Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I sold kitchen appliances to a woman using an ad on craigslist. I told her if they didn't work to give me a call. I am confident that everything is fully functioning. A couple of days later, she called and said they didn't fit and asked if I would take them back. I said no, the ad clearly stated the sizes and reassured her that if she listed them on craigslist, she could likely get more than she paid me for them. The day after that, she called my phone about 4 or 5 times within a 20 minute period without leaving a msg. I called her her back and she tried to say the oven is electric. It's not. I told her the gas line is inside the oven, to take it out and hook it up. The next day (today) she called my phone 3 times in 6 minutes without leaving a msg. I didn't call her back. Other than if the appliances didn't work, it was an as-is sale. She should have taken measurements before she bought them. I am wondering about the laws regarding this. What should I do?

The presumption is that the sale was "as-is" unless you made any representations to the contrary. Sounds like she is out of luck.
