the funniest ebay listing ever...trust me read this !!!!

Post by marsyas » Thu Jul 13, 2006 4:28 pm

look at this poor guy trying to sell his mini-van.
skroll down to read some of the questions he had to answer...

start reading after his description, once it gets too the emails he answered !!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 4633452260

i have not laughed so hard in ages...

some people are obviously messing with this dude on purpose.

a few highlights:
No I don't think that I'm your long lost husband George from Arbroath regardless of how sarcastic I appear to be. It's called humour where I'm from. Personally I think George did the right thing where ever he is.
Yes you can look at it but no you can't take it for a two day test drive. (I am sure April 1st has gone).
Ha ha very funny, no it's not made out of chocolate. (Why me. I get on a train / bus and I get the nutter. I even land the nutty taxi drivers who have just had Paris Hilton in the cab 'honest' - yeh right.). Get a life and start bidding.
Again no swaps. What is it with people, when I say no swaps please don't take it as a challange. I have been offfered a caravan, 12 cars, 1 lorry, to have my garden landscaped, some rare fish, and I'm sorry but the very kind gent (Donald) who offered me a weekend with his wife (and him it would appear) I have a special message for you. The pictures you sent me of your wife did not, in all honesty help. Some of them looked more like a traffic accident than something that I might remotely find alluring. I am sure that if you set up your own website (assuming that it's not illegal) there will be plenty of sad sacks (many from ebay land going by this experience) who will indulge your (and your wifes) desires.
For the 34 people who are interested in the tyres. Firstly I am sure that your interest in rubber ...no I can't be bothered, I'm sure Donald and his wife would like to meet you (see above). The tyres are very good. They all look reasonably new. On the subject of tires....
This bit is absolutely classic, asking about the cupholders repeatedly !!

Yes Bob the cup holders work.

No Bob the cup holders are not broken or damaged in any way. As I said they work.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 24-Apr-06 at 13:41:05 BST, seller added the following information:

Well Bob I just suppose that depends on how big your cups are doesn't it. No I haven't tried them with tins. I Don't drink and drive Bob.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 24-Apr-06 at 13:47:14 BST, seller added the following information:

Bob haven't you got work to do or do you find that you have a problem relating to the rest of the human race? What is it with the cup holders? My suggestion is that rather than buying a car you go out and buy a cup holder. It's much safer - trust me.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 24-Apr-06 at 13:51:15 BST, seller added the following information:

Thanks Bob and I hope that you have a nice day too. Oh by the way Bob you are now barred from bidding. I figure that the motoring and pedestrian population of Great Britain are safer that way.

Loved this bit

The tyres on the right hand side of the vehicle are not flat. The reason the picture of the rear seats is 'wonky' as you put it, has an awful lot to do with the fact that I was trying to perch myself between the two front seats facing backwards. There was a very interesting hand brake and gear stick threatening to change my gender at that moment. Additionally at the same time, fending off a small child wearing an eye patch and a pirates bandana who was in the process of trying to hack my left leg off with a large plastic knife; a generous donation to family harmony from Santa.
Hmm....

Not convinced this is genuine. Very very funny though. Might email him to ask. That'll send him over the edge :D

The best I've ever seen is the guy who tried to sell his role as best man at his mates weddings 'cause he hated the bride's family so much he couldn't stand to be there.
