I recently sold a fairly high value model plane ($1200). I packed it pretty darn well but it still managed to get damaged in transit, but the buyer paid an extra $50 on top of shipping to fully insure the model. He sent me pics of the damage, I pursued the insurance claim, and the courier company paid out, so I now have $2400.
The buyer should obviously be refunded, but should he keep the model as well? He's already started to repair the model. From a legal and moral standpoint, should he get a refund and keep the damaged model because he's the one who paid extra for insurance?
If he receives a refund, you should get the plane. If he wishes to keep the plane and apply money from the insurance to offset repairs, that's also a valid option.

yeah it's his you filthy jew
Under american law, title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer when the seller delivers it to a common carrier. So when he bought it and you shipped it, it was his. When it was damaged in transit, it was still his, and the insurance policy kicked in.
You're not refunding him the money he paid for it, are you? You shouldn't have to do that - damage was done in transit, the item was already paid for and his. Just pass along the insurance money and everything should be square.
