It all depends. Your liability may be based on two things, (1) representations and warranties that you made in the Bill of Sale, or (2) representations and warranties that you made in your Sale advert or oral statements that you made that could have been relied upon by the buyer to his/her detriment.
You may be liable if you made representations that were not true.
