After receiving the box the owner of the business called and said the shop that was inspecting the box for him called and said the box had major internal damage and he wanted to renegotiate the price. I called BS and reminded him that the box came out of my own personal car and i had built the box myself years earlier.
I suggested he go look at the box in person and I requested detailed pics and contact info of the shop so i could talk directly with the mechanic doing the inspection and was told he would go look at it personally and get back to me. I was not surprised when i never heard back from him.
I felt from the beginning that it was the shop inspecting the box trying to pull a fast one and not the purchaser but i never found out what the true story was. I would be asking for detailed pics and would try to speak with the tech doing the inspection and if the box is really in that bad of shape would either refund the money or possibly try to renegotiate the price.
As Matt has pointed out there is good value in many of the parts so hopefully you don't lose to much on the monetary side to retain and protect your name, reputation, and standing in the community. The OP situation is just another lesson to us all to either know what you are selling or make damn sure the buyer knows they are buying as is.
