Hi, I am in Texas, and I purchased a used mountain bike off of craigslist 2 days ago. I did not notice until I got home that the wheels he had on the bike were different than the ones listed in the ad. The difference in price for the two wheelsets is nearly $500, and was a major factor in my decision to buy the bike. When I asked him about the wheels, he said he traded them for the set that is on the bike now, and that he already spent the money. He refuses to even consider some kind of compensation. I did not meet with the guy at his house so I do not have his address, and I can not remember his last name. I have been looking into doing a reverse phone lookup, but I am not sure how accurate they are, or which service to use...Any recommendations? I do have a copy of the craigslist ad and all the text messages in which he admits he posted the wrong wheels. Am I just going to be SOL here, or do I have any recourse?
Is my initial inspection mistake going to leave me with no recourse?
Thanks for your help,
Brent
