Chris,
You said the buyer advised of the damage and has only now asked for refund.
Was this two separate communications?
How did the sale come about? Did your son advertise? I assume this was not
an e-bay transaction. Was there a written contract of sale? How was it paid
for? Was there an exchange of e-mails which could be included in the
missives of negotiating the contract?
Don't think these cases are clear cut however the delay in advising your son
that the goods were damaged is in my view unreasonably long. Is the cost to
put right the damage within the £150 limit, in which case it may be simplest
to get a claim in and put the damage right?
Dave
