I love the line that begins "Just bid and win..."

Well lets see

BAGPIPES BY PIPER FOR PIPERS

A COMPLETE KIT FOR LERNERS

ADVANTAGES OF BAYING YOUR PIPES FROM A PIPER

ALL PIPES ARE SETUP AND TASTED THEREFORE NO HEADACHE FOR YOU ANY MORE

JUST BID & WIN YOUR BRIGHT FUCTURE

IT’S HARD WORK TO ACHIVE THE DESIRED SOUND & AM SPENDING MY TIME WITHOUT ANY EXTRA CHARGES TO SET THESE PIPES UP WHICH A BIGGNIER CAN’T DO ALL BY HIM SELF SO HAVE FUN!

NOW IT’S YOUR TIME TO BUY A LEARNING KIT THAT IS AVAILABLE IN MARKET & BY FAR THE BEST IN QUALITY & VERY ECNOMICAL AT THE SAME TIME

Hmmm.... from the appalling grammer and spelling I think we can deduce that the seller is of foreign origin as are the pipes and seriously doubt if he was asked to play them could get a note or two out of them in the right order

Do these people really believe everyone is as thick as themselves

Item location also looks interesting FedEx, Surrey, UK. None of my street finding software can find the village of FedEx :D

While it is funny, perhaps the poor guy doesn't speak English as a first language, in which case, fair play.

Maybe so but it is still a con trying to pass off a pakistani set on the unwary
