I am being Sued.....ARG

So, you will nt believe this story but. We sold a house and it was on a lake. Okay so the house was originally built in 1951 and was done a complete remodel in 1986. We moved into it in 2004. All appliances and everything were existing from 1986. We knew that the appliances were old but we were okay with them. We decided we needed to move, so in 2006 we put the house up on the market. A couple wanted us to go around their own agent and ours to make a final sale. we ignored their requests. Then, they did have their agent send a bid to us. We countered and never heard back. We took the house off the market and not less than a week later their agent called us back saying they still wanted to negotiate. We brought our agent back in only because we did not want to get into trouble and the fact that the original offer was brought in BY our agent while he was there selling our house. It was a tricky situation, we were very unsure of selling at that time but we knew we had to get out of the house. Well, it was AS IS. THey wanted us to do all ths repair work for the small amount of money they were offering and we said "NO, AS IS TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" well they took it. NOW they are trying to get money back from US because they could not get the commission from OUR agent to them. They went after our agency to get paid for all sorts of repair work, our agency wrote back saying that this was not something they could recoup for as the contract stated AS IS. now they are suing US for the maximum in small claims court. even THEIR agent does not understand and he gave up $5100 of his own commissions plus another $800 to have them hire a cleaning crew to come in for 2 days....They felt we did not clean well enough when we left the house...HELLO? What is wrong with these people. We were not Renting the house from them. We cleaned to the best of our ability and so what it was not to their satisfaction, so it is their house, they clean it put things in it the way they want Contract stated AS IS. Their were noticable wear and tear on the house, we never did any upgrading to the house other than a new carpet in the stairs and hallway, we did not update the carpet in the master bedroom. They are complaining of stains on the carpet in the master bedroom....They want a new house, but our house is NOT NEW!! Even when the remodel was done, it was shoddy work...did we go back to the previous owners and sue them for the fact that the house was CRAP? No because we bought it for the value of it being on the lake, and being the size it was for our needs. It is an OLD HOUSE and it was not modernized for our benefit.....we were to do that ourselves if we wanted to. So now they are suing I am just beside myself, I am so glad that all the agents are seeing that they are confused as well...it is annoying as all get out!!
