Ball was a Columbia Action Packed, the Buyer received the ball and said that he could see that the core had been drilled into by looking into a finger hole.

He said that if his driller recommended him not having the ball plugged and redrilled, that he would like a refund. He stated that I should have listed in the auction that the core was drilled into....

My opinion is that it's used ball, and it won't be affected significantly by being plugged. I think it's "buyer beware" on used balls, and you accept the ball "as is"...

Any opinions?

Probably 75% of used stuff has at least some small part of the core drilled out.  You'd be hard pressed to drill into the core on a Power Groove, but an Action Packed has a fairly large core.  It would be difficult to avoid, especially for the thumb hole, as it's probably going to be drilled mostly into the side of the core.  On a Buzzsaw, put the thumb about 6" from the pin and see how easy it is to avoid drilling into the core.  You can't do it.

I don't see why it would make a difference.

First of all, it is difficult to drill a ball and not drill into the core somewhere.  If he wanted to plug the ball, which I have done many times, it does not hurt the ball unless the ball has been plugged numerous times.  I think the guy needs to get over it.  If it was advertised as a used ball, what did he expect?
