I can imagine how sick the OP feels about it and no doubt his wife is pissed off and embarrassed about it.
Personally I would go back to the persons house or give them a ring and see what they are willing to do. Its hard but try not to be to confronting about it...bearing in mind caveat emptor they would probably be unwilling to refund you but you might be able to get them to agree to giving you the $125 to cover getting it looked at. If you sold it for $200 your not that far out of pocket then

Under the doctrine of caveat emptor, the buyer could not recover from the seller for defects on the property that rendered the property unfit for ordinary purposes. The only exception was if the seller actively concealed latent defects or otherwise made material misrepresentations amounting to fraud

I wouldn't go in with this from the start, very confrontational. Its good advise but bear in mind it will cost you a darn sight more than $400 to take it to court and get your $400 back.
