    With a rare/collectible CD, I find it pays to under-rate the condition, then nobody can be disappointed.

    I sold my own unwanted CDs (approx. 100) this way and had only 2 problems. Both buyers (Polish and Italian) were trying to claim the CDs were not in the condition described, so I just politely offered refunds on return. (I knew the descriptions were accuarate and guessed the buyers were just trying to get something for nothing).

    Unsurprisingly, neither wanted to return their CD - they just wanted it for free or heavily discounted. Having stood my ground and offered full refund, but only on return, they both gave up and presumably moved on to the next seller...

    I asked him to return the CD for a refund.

    I got an email saying he had sold it on and wasn't wanting a refund.
