I sold this woodburner that has 2 - 8" ducts coming from the top that was hooked into my furnace plenum. It was in my home when I bought it. I never had any problems with it. worked great. I had decided to sell it this past winter because I only had 1 cord left, and I couldn't cut any more wood b/c of back problems that are pretty bad.
Anyway's she called me up 2 weeks later saying I sold it to her and her boyfriend UNOPERABLE, and I knew this BEFORE I sold it to her. I had used it up to a week of her buying it, and 2 months non-stop before that,and every year since I bought the home. I told her this as well. I even vacuumed it out for her inside after we took out the firebricks.
She sent a certified mail explaining that it was like that when she bought it, and had 2 installers and 3 welders and told her it would cost 350 or more to fix it. She wanted 300 back to fix it or the 400 that I sold it to her for and I go over an hr. to pick it back up. I told her "I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT" she say's when she talked to me i said it had "NO CRACKS" which i did say this b/c she asked this. I never seen a crack or repaired it in anyways. They inspected and with her boyfriend did as well. I told her the age was unknown and it was here when I bought the house, which it said that in my ad. Craigslist ad to boot.
She said she's bringing her installer to testify as well in the letter. I sold it for 400 and she's suing for 1260$. I was mad and never responded to her phone call b/c the way she talked to me and said about taking me to court the first time i even talked to her. She did send pictures showing a 3-4" crack that was near some circular pipe hole that was plugged off in the lower middle of it, in the back, and she states "THIS COULD only be seen after the installer took it apart as per protocol",this was to the letter to the judge . I did send a letter back 4 weeks later telling her it was in working conditions and you inspected it yourself and bought it. I even have my power bills that show my electric doubled the month after she bought it. The avg. temps were exactly the same both months according to the power bill as well.
Does she have a case? we go this month to small claims court.
Sorry for confusing post, if any statements are unclear, please post and i'll answer them better.
