upscale audio is this legal?

Maybe I'm wrong but wanted to get the communities thoughts. A good friend of mine bought a Cary amp from upscale audio it was supposed to be a v12 i. That was a year and a half ago recently he was going to sell it and was looking at the receipt from them and the serial numbers dont match at all!! totally different amp not even a i series. well he called them and they told him there was nothing they would do. I have never checked the serial number on anything I have bought but will from now on.My friend assumed he was getting what he paid for but did not! You would think they knew somewhere along the line they sold him the wrong amp . anyway whats your thoughts.

This seems to be linked to another, related thread. The real question is if the serial number was so important as part of the sale, why was this not verified and brought to the dealer's attention immediately upon receipt of the item? It's lame on the part of the buyer to not be diligent and then expect a year and a half later that any remedy with regard to this clerical matter is warranted,

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! BE DILIGENT!!! ALWAYS!!!!! AMEN

If he paid for something other than what he received and it's verifiable, he has a legitimate position. The law protects you from your own stupidity. If what he received is of lesser value than what he paid for, then a note to the dealer from his lawyer or a summons to small claims court would quell the tension fairly quickly, I suppose.

What if they DID send the right amp and this is a scam? Unlikely maybe, but still. And I'd like to know why "Ebm" is so adamant. And I'd like to know where the Fedex truck is with the delivery I'm waiting for...unrelated, but I stuck it in here anyway.

"Verifiable" is the operative here. DHL is the way to go. Delivery is unbelievably fast. They have the second largest airline fleet in the world. But I'm referring to ground shipment.
BTW, Ebm is yanking your chain. You should know by now.

C'mon man, three threads on the same subject, and this one's story is completely different than "What would you do?"

If you want to trash Upscale Audio that's up to you, but one post should be fine. BTW, I've never dealt with them, but many say they're a fine and reputable dealer.

My thoughts are maybe you should stop whining and posting multiple threads on the same subject (or at least keep your story straight).
