Bought Used Camera Gear, Now Store Says I "stole" Part Of It, Can They Really Charge Me?
Location: Ohio, USA
About two weeks ago I bought a used mirrorless camera kit from a local camera store that sells consignment gear. It was a body, two lenses and a bag, all tagged as one bundle with a single price on the shelf. I paid with my debit card, left with the gear, have the itemized receipt that just says something like "used camera kit" and the total amount. Yesterday the store manager called me saying there was a mistake, that one of the lenses in the bag was not supposed to be part of the bundle and was actually on consignment separately. He says the consignor is angry and that I either need to bring that lens back or pay an additional 350 dollars for it. I told him I bought what was on the shelf, at the price on the tag, and that I have the receipt. He then got kind of pushy and said if I dont "make this right" they can report it as theft because I am "knowingly keeping merchandise that was not paid for." I am freaking out a bit because I have never been in trouble and I work in a field where any theft charge would basically ruin my job prospects. Can they really go to the police over this when I bought it in good faith and the receipt shows a single kit price. Do I have any legal obligation to return part of what I bought or pay more now because they messed up their pricing. If they did call the police, what should I realistically expect to happen here.
