If you told them the washer was AS IS, tell them to take a hike or sue you in small claims court. Others are right, you have nothing criminal and the buyer has no right to threaten you like that. If they persist, tell them you have retained an attorney, and that they must speak with him..
There is a latin phrase. Caveat Emptor . It means let the buyer beware . Which in turn means he should have made certain he was happy with the item before he purchased it. Unless you deliberately misled him, he has no complaint to make. Dissatisfaction with what he has bought is his problem, not yours. The Sale of Goods Act only covers traders. If you are a trader (running a recognised retail business) you have to ensure that the goods are of merchantable quality or fit for purpose.As a private seller you have no such obligation. Tell him politely that you sold it to him in good faith and that he is not entitled to any claim for any reason. Ignore all threats unless violence is mentioned. If it is you should be the person contacting the police. Try to ensure you have at least one witness with you if he visits. Phone calls can just be ignored.
tell them to bring it on. theres nothing they can do to you ,and the police certainly will not get involved in it. they have no rights as consumers buying second hand goods, you sold it in good faith and it worked to the best of your knowledge then thats good enough. there are no warrenty conditions, no returns so dont worry
call the police dept he works for, talk to his super, he is abusing his position. take the fight to him, they will back down
Surely they looked at it before taking home? Did you sell online? Either way if you described accurately they don t have a leg to stand on
