report if you DROVE them to the police station.

    Tell her if she contacts you again, she won't have to sue you, because you will sue her for harassment. I predict you won't be able to FIND her after that.

    No, tell her to phone the police and when the police come say you suspect she dropped it.
