Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

He's either completely brain-dead or the world's worst troll... I can't tell which.
His wording and grammar usage is so bad it gives me a headache when I try to read anything he types.
I really just feel like reporting the listing but I can't figure out what category to place it in.

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

I really want to buy this JUST to see what I receive in the mail.

Probably a fish.

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

I read somewhere that a lot of the internet scam artist intentionally make lots of miss spelling, gramatical mistakes and otherwise laughable writing style to attract only the stupidest people. This seems like an example.

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

Yay, raw furry dawg is back, I missed him! I think Earl might want to improve his salmon handling, or maybe the rest of us need this in order to compete with Earl's super fast salmon?

His feedback says he's "Fantastic quality! Incredibly SUPER FAST Shipping!!! Very Trustworthy!!! A++++"

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

This one is pretty impressive as well, a $1,000 timing belt tensioner.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-1997-Su...95bddb&vxp=mtr

Better be made of solid platinum.

Edit: Perhaps even better, these magnificent $999.99 stick on plastic fender vents:

I would do the same if I had $200 to throw away.
Also, looks like the auction ended.

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

I've been searching with highest price with shipping lately. I think it may be a money maker. Get the dumbest people to buy your junk for the highest price just because if it's expensive it must be good. It doesn't cost you anything to list if it doesn't sell. I see 300-400% on average.

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

"Bidding has ended on this item." With 0 bids. If only I had known sooner!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!

Now to start the wild the conjecture as to what he was talking about. I'm going with the "red flip shields" referring to the red LED's that light up on the dash indicating that the door is ajar. Bid, dawgs!

Re: Confusing/hilarious ebay auction

Looks like he has relisted the item. Price is lower, a SMALL bit of grammar is corrected, and best of all, now there are PICTURES of the product! At least I think there are?
