Long story short, I sold 2 of my PS4 consoles this week on a local selling app here in the UK. One was without a HDD and the other was fine. Seller came and bought with cash, no issues there, he didn't even want to see them working nor did I offer.
A few hours later he then messages me to tell me that neither are working, which I found odd as I tested both that morning and were fine. So I thought whatever, come back and get a refund, I wouldn't be in for a few days anyway so we could arrange it then.
A few days pass and he doesn't message me at all, the date passes and a no show. So I thought maybe something came up or whatever, I then started to think, "What if he's just changed the serial numbers or something? Or is this a scam?" So I messaged back saying that as it's been a few days/over a week, I'm rescinding the Refund offer as I could not guarantee that the consoles would be returned in the same condition and that they hadn't even messaged me since then.
He then started messaging me stuff like "Well I'm coming on Sunday and I will be getting my money back one way or another" and similar threats like that, I reported him to the app with screenshots and politely informed him that I can always just get the Police involved if he wants to make threats and finally if he shows up to my house on Sunday I will call them. I then checked his reviews on the app and saw a few others had issues with him over selling consoles and then him threatening to put windows through or getting offensive when questioned. My only worry is of course he shows up on Sunday with friends and I'm only here with my kids atm.
So anyone else dealt with this kinda thing?
Edit: I should add that I only sold them for £150/$175 for both, so it's not even alot of money
