Are you kidding me? Newest complaint about an eBay seller.

I just had to post this because I am amazed that people think they can do business on eBay like this. So I bought 10lbs of random Lego bricks from a seller on eBay last week. He listed them with the following text. "Selling a 10lb lot of LEGO building blocks and pieces. Comes from a smoke free home. Shipping only to the Continental United States. Items are in good condition as shown in the picture provided. Serious bidders only! All LEGO Brand. Pieces of mini-figures included, not whole. Arms, Legs, Hands, Heads... just not put together. You may be able to put 3-10 minifigures together from the parts." Anyway I got the box yesterday and the first thing my wife and I decided to do is wash them because they were filthy. As we were dumping them in to the sink there was all kinds of trash in the box along with the pieces. So we pulled out the trash and started looking through them. We got to about 50 mega blocks and tyco brand blocks before we stopped sorting and realized that this guy just threw whatever in the box and listed them as LEGO brand. But what really made me mad is when we found a broken piece of glass in the box with the pieces. Seriously with a "toy" you don't sort it enough to make sure there isn't broken glass mixed in. I immediately went to eBay and contacted the seller and nicely explained everything we found in the box. This is his response. "Don't know what to tell you. Sold six boxes of LEGOS and no one else got glass. Probably just got a bad box. As for those non-LEGO pieces, they look like LEGO to me. I'm not a professional LEGO seller or builder, I just sold my nephews LEGOS that he didn't want anymore. I never said they were brand new LEGOS. They were used LEGO pieces, that came from a smoke free home. There might be some random trash or other little toys, but that is because they came from a large box of LEGOS. Took out most of the trash from the box, regardless small pieces are bound to be found in there. You try sorting through 80lbs of LEGOS. It's hella time consuming. I'm sure the trash you got didn't weigh more than a pound, so you still got around 10lbs of LEGOS.I don't know what you want me to do to remedy the situation. Won't be giving a refund, and don't accept returns. I could send you a couple (4-5) of random minifigures if you want. Let me know."
