The Best "Pointless" Sellers Conditions I Have Seen....

Second paragraph of the description, about responsibility and feedback.

I have seen some howlers but the sheer ignorance,arrogance and pompousness of this one takes the biscuit.

    Made me smile but do you think the title should be "how not to sell a car"????

    Well, all the ingredients are all there....

    Are car that isn't really the model being searched for (DTi not GSi), not the eBay account owner's to sell, daft comments in the description like that....

    I was not sure until I typed it and the Firefox spellchecker let it through.

    Pomposity would have also sufficed.

    Oh how I wish I could choose not to accept any poor feedback as well.

    Cloud cuckoo land.

    Does not seem to be attracting too many bids, have to say that having read that lot I would doubt if the car actually existed!

    I just wish I could afford to buy it just for the sake of leaving any form of negative feedback!

    It's true though. As he demands cash on pickup, the buyer has no recourse if the car breaks down, turns out stolen ect.
