Question on return policy

[pt7455]

Here is the issue cash deal no terms were discussed and 3 years have gone by. Not sure of what the law is In California where the transaction took place but assuming the time that has passed will be the issue???

In general, there is no legal requirement that a seller must accept returns, unless the contract between the parties allows for returns. There are exceptions to this general rule like automobile purchases, etc.

If the item you purchased is fake, you might consider a small claims case. In California, if there is a written contract for this transaction, the statute of limitations is 4 years. If this was merely an oral contract, then the statue of limitations is only 2 years.

If we are talking $10k or less, this is a small claims issue.

What was the card? Was it a big long time dealer? Have you made them aware of the problem and asked for a refund? Post a pic of the card and describe why it is bad. I am sure I am not the only curious(nosey) person.

Most people wouldn't take it back.

I do think if it's memorably expensive you have a chance.

The stamp/coin/card guy I hang out at in college took back a bad coin something like 10 years after selling it. He did remember the fairly regular customer, AND the coin. No reciept, but they both recalled the sale as being "about $x" so that's what got refunded on the spot. The altered coin went off to the smelter.

I might ask, expecting nothing.

Agree with Ben. If the seller is a regular dealer, and you are a regular customer, there is a chance seller will find a way to make right. But it might not be a cash return, it could be in store credit.

Doesnt hurt to ask in a respectful way..... I know if I sold or traded something to a person that turned out to be not as it was supposed to be, I would probably do something to make the other person more whole, whether that would be a refund full or partial or another card or item. Many people have honor.... but not all. And Ive found that some will try and use your own honor against you as a weapon of guilt..... all that said, be nice, be respectful.... youve nothing to lose at this point. You may be pleasantly surprised....
