Huh? You are even more panicky than OP. NOBODY except OP has
complained about not getting the inspection done. Buyer had 10 days
to do it, and didn't. OP is an idiot for jerking Buyer's chain and
raising the issue. It is for Buyer to do it if Buyer wants to. The
Inspection is for Buyer's protection not Seller's, and if Buyer
doesn't bother, why is the Seller griping?

So far there is NO indication Buyer doesn't want the house.

There are two typical scenarios why Buyer doesn't do the inspection.
One, he is confident in the condition of the house as he saw it. Two,
it is a fixer-upper and he is planning major tearouts and renovations
anyway, so doesn't care much about what's wrong now.

Not every Buyer is ignorant about the condition of houses. It is the
more knowledgeable buyers who often DON'T feel the need for an outside
inspector who may know even less than they do. Why a Seller would
push the inspection if Buyer aint bothering, I dunno.
