    Just tell them "It's suitable for your 89yr old granny if you have enough money to pay for it"
    Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.

    I think you are being a little pedantic!!

    At least someone is interested in it, no matter how silly the question may be!!

    Some bikes are sold by age! Wouldn't you rather be asked then for people to not bother then no sale?

    Just say you can only give the measurements!!

    No offence but there really is no need to be arrogant!!!

    :confused: who's being arrogant ? :confused:

    The car that you are selling....is it suitable for me ? :confused:

    If I asked you that you'd think it was a daft question too !

    Stupid Ebay Answers:

    I once asked a seller what size a vase was (the resale value for a 6" and 9" differed by about £300).

    Her reply:
    "Hi there! Yea it's quite big! Lots of Love!!" :rolleyes:

    edit: On that note I'm becomming increasingly disturbed by the familiarity of some ebayers in their response to questions - I had one yesterday who ended her email with
    "Thinking of you
    XXX"
    :confused:

    i find myself signing off with a kiss at the end of my name :o It's because I do this on certain forums.

    I'm sure I've done it without realising and deleting. Must wonder why they deserve a kiss :D

    ... If the bike is secondhand, it might help to mention the size of its previous owner, if known.
    Not if the previous owner has outgrown it and that is why it is for sale. :D

    "I thought you told me this bike was suitable for a 6 foot man."

    "No, I told you I was a 6 foot man who owned a bike"
