I've just read this through and what a sorry story it is...
I think the overriding fact is that the amp delivered was not what the buyer ordered... The buyer ordered a newly built amp (as indicated in his email to the seller which stated "please
build and supply one integrated valve amplifier") however the buyer actually received a 'previously owned' amp and on that premise alone I believe the buyer has a right to a refund... never mind that it had a fault even though it turned out to just be bad valves
Even if I wanted another amp I definitely won't be bidding as I think the buyer should be refunded and return the amp to the seller...
Just my 2p worth of course
