I've been sitting back and watching this topic and here's my opinion: I think the buyer had second thoughts about paying what he paid for this freewheel and is now trying to find a way out of the deal. Clearly, he's not a long time eBay buyer based on the 4 feebacks he has, and he just got in over his head. I agree he ought to send the goods back at his own expense and the seller should then decide if a full refund is warranted, or a portion thereof, based on any marks or damage caused by installing, removing and/or disassembling the freewheel. If the NOS status of the item has been compromised, the value would be diminished accordingly. The buyer should be informed of these conditions beforehand so he can make up his own mind whether to ship it back and still only get reimbursed for a fraction of what he paid.
