I bought the last 25 of a particular figure a seller was offering. After I placed
the order, the seller told me he only had 10 remaining and adjusted the price.
When I received the order, it included all 25 figures. I thought he must have
realized he had them all and included the rest as a goodwill gesture. My order
total was $900.
Now, 2 and half months later, he contacted me to tell me he put the additional
figures in the package by accident and would like me to pay for them.

I don't feel it's right to keep something I didn't pay for.
I personally either pay for them, or ask this seller a return label to return
the extra 15 figures.

It is up to you. You bought and paid for 25 but he refunded you for 15 of them,
then sent all 25, is that right?
The honourable thing to do would be to pay the original advertised price for
the extra 15. Alternatively you could ask him to pay for return shipping of the
15 (possibly now used) figures, especially if you might have bought the extras
elsewhere when you thought you were only getting 10.
I wonder why he didn't want to sell all of them when he actually had them?
Was it a good price or a good item that attracts orders so he might of wanted
to hold some back? If sellers want to limit sales then they shouldn't list
it all at once.

If you want them, you should really pay for them. If you don't want them,
ask the seller to pay for return postage and send them back.

You don't have to pay anything, legally.
Personally, I think I would try to work out a fair price for the additional 15
(assuming they're no longer in a condition to be sent back ... heck, maybe
you don't even have them any more).

What was the value of the minifigs you received you didn't pay for? $5-10
is a goodwill gesture. $50-500 is not.

Pay for them or return them. Swap shoes, what would you want done if you were
in their place?
If I were the seller, I would recognize it as my mistake and let the buyer keep
them. But the seller isn't wrong to ask for payment either. They should
provide postage to return them if you decide not to pay for them.

I appreciate all the advice. I don't have the figures anymore. Even if
I did, it was an overseas order - and the return shipping cost would be prohibitive.
The seller did offer to give me a discount on future orders if I pay for the
extras - but he doesn't have much left in his store right now that I'd
be interested in.
I will try to work out a middle ground - maybe give me a discount on the extras
I got already.

What did you do 2 and a half months ago when you first got the 25 minifigures?

I didn't say anything to him. Like I said, I figured he realized he still
had them and included them as a bonus. It was an order of hundreds of figures
too - and I didn't go through the invoice to reconcile each item I received.

Ouch, you received far more than you paid for and didn't contact the seller?
That's far from fair acting in this community.
If you act like that, a court ruling will say that you were acting in bad faith.
You should have checked the parts received (you did, as you noticed there were
15 more of the specimen you were told there would be 15 less; ofcourse you did:
900 USD order!!) and should have contacted them directly to check this was a
mistake or a 'gift'.
You chose to regard it as a bonus. But didn't ask to get it confirmed.
That's so wrong to do.....
My advice is to try to fix this in the next couple weeks. I really think you
should.
Posting this case here, indicates on some level you know this isn't the right
way to go.

Reading this it sounds like the seller had all 25 figures but didn't want
to let you have all of them (for a cheap price) and lied and said they only had
10. How else would someone realize they were missing 15 figures 2.5 months later?
I don't agree with keeping something for free that was not intended as a
gift but.....

He did have them on sale for a good price. I agree, there is a lot odd about
it.

It does sound like he let them go a bit cheap and wanted to keep some back so
lied about it. But then screwed up and packed the whole order.
Did he give you the chance to cancel the whole order, or did he just refund saying
he only had 10 of that figure?
How much were these 15 figures compared to the rest of the order?

At first I thought this if they were maybe high value minifigs listed that were
long ago and price was not at market now. But being an order with hundreds of
minifigs it can happen the seller confused the lot he checked. But also again
it wouldn't explain how he knows he sent the remaining 15, so back on first
option...
I wouldn't do this, happened to me once listing a lot at 0.01 instead of
+0.1 and a buyer made an order and got all my hundreds items of this lot at that
price. I messaged him to explain the error but saying I will ship the order nevertheless.

Your order was 900 USD for hundred of figures? Or was the order 900 USD for only
the 25 figures? Huge difference
