Being threatened to sue for refusing to accept return for a local private party sale.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Dear members!

I sold a camera lens to a guy who contacted me through my Craigs. ad last week.
Here is what happened:

1) After talking several times through emails, I went to his working place to show the lens.
2) I disclosed that the lens squeaks when focusing, but it disappears after a couple of minutes of use.
3) He thoroughly examined it and tried it on his camera at least for 10 minutes.
4) He was aware of the squeak issue with the lens before meeting me.
5) I offered 100$ off from my firm asking price.
6) He agreed with the final price and told me that $100 off would cover the cost if he would send it to a camera shop for lubricating it.
7) Both of us were agreed that the deal was fair to both.
8) Both of us went home happily.
9) A couple of days later, he wanted to return it, claiming that I had said that I would accept return for any reason within 30 days, which I never said so.
10) Upon my refusal of return, he began to threaten to sue me.
11) No written warranty or anything like that was given to him.

So, in this case, do I need to worry about this threat?

Thank you so much in advance for your helps.

I don't see him winning a case .... he still may sue though. Good luck.

Tell the guy to pound sand. Then ignore him. If he sues, defend yourself.

Then, any contracts need to be in writing and signed by the party to be charged.

Since he is trying to enforce the provision on you, he needs to have a written contract (goods over $500) with the provisions signed by you to successfully take you to court. That won't protect you if there was fraud involved or other issue, but for a basic breach of contract, you're golden.
