It has bad sectors why did you sell him a drive with bad sectors? You did check it before selling it to him right?
Your the one in the wrong.
And you're qualified to say so as you clearly read the OP.

i would not waste 5minutes even thinking over this situation.
I would tell him to come get his money, give it back to him and end of story.
Some people are muppets, and its even worse when they are skint/tight buggers because there dumb sense gets mixed with their feelings of money.
Exactly just bin old Hdd or stick them in a box forever....
I will never buy 2nd hand HDDs for this very reason. One bad knock in transit and they could be buggered.

So let me get this straight. Someone paid real money for a 160GB IDE drive... and we're two days away from 2012, right?

The guy was driving an audi a4 fairly new and paid £20 for it, it may have been for a customer of his I dunno, still pretty sad as im sure the drive would have lived on past its date of final use.
how much did he pay?
£20, lol...
I would not want a drive with any bad sectors... sounds reasonable to want a refund
Difference being is a scratch on a car is just cosmetic and can be easily fixed with some polishing, a drive with bad sectors could well be showing the first signs of an impending failure of the drive so it's understandable he'd not want to risk it, especially if he can genuinely only afford a second hand 160GB drive. It's not the loss of 32kb worth of space he's complaining about.

This is why things like this go in the bin, rather than having the annoyance of people with no money trying to buy things and being awkward about it.
