"A follow-up on my situation:
There is some very good advice here, and I hope others find this useful. I will definitely follow this advice for the future.
On communicating with the buyer, I don't think he is scamming me, but I could be wrong. He said he was traveling in response to why the package was not opened for 11 days.
I asked him to clarify if the power unit is not working (is there a light up front, is the power button engaged?). I also asked him to send me a picture of the box, although he did not say the box had any damage. I believe that the tweeter was probably damaged by him, since I was very careful with this.
He says that the box used was too small. There was a good cushion, and they were packed tightly--no movement. I'm thinking that the box was probably dropped and that there was a jarring. I'm not sure if the original box would have made a difference.
The money doesn't mean that much to me. I'd almost just have paid him the money just to save myself the time. But, at least I'm learning for the future.
I offered to pay for the cost of damage to the speaker for repair. I'm also thinking of just paying him half of the $144 that he paid for the speakers. He would then have to send the speaker to MAudio for repair. It would be a waste to ship both speakers across country for $33 again, when the damaged speaker was only bought for $72. $72 is really nothing--it's just the principle. I'll probably just cough up that money and call it a day.
