Here in the UK the general rule when anything is sold privately is that
whilst the buyer takes the risk as to whether what they buy is OK at the
same timmew the seller must not misrepresent the item. As a result of this
my first question when buying anything secondhand is 'what's wrong with it'
as this then places the onus on the seller to describe any faults
truthfully. Provided that the answer is satisfactory, even if faults are
declared, I will still buy.
