Its an NZXT Hue+, so basically a fancy RGB light controller. Its notoriously a gigantic PITA to get working, it took me a couple days of troubleshooting to get it started. So, the guy clearly didn't read up on the thing, and he clearly didn't put the time in to figure it out.

I had this happen recently with a Volvo window register I sold. We had purchased it for SonHawk's '98 Volvo, but the car was totaled before we could install it. The part had been bench tested by both the salvage yard and later by me, so I knew it worked.
Buyer claimed that after spending money to have it installed it was determined to be non-functional and wanted a refund. My ad clearly said it was used/bench tested but sold with no warranty and no return if installed, but I said if the buyer would return it I would refund their money. eBay sided with the buyer, but did say they had to ship it back, at my cost. Buyer never shipped it back, so eBay closed the case.

It kinda pissed me off to see that "are you in a hurry? Just refund the buyer without him needing to ship it back" like are you kidding me? That's ridiculous.
I'm hoping I don't need to cover return shipping, since this was a private sale and PayPal was just the payment method.
In any case, between this transaction, and another transaction that involved shipping (which admittedly had a better outcome) but I'm done shipping. Everything will be done in person in the future, and tested if practical in person so that buyers can't pull this shit.
I'd have a bit more faith in the guy if he didn't damage the monitor's screen, but at this point I think he's just trying to get out of paying for things.
