What is the name of your state? FLORIDA i recently sold a shotgun from an add i placed in the classified section of a gun site $400.00 to a buyer in Pennsylvania. The gun was in nice condition and i sent pictures of it to the buyer before he bought it and told him the gun was in very good condition and had not been fired in over 30 years but was maintained in my gun closet i told him i test fired it before i sent it to him to make sure it was in good working condition the gun was sent it to his ffl dealer in PA as the law required on shotguns i checked out his ffl license and it was valid
He called me the next day after he received it to tell me he wanted his money back and was sending it back as the gun had a 6 inch crack on the stock and also on the forearm of the gun and that the stock was very loose and it was not safe to fire. I did not send him the gun in that condition it seems to me he tried to dismantle the gun and separate the stock from the receiver to clean it and the bolts holding it might have been frozen after so long a time and he cracked the stock himself by putting to much pressure on it to free what recourse can he have besides suing me and what recourse do i have as far as legality.I asked him if the box was damaged as it was packed nicely with bubble packing and he said it was not i told him i would not accept it back in that condition hoping you can give me some legal advise as to what my options are and can he do anything legally if i refuse to take the gun back thanking you in advance CAPTAIN HARVEY

Well yes, he can sue you. Anybody can sue for just about anything.

He will have to prove that you sent him the damaged shotgun.

The good news is that you sent him pictures of the gun prior to the purchase. Do you have copies of those pictures? Do you have evidence of the dates you sent those pictures?
