Replacing the white schock absorber on the feet

Mr Phantom said:

Thanks for all your suggestions and ideas. I decided not to buy the drone even if the guy decided to sell it to me cheaper. About the shock absorber being broke in any other way than in a hard landing.. i think in this case it was really a crash since if you look at the picture i provided in a earlier post you can see that its not only the white part that is broken, the whole black lower part where the white absorber ends and attaches too is ripped up, so in my non professional opinion it looks like not only a crash but a hard crash?

Also the biggest reason i didn't buy was that the buyers character was bad and he didn't know how too talk and behave properly to buyers, for example he called me a "joker" just because i didn´t answer back his text message in 5 minutes, so he thought i wasn't serious. Who calls a potential customer for joker when he doesn't answer in 5 minutes?
Also when he finally lowered the price a little bit and i said no and told him which price i can pay and not a single dollar more, he answered "so come a take this piece of ****, but don't except any happy faces when you arrive"
Who says these things to a customer? So i couldn't lower myself and give my hard earned money to such a person with such a horrible persona and attitude.
So i rather pay much more and buy a brand new Inspire 1 or wait until i find another used Inspire 1, or i buy an Phantom 3.

Thanks for your kind words, thats exactly what i thought as well, that if he lies about that he can lie about other things as well.
For example he said that he had spoken with a retailer that had told him that the absorber can be ordered from him for about 60 USD. Then i go online and find out that it can't be replaced separately but that the whole feet must be replaced. Also if he didn't knew about the broken absorber and just found it out a minute earlier when did he talked with the retailer?
It amazes me how some sellers lie about obvious things and thinks buyers will not understand its a lie.
Actually i understood from the beginning he told me that it was lies, but i thought first that maybe its just white lies that are not harmful, that he just tries to not scare away the customer?

Anyway, i have no panic in buying a drone so i will take my time.

Anybody that knows if DJI are in the works of making an Inspire 1 version 2 with a bit more major updates?

Okay so you say that the white thing has no shock absorbing effect at all? So then its just there for looks?

So it is the foot itself that does the absorbing and flexing? But since you say that the white thing is bending with the foot, then it needs to function in that way that it bends, it needs to be able to bend, maybe that white thing keeps the flexing of the foot more rigid and hard so the foot doesn't flex from too little force, if you understand what i mean?

In this particular Inspire the white thing was broken, there was one white tube hanging from the upper part of the foot, and attached to it was a metallic pin, and then on the lower side there was another piece of the white tube, the upper and lower white tube suppose to be fixed together and form one tube, so the tube was broken in half. Not sure it can be fixed by myself? It would be needed to be able to attach the two parts of the white plastic tube together.
