He has a a e-book pdf that he can access on two devices. He'd lose that entire access.
He has a paper copy.
Yeah, I suppose there's scammer potential there.
Partly what's going on here is I know OP's story and believe it so I'm 100% on board with him selling like this. He hasn't used the books much at all and just wants some money back. Otoh I don't give refunds at all, plus he's had it for several years so I really don't see how I can give a refund. So I told him I'd help with secondary sale if I could.
Regardless I sell a product with paper and e-copies and they own both. I guess someone could sell each individually and I wouldn't know. I can monitor/manage their e-access but not where their paper copy is. If I somehow found out about fishiness I'd respond appropriately if there was a good response.
Oh well. The book is expensive and loaded with detailed charts. Buyers deserved a paper copy. And nearly all value the exclusivity too much to mess around. If there's a small loss here and there because someone double-sells for just above half price...not happy about it, but meh.
Less happy with the Russians.
