If you really want to sell something...wouldnt you make absolutely sure that your AD was flawless...at least when it comes to spelling??? Dont people proofread BEFORE they put the book up for sale???

Apart from deliberate scamming, non-disclosure, or cr@p scans, nothing puts me off an auction more than if the seller can't spell or has no idea about grammar and syntax. It's incredible how much you see of that on ebay.

is there anything more interesting we can talk about here other than stupid typos? confused-smiley-013.gif Like, how about me paying stupid money for a HOM 185 27_laughing.gif

Speaking of funny as Hell!!

 

My wife and I went Yard Sale buying for our eBay business on Saturday

and at one house there was a 5 year old computer for sale that had a sign on it that says

"It Do Work".

 

That was the best laugh I had in awhile. 27_laughing.gif
