Sometimes you have to learn the hard lessons to learn the easiest ones!
When he learns 2 important lessons from this experience, my job would be done.
Those 2 lessons are:
1) "Caviat emptor" or "you break it, you bought it"
2) take care of you stuff or be prepared to pay, pay, pay!!!
Wasn't that a lesson our parents taught us as kids?
The ever-popular response from them was "If you took care of your ______ then it wouldn't have gotten broken!"
Sorry you had to deal with someone that apparently doesn't appreciate the tools of the trade as well as you do!

I told him and he said he took the rod to 2 shops and they couldn't replace the tip, he was clearly a liar and just wanted to give the rod back. I guess I felt bad because I had a problem separating the rod, but I just left it together anyway so it didn't bother me. I told him what I thought of him and went my way.
You and Bob are right though, I'm way too nice. i should have told him to beat it, but i didn't and this is the stuff that happens to nice guys.
Tell you what though, Ill never sell another piece of gear to a NewB again.
