RJ:I thought it had cleared. I guess I goofed.
Buyer is out of state. I may not have made that part clear. I plan to see my District Attorney about this Monday.
I've had no word about the merchandise. It may be in transit to me. I did not approve a return.
I have no way of proving this, but I am certain the guy found the same thing from a buddy for $500 and then wants me to have to eat the deal I made with him. A deal is a deal. The product is not faulty.
To describe a little, the part has a female taper, and it fits onto a male taper spindle. He said what the measurement is at the taper's opening, because when he called me with the "problem," I got him to measure it, but not with a micrometer, just to make sure. That opening is 3.5" or so. Now, get this---he tells me it "takes up tight on the taper 1 1/2" higher than it should" Just for info I did not make this part, it's just something used I had.
Well, he also said it's tight against the spindle at the 3.5" diameter point(its opening's size). Now we're machinists here, so think of it like this: Drop a ring onto a cone, and it'll stop where its diameter is met by that point on the cone's diameter, and that won't happen 1.5" above that diameter, will it? I've even seen rubber o-ring ID widgets that work on this principal. No doubt others have too. That's when I knew he was lying about it not fitting the taper. It's a bogus story. It's a pretty steep taper, and 1 1/2" above the place it should take up is WAY smaller than where its opening is.
Thanks for the pointers.
