Default What is it with the type of people these cars draw?

I am so fed up with selling car parts on ebay and gumtree. I just reluctantly let go a 480 set of pedders shocks for a mere 135 and now I have the bogan from Horsham region hassling me for a refund because as far as he's concerned my shocks are apparently too "soft", when they're flipping practically brand new! Almost everyone who has bought a part off me and had it posted to them in this region has had at least some sort of problem.. last one was an 20yr old entire ef wheel with cruise and airbag for $15... too much wear apparently had twists in it :S.

It's been the same thing with people who buy E series crap, they either waste your time never being punctual for the 20 dollar part they want to waste your evening for. Or expect everything to be brand new for 20% of retail price. With my shocks this guy has simply pushed them in with his hand and come to his own view they're leaking oil and the gas has leaked out Asked him to confirm and he has a sook over them being to "soft" he's been mechanic for 35yrs blah blah, typo's and illiterate grammar everywhere (the whole package basically). And turns out they're not actually leaking oil or gas... he just thinks they have because they feel to soft when he depresses them by hand bogan style!!! They're practically brand freakin new, luckily I don't care and put no returns and have all his lies documented in the dispute for legal purposes. But that's it even for 135 for one item dealing with people like this is beyond unsavoury.

To them it's like people are merely avenues to get everything for free off (too many beggars as well). I don't even have the nerve to call someone up and ask for a $5 headlight switch... I pay them $20 or buy another item because I understand they don't live to serve me... These bogans actually expect people to bend over this much for them? Sell a test certificate with my shocks? Wait around 2hrs for someone to pick up a 5 dollar item that never ends up coming... it has to be the worst type of consumer out of all of them! It just angers me thinking of how much time today I've already wasted on this idiot, told him to take them to a real mechanic and stop wasting my time.
