I have some questions regarding a purchase of a used PS3 and was wondering if anyone knew how to find the correct California Law regarding used items or if any lawyers here had advice on how to proceed.
My husband bought a PS3 for cash online that was said to work perfectly. The seller tells my husband that she wiped the system clean and it should be good to go. Well it didn't work and has a disc read error, Sony says we have to send it in. The Seller says it is still under warranty but doesn't have a receipt for it. She (the Seller) is suggesting we try and commit fraud by sending in a bank statement that shows a large purchase from Best Buy (but no item listing). We are obviously not going to do that.
The question I have is since she said the system worked perfectly, and it hasn't, can I legally go after her for the return of the money? We didn't wait to contact her about the issue, we wrote her the day we found out. And I don't think she is trying to steal money, but she says she wont give it back because it worked perfectly the last time she used it (but then wiped the system clean so who knows what happened).
