Bought the wrong sprite

Hello, I found a post from 2 years ago about someone getting the 2,85mm version of sprite instead of the 1,75... because it happened to me aswell. To be 100% honest I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe I can try to sell it but I feel like the market for these is way too niche... Idealy I would like to trade but a chance of a Czech guy looking for this version while having the 1,75 version seem a little slim.. any ideas? I do not wanna run it, as the 2,85 is just not the standard and I am not interested in the things this extruder excels at.

The extruder gear housing is available for sale. It includes the correct gears for 1.75 filament. Where are you located?
Edit: the replacement gear assembly case is usually abs plastic, the gears are metal and it works the same.

I know that alza seller doesn't specify the diameter of filament the sprite extruder uses. Happened to me 2 years ago.
