nobody wins in this scenario. you're going to take a hit no matter what happens. might be time to ask yourself what your time is worth. not to mention the grief you'll nurse along during the process AND after the resolution which you likely won't like.
unfortunate but true...

Yep. A fair question to ask me would what would I do if I were the buyer. What I would do is what I suggested. I would go get a real repair quote, in writing, from a local builder. I would give the seller the opportunity to provide all needed parts for the repair at their cost along with my labor costs and +/-$1000 "diminished value" as he puts it.
Both the request that he take it back for a refund or he find another C3 case to replace the marred one are unrealistic. Plus this C3 case is nowhere near worthless with the cosmetic damage.
I will reiterate what I have said before. Act like a pissed off dick at someone and they will respond dickishly. Being right doesn't matter when you abuse someone in your righteousness. Be a decent human being and you will usually have someone who is decent and reasonable in return. Flash a knife at a guy and he's going to put up a shield because he feels he needs to protect himself. It's the way the world works.
Life is too short for me to walk around pissed off all the time with raised blood pressure losing sleep, etc. I was really pissed when I got that engine years ago. Today I don't care and have even opened a wholesale account selling to the guy I got that engine from.
