Worst e-Bay ad ever?

Post by Gludenscrude » Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:09 am

I spotted this and in my opinion this is the worst ad I have ever seen.

Did Rover ever make a 3cc diesel 827 :?:

doh!!!

and watch out for the "Speares" they can be a bit pointy :)

I just love the photo though, that's what does it for me, a perfect example of the e-bay school of photography if ever there was one.

I must admit since posting my last comment, I have felt a little guilty as the vendor possibly cant help bad spelling, but even ignoring the spelling, there isn't much right about the ad.

I am beginning to wonder if the e-bay school of photography could be immortalised in a thread of its own :?:

:) :) :)

Go for it - just make sure that the photos are saved to photobucket so that we don't lose them after 3 months.

Wow. Yes, that's a poor ad.

Gludenscrude: Sure, he/she might not be able to help it being poorly spelt, but how difficult can it be to make sure it IS all spelt correctly?

I mean, nowadays, when money's tight for everybody; if you're trying to sell something, surely you'd try to make sure everything's in your favour..?

Maybe the vendor's just not that arsed. Got plenty money but no dictionary..... :D

Been away from the computer for an hour or so while the mrs catches up with farmville or something :?

Sorry to our worldwide audience, you should try living with the english language all the time :) I was out the other day and some girls were walking past me, one turned looked at me and said I had animal magnetism.. then one of the others said "well he repulsed at least half of us" :(

I have been trying to think where the e-bay school of photography thread would go and I cant think where on the site it should live, so I give up on that one.
