    Judging by the lettering used in the description and the colour of the laptop, the seller has zero colour taste as default. I bet they own a turquoise car as well.

    I'm amazed that anyone has bid at all based on such a 'comprehensive' description.:rotfl:
    What is happening to the English Language? These are not isolated, but repeated every day.
    'Definate', 'Aswell', 'Rediculous', 'Payed'...and the best of all 'Could Of'. How can anyone think that 'Could Of' can actually mean anything. You may as well write 'Could Zebra' for all the sense it makes.

    this item was put on by our daughter

    I may be mean, but I'd report them for underage users.
    I mean if their daughter can list then she can bid.... you know the npb excuses that would go on then.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    It is a kids toy type laptop, no internet connection, and bad colour choice.

    Not even the name of the laptop so you can google it, let alone any detail of what is actually on it, other than "kids games."
