I Mounted A Misdelivered Tv. Need Advice On How To Proceed.

Card image cap

Location: Utah

​I ordered a 65-inch OLED TV from an eBay seller last week, but when the logistics company showed up, they delivered a bigger-sized OLED instead. It’s worth about double what I actually paid. Since I thought it was my order at first, I went ahead and paid to have it mounted and had them recycle the box. The eBay tracking officially said "delivered," so on paper, the transaction looked finished.

​However, a week later, the logistics company called and left a message saying their dock workers messed up and they need to come pick up the TV because they still have my actual TV sitting at the warehouse. I called back immediately and told them I'm happy to cooperate, but that the TV is already mounted and that I no longer have the packaging it came with. The rep told me a supervisor will call me back, and that's where I'm at currently.

Any advice on what's the best way to go about this situation?

Edit: To clarify, the logistics company did not offer and does not offer installation services as far as I'm aware. I paid $150 dollars to some friends of a friend for it to be installed.
