Mix up with the pick up

I bought some golf balls from a seller - went for the basic 99p
Bought two lots one known make and one mixed went to pick them up, was given one lot in a plastic bag not see through so I couldnt tell what type they were, and another lot which I saw had an orange balls in so thought they were one of my batchs as one was all white and one had an orange ball in.
Got them home, I havent got the decent bag of one make, have the mixed bag I bought and someone elses balls.
Seller sold other lots of balls but from what I can tell not the lot that I got given, the ones he said were someone elses were dirty and cracked and fit for the bin. Not bothered about getting my missing balls or the pound back but seller wants to come and collect, which is really a pain in the but as Im at work and dont really want strange men coming to the house at night.
Also this is 20 miles drive to my house so the seller would have to make a forty mile journey to my house, he sold the other sets for less than a pound more than mine.
He may not want to let the other seller down but I cant be bothered with the hassle of having someone over for a bag of dirty old balls that cant be used. I cant beieve they are the ones that he sold to the other buyers as they dont match ones he sold.
What is the best thing to do?

For something worth £1 I would arrange to leave it outside under the recycling box (so long as it isn't a recycling day).But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Or tell him to give the decent balls that you should have got to the other buyer:j30/7/10:j

Quite amusing, sorry!
I would also state to the seller 'sure come anytime this week they will be outside my front door for you' then stick them outside in the same bag. You needed worry about it again-as sounds like they are being a pain.
I wouldn't give them any other option, after all they are the ones that messed up.0 -
Well he says he can come and get them if it's close and he will bring the balls I bought as its his fault. He sold the other balls two weeks ago on ebayNeeding to lose weight start date 26 December 2011 current loss 60 pound Down. Lots more to go to get into my size 6 jeans0
