He just told you what the Buyer Beware warning ment... When you buy things off someone who had only 2 itrader rating previously, and is dropping the price on an item rapidly, there might be something wrong with it.
Honestly I can see that you are fustrated, as many of us have been in the past. I do not blame you one bit. Sadly I do not know who this person is or I would help you, but I think taking your fustration on MRC is a bit overboard.

Caveat emptor
Under the doctrine of caveat emptor, the buyer could not recover from the seller for defects on the property that rendered the property unfit for ordinary purposes. The only exception was if the seller actively concealed latent defects. The modern trend in the US, however, is one of the Implied Warranty of Fitness that applies only to the sale of new residential housing by a builder-seller and the rule of Caveat Emptor applies to all other sale situations (i.e. homeowner to buyer).(See Stambovsky v. Ackley, 572 N.Y.S.2d 672 (N.Y. App. 1991)) Many other jurisdictions have provisions similar to this.
Before statutory law, the buyer had no warranty of the quality of goods. In many jurisdictions, the law now requires that goods must be of "merchantable quality". However, this implied warranty can be difficult to enforce, and may not apply to all products. Hence, buyers are still advised to be cautious.
In addition to the quality of the merchandise, this phrase also applies to the return policy. In most jurisdictions, there is no legal requirement for the vendor to provide a refund or exchange. In many cases, the vendor will not provide a refund but will provide a credit. In the case of software, movies and other copyrighted material many vendors will only do a direct exchange for another copy of the exact same title. Most stores require proof of purchase and impose time limits on exchanges or refunds. However, some larger chain stores will do exchanges or refunds at any time with or without proof of purchase- although they usually require a form of picture ID and place quantity or dollar limitations on such returns.
Laidlaw v. Organ, a decision written in 1817 by Chief Justice John Marshall, is believed by scholars to have been the first U.S. Supreme Court case which laid down the rule of caveat emptor in U.S. law.
In the UK, consumer law has moved away from the caveat emptor model, with laws passed that have enhanced consumer rights and allow greater leeway to return goods that do not meet legal standards of acceptance (Trader's Guide to Civil Law. Trading Standards. Retrieved on 2007-11-29.) Many companies operating in the UK will allow customers to return goods within a specified period for a full refund, even if there is no problem with the product.
Appology accepted..

On the other hand I can, to some degree, understand that college kids are pretty busy, but I personally would have written myself a big friggin post-it note to make sending the money my first priority. Everyone's different.

How did you pay for the item originally?
Buyer beware notwithstanding, this is supposed to be a community of like minded, responsible people, not a bunch of guys trying to get over on one another. I also don't think posting a "caveat emptor" description is in very good taste either. Whether the seller knew, or didn't know about the defects is not even at issue now.
I don't fault you for making the thread at all

Welcome to the internet. People get ****ed over all the time. He's lucky it was only $50. I don't disagree its shitty on the sellers part to sell damaged merchandise, especially not making the buyer aware and its shitty how he backed off from offering to pay half for the repair. If $50 really meant that much to him, he would've been more cautious buying it in the first place.

But as his dad will tell him
there is no defamation/libel or slander here per se, in part because the allegations are made as a result of fact, not as a result of opinion. What's more, it would be construed by a court to be what's called a "fair comment". Man, I can't believe I remember this stuff still lolololololol
I was a law school geek lololol

The wheels are sold already so you can write whatever you want on it, and the quad is being sold locally. All you guys need to get a life, and on top of that, thanks Ethan for showing me how many of you clowns drive 350z's...
