I wouldn't worry too much about it, being a private sale he would have to show that the item does not suit the description which I guess you would have posted on Facebook?
If you stated in the ad that it is in fully working condition, he would potentially have reasonable cause to go to small claims court. However for the cost of the sale that is highly improbable.
This whole tradition of people saying 'sold as seen' is complete malarkey. A trader breaks the law by saying it, and in private sales it is the written description which forms the basis for legal disputes. If it is advertised as working (preferably in writing), then it has to work.
