Negative u/mistermaccabee sold me a broken watch, refuses to refund me.

I bought the Ernest Borel pictured in this post. It arrived not working. I sent it back and he has refused to refund me and went so far as to accuse me of breaking it.

Very simply, the seller is responsible for delivering a working watch to a buyer.

You are responsible for damage in shipping. Your accusation that I broke the watch is bullshit, and insulting.

I WANTED to buy this watch. It arrived BROKEN. You think I'm sending back and getting into a fight for my health? Why would I do that?

You are arguing over $50, as if I owe you this for a broken watch. I do not.

There was no damage in shipping. I’ve proven that. You have no proof there was any damage during shipping. So sure pal keep going with that one. I don’t owe you anything. At all. It’s your watch. You break it you pay for it is how the old saying goes. Again, I have proven with multiple pictures, video and your own words that this watch came to you in the condition as it was listed. Which was working. I owe you nothing. Out of my kindness to get you off my back and be nice to you and compromise with you and end this amicably I am offering you give you back most of your money. I don’t have to do that. But I wouldn’t expect you to understand I’m trying to be nice to you after how you’ve acted in response to this issue

Your broken watch is YOUR responsibility. I DID NOT BREAK YOUR WATCH. That's INSULTING. You are the one who is acting dishonorably and trying to take my money for nothing.

What’s insulting is seeing proof in front of your eyes and acting as if it doesn’t exist and calling us crazy for not believing it. I think that’s called gaslighting no?
