Hi guys
I recently sold a ps4 console off-site and im having some issues with the buyer.
I made sure that it was working 100% before even posting the PS4 on another site. I disclosed an issue it had with the fan - just a bit noisy, but there were no other issues, whatsoever.
After I personally made sure that the PS4 was working, I restored it to its factory settings (to protect all my information, etc & to give the guy a "fresh console".
The buyer (kinda dodgy looking) purchased the PS4 from me for cash - and it was a good deal for both parties.
When he came around to my residence - I showed him that it was working and everything was in order - I even gave him and extra controller that wasn't advertised with it (because the charging connection was intermittent and I didnt want to include it in the original ad for that reason).
3/4 days later, he contacts me (at 23h30) and says that the CD Drive isn't working at all. He also accuses me of scamming him, because the playstation was factory reset and he said he couldn't make sure that the CD drive was working properly.
I have a bad feeling that he is trying to scam me once the deal has gone through.
It all seems very odd to me that he's come back with an issue after I personally checked it multiple times before resetting it.
-Does anyone know if the serial number on the PS4 matches the one on the parts inside or anything like that?
-Is anyone aware of any scams that relate to this sort of thing? (Maybe like swapping out parts and then reporting that it doesn't work?) - That's kinda where I think this is going.
-If he brings it back to me and the stickers that cover the PS4 screws to open it are gone what are my options dealing with him?
-Kind of worried because he knows where I stay as well and like I mentioned previously, he doesn't seem like a savory person.
-Any general advice dealing with this person would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced
