I will keep an eagle eye out for any goods you have for sale, because i would like for you to also pay to upgrade to factory fresh any aging components i point out and demand you to replace, JUST AS I AM BEING ASKED TO DO>

Not sure who you are responding to, but I wouldn't expect you to repair the caps, didn't see anyone else suggest it either. But if two aren't working, and one has broken binding posts, you owe him a full refund.

Don't keep an eye out for any goods I have for sale. I wouldn't do business with you as a buyer, or seller.

I have some thick (2'' i believe) styrofoam that i put over the inputs (after they have been wrapped a few times) this way any force will contact those before they contact the binding posts. When i packed my first amp a few years ago i did an amazing packing job but just did not put enough care into the binding posts and they arrived damaged. Thankful for insurance on that one although that is always a pain to go through.

I don't think so. The buyer always pays shipping, one way or another. Whether it's included in the price or charged separately. It's up to the seller to make sure it's packed right, and arrives in good condition. I would never trust anyone else to pack something I'm selling.



Probably the easiest solution. May even get the shipping company to refund shipping costs, since they packed it.

In this case the seller offered pick up only and the buyer then essentially persuaded and authorized him to find shipping on his behalf. I know this isn't a court of law, but in this specific situation the case could be documented to show the buyer is responsible at the outbound shipping point if we were in court.
