Those idiots on E-bay

Post by Henke »

Check out this auction for a car, I laughed out loud when I read it.
Poor guy, he must have had his inbox filled with junk mail from stupid people asking him all kinds of moronic questions, glad he took the time to answer them on the auction page. It made an enjoyable thursday night read.

Enjoy

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I really was laughing hard at his answers. I liked:

"Well stuff me sideways with a large mexican cactus..."

"Heaven help us...
Another is it left hand drive?
Don't you read or something? If not then I guess this isn't going make a lot of sense then. In which case I guess I can call you anything and you won't know! Nit.
Do you think that I have cunningly turned the photo's around to make it just look like a right hand drive vehicle just to fool you???? Give me strength. NO ITS A BLOODY RIGHT HAND DRIVE MPV."

That was really funny.

However, I wonder if the seller paid a price for his sense of humor. I can imagine many people hesitating to ask questions or bid because they were unsure of the seller's attitude.

Best wishes,
Jerry

The attitude may have served him as a survival tactic judging from the sheer volume of inquiries he apparently had to sift thru. It might otherwise have been even worse for him! :boggle:

Anyway, the sale is closed. Wonder how it ended.

Douglas Adams is alive and well and selling second-hand cars in Oxford.

Brilliant ... although with a name like Plato the Fish, you'd think he'd be a little more philosophical about his dilema.

Fantastisk Henke!
Satte nästan kaffet i halsen när jag skulle följa mailkonversationen.

Ha det!
