What a waste of ink!

[Baltimore]

as Collectors we read through lie after line of descriptions from sellers.

Do some of the descriptions make you think?

1. from a smoke free home.

2. A pet free home!

Who cares if they have an elusive item? Perhaps I am just scratching the surface.

What are your irritating words?

Am I missing something?

RARE

MINT CONDITION...especially when the photo shows the item has either folds, wof, punch holes

"no obvious faults" --- so worded to cover a multitude of sins I always suspect

My pet hate is someone buying something on EBay for a small amount and knocking on the door to pay for it..

Oh Barry,

I can picture the scene........you and the missus have just sat down to watch Songs of Praise, when the Doorbell rings!

Cue.....Victor Meldrew......

The one bloke (Villa fan) from Erdington caught the train from Birmingham to ROYAL Sutton Coldfield walked the mile or so to my retirement home.
He rang the bell at 7pm and asked for his Ebay Items 2 Aston Villa fanzines £1.99 Each. POST FREE
Giving me £5 i had no change i had to say to him can you leave the £5 and i will send you the rest by post (£1). His reply was can i come in and look throught your fanzines as i have the money to buy another one off you.

Anyhow 2 hours later (Only joking) I told him to be on his way as I was going to watch the match on at 8pm.. He replied do you mind if i come in and watch it with you.. BLOODY CHEEK If it was a nimble young wench I might have considered but a 55 year old Umpa Lumpa alcoholic seal fan .
NO CHANCE ..

I'm not sure which would be more disturbing - it actually happening or the mind of someone who would make it up

Its little wonder you'd see "NO PERSONAL CALLERS" on adverts years ago.

I have just bid on a programme I need with an excessive £2 P&P tag for second class delivery.

In the wording he says I can have signed for delivery if I "pay extra"!

I hope I win the programme as I will enjoy giving feedback on the postage costs - do they have a no star option?

1. RARE..................normally 99p !!!!
