eBay frustration - again!

Ok my third rant on eBay frustration - I'm just venting here.

I'm cleaning out a bunch of stuff I had lying around... much of it not used in a few years. I had 2 R/C cars, one a gas powered truck, another a gas powered car. Once I got the truck, I never used the car again. I noticed the air filter is missing and there is no radio receiver, etc. There's nothing wrong with it, but I dont want to deal with claiming it's perfect, so I just said it hadn't been run in a while, I had no gas for it and didn't know how to get it running, and that was the condition. It will probably go for $50-70 so not to sound snobby but it's not worth my time to take video of it running or have it checked out by a local shop, etc, etc. Basically just want to get rid of it.

So I get a "question from eBay member". He writes this rude email asking "how I can claim I don't know how to get the car running when I am selling another truck that I am claiming works fine". On my truck auction, he sends a question asking where are the manuals and the original box.

People like this bug me. I say in the car auction "if theres anything you want me to do or check on the car, just let me know and I will do it". Why not just ask if I can turn it over or if he can send it back if it doesn't work (which he could have)? Why be a prick? Why do people automatically think they are in the power position if they're the buyer? I'm not biting my nails hoping and praying someone buys the frickin car - rather I'm going to get a fraction of what I have invested in this car that ran for about 2 hours total... but this guy wants to run me through the wringer over a car that will fetch maybe $70?

So I wrote back and told him not to bid and I am not interested in his business... not in a rude way, just said I would not want to sell it to him but thanks anyways.

Whats up with people? Did common courtesy go out the window a long time ago or what?
