Hello everyone.
I am in a sticky situation and need all the input I could get.
I recently bought a pair of used and discontinued speakers from a member of this forum. The speakers were shipped via Fedex ground insured a bit more than the actual paid price.
When I got home from work I could tell that one of the speakers was damaged by the look of the box the they were shipped in. Please note that these speakers weight more than 65 lbs each and they were single boxed.
Hoping for the best I went a head and opened them up for inspection. Sure enough one speaker was badly damaged.
I then tried to contact the seller, he told me to let Fedex pickup the damaged speaker and they will pay me for the insured amount.
This is where the problem comes in: if I was to let Fedex pickup the damaged speaker that would leave me just the one speaker. It's totally useless to me and most other just to have a single speaker. Of course Fedex won't pay for both since only one was damaged. Not only that, the seller try to blame me to not refusing the speakers when they were delivered by Fedex.
On top of that when I tried to explain to the selle that I am not getting what I paid for and I didn't pay for a single speaker and some money from Fedex, the seller said this is a private sale and he hold no resposible for what happened. He also said that because he sold the speakers for cheap, this is what I have to live with.
Please let me know what you think and what I should do.
Sorry for making such a big deal out of this but I hate the fact that the seller was blaming me like it was my fault.
Thanks for listening.
