Arrow Ebay Seller

Although this seller has a perfect feedback score, I am amazed at the description of his auction for svx rear calipers. He describes them as being in very good clean condition with minor scratches and defects. C'mon, give me a brake! The calipers are all rusted for cryin out loud

You see, the problem here isnt the sellers description...

Its that you want him to GIVE you a brake. Hasnt anyone told you that nothing in this world is for free?

How did he get so many positive feedback?

The english and grammar got better a lot by copying and paste from other auctions, I guess.

I hate scammers.

grammer could have been easily rectified by using microsoft word grammer check...

Actually firefox 2.0 now incorporates it as well, so he wouldn't even have to use an external app to create the ad.

Thumbs up wow

This auction is for OEM Cups Holder. It was removed from a 1992 Subaru SVX. This Item is in very good and clean condition. Electrical components have been tested. As you can see I am parting out the whole car so if you need any part let me know and I will get it. Don't miss this deal, because it is really hard to find a deal like this. It will also fit to other subaru models, but please check with your local dealer.

i didn't know we have electircal heated and cooled cup holders

I can't believe the conditions of those calipers! They only had a few scratches on them though.

I don't think they're at that good to use Microsoft word. Looks like copying a lot from the other auctions to me.

One day, if I have alot of free time, I'm gonna prank that number.

The message I got back from dans carparts/carparts n more/sasha, etc....... was "Are you just making fun of my lack of english or are you really interested in the parts?" Then he says that he sells hundreds of parts a day.....who the ef is buying all these so called parts.
I told him to get the descriptions right if he's selling SVX parts. He said he'd change the description on the brake calipers if it would make me happy.

Well it didn't.................
