    Oooh I have had a few, but the ones that spring to mind are -
    1 -" Is it possible for you to tell me if the Red in the red dress is Terracotta or wine?
    answer- it is red. red & red.
    2 -"is this item moth resistant ? "
    answer " ? !!! "
    This question was from a buyer who lived 120 miles away.
    3 -" can you forget the delivery charge and just send it on the local bus and I can collect it at the other end ? "
  • I had one AFTER the item was sold and recieved by the buyer. Auction was for 1 pair of jeans. Buyer wanted to know why they only recieved 1 and not 2. Then said auction was misleadng because I said "pair" of jeans. Tried to explain but was not getting through.:rolleyes:
    Wildly my mind beats against you, yet the soul obeys. :heartpuls

  • I love this thread. This is the best thing on this board in ages :D

    Well done to all the people out there who continue to ask bleeedin' obvious questions!
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.
