Now after handover midway between us, the buyer on getting it home and examining it with a LED torch (and magnifying glass?) claims to have found a few small spots of fungal growth on the second element (?) and wants to reject it.
Previously he had complained about the Feather Touch focuser (now withdrawn) and then about the dewshield retaining screw not working.
The same scope but with a 3.5in focuser rather than a 2in Feather Touch now sells for about £6500 as opposed to the £2200 he paid. There were some cosmetic markings on the carbon fibre tube and alloy parts of which I supplied photos and he accepted.

Just to be clear, several respondants have stated that the buyer inspected the scope at handover but I cannot see a reference to this in your post? From what I can see he asked you to inspect it and then he inspected it after he got it home, is that correct?
