No help, just want to wish you the best of luck in not getting screwed over and having to refund.

Do not know how he’d get screwed when he was wrong.

Yeah, I'd give the guy a refund as well.

and it is a 1986 factory set - definitely on you to issue a refund. I would try to confirm the information Glyn has provided.

You sold a 1985 set. The buyer received a 1986 set. Reverse the roles - why should Buyer be made to pay for something he did not "buy"? I think in this case, buyer should get a full refund.

Assuming you get you set back and relist it, the good news is (aside from postage) you are only out the difference in value between a sealed and unsealed 1986 set, which is a terrible year (certainly not as valuable as 1985)and so you are probably talking peanuts

Copyright date is 1985 because often factory sets were produced first and were available in Sears and/or JC Penny Christmas catalogs. That is 100% a 1986 set, and there's lots of people selling them incorrectly on ebay.

Trusting other sellers isn't really the best way to research something and trusting copyright, trademark and patent dates is also dangerous. All of those things can help narrow something down, but I wouldn't trust any of them to pinpoint something.

Did someone sell it to you as a 1985 set? If so you can send the mistake on up the chain for redress, but I've made mistakes smaller than this and issued refunds.

I know it sucks to lose a $200 sale and get a $5 item back, but sometimes you have to swallow hard and do the right thing.

PS. Your Glavine Tiffany RC is awesome. Every one I've ever had is centered 60/40.

This is what the 1985 factory sets look like

I've seen several boxes that look exactly like the one I've sold that were sold as an 85. It's not just one random listing

If I screwed up, I will refund it. Thanks!

If he screwed up he should refund.

If it is a 86 set why does it have a 1985 copyright date, I am asking because I don't know.

I didn't either obviously!
