I get it. But you would think a decent human being would realize that I got screwed over in this and agree to return the money for the machine. It's not like this guy was just found on a craigslist add. I don't personally know the guy, but he was an acquaintance of someone I knew. Felt there would be a level of trust there, but that's where I messed up I guess.

I don’t think that at all. You took a risk. It didn’t pay off. Life lesson learned. Next time don’t buy something that can’t start, no matter who goes and looks at it.

He knew he was fricking you and he got what he wanted. That was his plan to dump it off on a sucker.

What does he owe you? He told you what he thought because of what he was told. Regardless you knew it wasn’t running for whatever reason AND you sent someone with knowledge to check it out. All of the fault lies on your side of the table. 100%.
