No reputable dealer or reseller would do any different. The buyer should have used an escrow service in order to protect himself. As much as we trust one another it is a good policy to establish terms of purchase beforehand. An escrow service would have avoided all the chagrin. If the seller refuses to accommodate a customer for such a large expenditure, then look elsewhere. The police will not get involved as it is a civil matter. The dealer delivered the goods. If the goods are flawed, that is a matter to be ascertained and argued. If there is a legitimate claim then the buyer's only recourse is suing the seller. Small claims court would not be the venue as the amount in question is higher than most courts will allow. Lets hear from Louis Nizers on the LUG on these points.
