So I recently bought and subsiquently sold a 2002 GT and, of course, did a few mods to it in the year I owned the car. As with any leftover parts I decided to sell them on a popular Mustang website and I am absolutely shocked at how different the Mustang crowd really is from you Focus guys.
Sure, from time to time there have been some folk on these boards who left a lot to be desired, but these guys take the cake! Seriously I have never experienced more whiney, cheapskate sons of bitches in my life! AND I WORK IN CAR RENTALS!!! Every buyer has sent me a "im reportn u 2 the police" if I didn't respond in less than a six hour timeframe. Holy ****, do any of them know what it's like to work a full-time job??? Most potential buyers have low-balled me beyond what I would consider reasonable asking for me to take $50 shipped for items I was asking $100 + shipping and cost over $200 new.
Now I have one guy who bought the most expensive item (a pair of wheels and tires) disputing with Paypal that I did not say PAIR in the ad. My only issue, and this is my fault entirely, is that I deleted the ad body and wrote "SOLD" when I got the payment because simply responding with a new post that said "sold" still caused a flood of emails from people who don't read even the first post in its entirety.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here, but I basically gave him these wheels/tires and feel he should have little recourse. I ended up agreeing to $300 shipped for a pair of wheels that cost $150/ea new with tires that cost $130/ea new and had about 500 miles/one month total useage AND cost $50.46/ea to ship. So I made $199.08 on a pair of wheels that cost me $620 new plus shipping to me plus mounting/balancing plus shipping to him. All things told he paid NOTHING for this and he's still disputing that I ripped him off.
Am I insane for thinking that someone who thinks they are getting a full SET of wheels/tires for $199 is ****ing nuts????
