BOWW DOWN AUDIOSOUND - Bought a used stereo did not work then tried a second one that did not work no refunds after cash changed hands

I wanted a used CD player for my car so I stopped at this Car Audio store called "BOWW DOWN" audio in Costa Mesa off of Harbor Blvd and Victoria Street...
I get there and ask to see a AM/FM CD player from a stack of used car stereos... I ask him how much for that Sony deck?" and he says $80.00 and I told him that I did not have that much money so I started to leave and he goes "Well, Have much do you have?" and I said $40.00 then he goes "Do you have $50.00" and I thought what is $10.00 more?

I gave him $50.00 for this Aiwa AM/FM CD stereo and with a screwdriver I take apart my dash and remove my stock stereo (I have experience with installation of car stereos from prior purchases) I wire the stereo up and turn the key on and "nothing lights up" on the Aiwa unit... I went back up to him and it was like he never seen me in his life. He says "give me a min" as he was spinning another customers stereo control knob. I walk back up in the store and he meets me in there and I tell him that the stereo has no life in it. He says try another one. Try the Audio Acoustics (NOT WORTH $50.00 NEW!) CD stereo so I tried it and same problem... JUNK! I ask him for my money back? He said nope. So I said why not? He said "read the fine print on receipt" This was like 15-20 min after I bought the stereo and now "NO REFUND" Thank God I did not drive off and return later with a complaint because most likely he would of said something like I broke or blown out the all ready broken junk used stereo... He offered me store credit for $50.00 and I said "I can't have my money back"? Take in mind that he had no other used car stereo that was $50.00.. The others were $60.00 and $80.00..

I ended up with these 6.5" Rockwood USA speakers (Brand New) for the $50.00 store credit because I felt that after I left and came back at a later date that my store credit would not be honered. These 6.5" speakers are not worth $50.00.. Try $30.00 brand new, at the most. Be careful with this place. You may end up with a written on original receipt of "store credit" instead of a cash refund after your money changes hands
