I guess I'm just not comunicating well here. First, He could be
lying? Or the seller could be just stupid. Any words
used in the text without definate meaning are worthless. For example:
When a seller says "small scratch" YOU MAY AS WELL FORGET ANY THING THEY
say. Small to you is not the same as small to them. Now if they
would say a 1 " scratch, I will continue reading. Most sellers are
clueless.
As for relisting, My bet is that the buyer shows up and says
forget it, because this is not what he was lead to believe.
There was a lady here maybe a year ago, that stated "all
mechanical things replaced" needless to say I gave her hell, witch
she rightfully deserved.
