Title: Do you do this, too?? Look at eBay ads for the humour??
Post by: cosmo on October 26, 2010, 04:00:16 AM
I have been looking for a car for some time. Mostly because I am in Chicago, don't have a car, and am kinda wimpy. Snow and ice in the dark just don't excite me like years past.

Anyway, I can actually be entertained by reading the descriptions of various vehicles being offered to the public.

Idiots who canNOT spell.

Morons who price their car so impossibly high that it's quite laughable.

Text like "would make a great movie car". What does that even mean?!?!

Ran when parked, in 1972.

Some rust. More like some car, most rust.

And on and on.

What I cannot determine is whether these folk are just bragging that they have the car, rather than realistically attempting to rid themselves of the voiture. eBay does charge for the insertion, regardless of sale.

Nevertheless, I have my source of giggles.

E bay seems to have the largest pool of jokers and illiterate idiots on the planet, not sure if most of them can't spell and punctuate, or just can't be bothered. If it's the latter, can you be bothered to read the ad and try to work out what they're saying?

I disagree.  I think the Craigslist folk to be the least literate of the bunch.

Also a source of entertainment for me.

Craigslist certainly brings out the lowballers on vehicles most of the time !
I have yet to been offered anything reasonably even close to what the asking price is on stuff. I don't think they understand the concept of a statement that says "$XXX  firm , not negotiable "
