Speechless

[GreenBean]

2001 FORD FOCUS GHIA 1.8 Zetec Very Clean Interior | eBay UK

One of the weirdest listings ever

[jbluntz]

I'm not speechless but yeah that was one heck of a listing 31,905 views.

[Alps_a somewhatlegend]

I dont know what too say.... 'speechless' is the only thing and 'wow'

That has tripped me out!

[GreenBean]

My grapevine says the seller may be a former GF of a friend, not known for her stability.

Glad you shared that with us!

Diversion/Humor is ALWAYS Good for my routine.

Favorite part of the listing (with the picture) was...

My sincere apologies, I should have made this clear from the very beginning to avoid any doubt in your minds. I am pleased to confirm that you can easily fit 3 tins of Heinz Baked beans and 1 bottle of cheap aftershave on the dashboard. None of these are included in the sale of the mint green ford focus but I will allow you a spray of the aftershave, if I think you have sprayed more than is fair I will have to rub my face against you to reclaim some of the aftershave. I have not been able to test (due to laziness on my behalf) if an expensive bottle of aftershave would squeeze on to the dash but I suspect not.

um, its a guy I think, talking about getting in to neighbours knickers, plus on last item sold refers to his wife...anyhoo, I think the sales patter hasnt put anyone off yet, 4 bids....either unstable or having a laugh, I thnk the latter........did you see the buyer question asking for pics of the neighbour!

Reminds me of that wetsuit on e bAY recently...

"Hola,

I was wondering if you had pictures of the 'girl next door' and if they will be supplied upon viewing of the motor vehicle, if not will she be around for me to spy on?

Much love"

It is very effective to say the least! 80,000+ views!

I did check an older item he sold and it didn't have as much flair and creatvity as his latest one. So perhaps he did get the idea from recent listings that got 200,000+ views.

Still some funny stuff though but I think e Bay will end up putting a stop to this kind of listing style

[Imakemoney]

what a strange listing

[cobber_gc]

I can't believe i read the whole thing, even the 5 pages of buyer questions.

At first I thought this guy was nuts but when I got to reading the listing updates I just couldn't stop laughing. This while standing behind a counter at work on a busy saturday with people about

This guy is a genius. I always add my own personality and homour to my listings myself. I find it helps if you put some effort into the description with a dash of humour where it fits.

But this guy is king in the effort and humour department. He lists his car for sale on ebay and ends up with half the chicks on the net wanting to have his babies.

[TGMT²]

Ha Ha !!!

Now he is selling one his hand drawn cartoons he made for his listing.

And it is doing Very Well with bids...

Is this a joke, or something? Why would anyone bid on that? Its just a piece of paper with crappy drawing...............

[BiN4RY]

Hahahahaha this guy's awesome

[cobber_gc]

Wow. He better start making some more drawings. The fans have spoken.

Even though I'm sure that Battle Cat drawing was traced. :D

Without putting a downer on things... but....

... in one of the replies to one of the questions.... seller said 'does you mother know you speak like that' - thats a bit rough/rude as the seller does not know if the potential buyer asking the question even knows his mother / mother recently died / serious family issues (etc.)....

..... therefor eb should not allow this to happen for common sense reasons. As they do let this happen and when people like myself try to earn an honest living, we/I get banned.... so....

Good luck eb... I did not like peeps selling f a k items but you boys and girls carry on coz eb do... evidence is there.... take da p i z.


I am joining you 'big earner' boys soon... I got the brains so sod it. XxX

Moody post... but there you have it.
