Hello all!
People that buy/sell parts on this site should get a kick out of this.

I have  had a westy bench/bed for sale on ebay that goes in a vanagon westy.
A fellow emailed me (off list) and asked if I still had it.  I told him yes,
for the shipping is high, and there is yet to be someone close to get the
thing.

I have received a few estimates on shipping this thing across the USA, and
it is too big to box up and go UPS. (the weekender is 59 inches long)It
costs close to $300 to go by truck.

I was informed my this individual "that I really must not want to sell it,
for Ups is $63.13"

Here is an actual copy of an excerpt from his email

>>Actually, I just thought you were just being a lazy ass, since you
"estimated" instead of
getting an actual quote like someone interested in doing business, and were
content to let
a customer pay 3-4 times as much to make up for your laziness.  If you
wanted to be lazy
more than do business, fine by me.  I never thought you were trying to rip
me off, I am
sure that you could spend $500 shipping it: have someone come to your house,
pack it up,
serve you tea, then hand-carry it coast to coast.

Seeing your lousy attitude, I appreciate your revealing yourself early,
rather than
waiting till half-way through the deal to show your true colors.>>>

Unbelievable...  kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth when someone is
calling you a liar,lazy-ass, etc., I am glad the majority of people I help
with used parts are happy I am here!!!!!!!!!
