Ebay - a picture is worth 975 words

[bw77]

Usually on e-bay sellers tend to have very short descriptions of small items
they are selling. This one, for a c-clamp, is the longest I have ever seen.
975 words in one paragraph.

This guy must have been jacked up on speed and Mountain Dew when he wrote this posting!

All for a $2 clamp

All for a $2 clamp

Did you check out the shipping?

Maybe he's still at school and this weeks homework was to write a 2000 word essay on "a c-clamp".

Wow! I might have to ask the seller a question and see how many words are in the response!

 

[GoBlue]

hahahahaha

 

[byoungblood]

I was actually tempted to bid on it until I saw the shipping! I guess that's one of the retards that hasn't realized that eBay collects fees on shipping too.

Check out his other item listed

So he is a car salesman that explains a lot.

I've had the opposite experience lately, buying some hand tools and the only description with 1 small pic is: "This is a nice wrench." or for the 13 screw drivers I bought: "Good screwdriver set "

I believe the shipping is based on the weight of the clamp. I have one of those and it is heavy. That being said, I'd buy it for .99! (no more though!)

 

[Bronson]

His other auction......
Holy ****!

 

[Big Gus]

Well, at least you pretty well know what you're getting.

I wonder if he was accused of failing to disclose something about a car and wrote all that as an outlet for his anger.

 

[930dreamer]

WOW.

 

[puttsy]

Ya know, we probably shouldn't all take a look at it. He's gonna see a TON of page views and think his uber explanation was a good idea.

My question: Who the heck went searching for a C-clamp on eBay to stumble across this listing though!? We all seem to have too many C-clamps and too few uses for 'um. And they've always seemed like they should be called a "G" clamp instead of "C", just my thought though.

 

[USMCdodge]

=O I dont think I could even think of that much to say.

 

[USMCdodge]

and ya I have 2 of the exact same c-clamps and I know for a fact it costs around 4.00 to ship.

 

[monster1]

I live in Bakersfield! Maybe I should bid and ask for local pick and report back to you guys what his damage is?

 

[muskaman67]

thats what you call covering your ***...lol theres definitely no surprises with that c clamp...

 

[mark viii mark]

The items description is alittle vague.

 

[Steevo]

At least he uses punctuation and capitalizes the beginning of new sentences, so you can understand what he is writing. That puts him ahead of a lot of forum posters here.

I applaud you sir! Props on the wit and truth. I *try* to use proper grammar but some must trying doing the opposite.
