I hate the phrase "job lot"

Goldiegirl

To me a 'job lot' is a big pile of things.

However, I've recently sold some things, and some of them are best sold as a group of between 3 and 6 items.

As I said earlier in this thread, there may be people who search for job lots.

I also dislike the term job lot, but I want to try and get as many search hits as I can.

So I use the term 'small lot'. Hopefully it gives the impression that it's a collection of things but it's only a small collection!

We're selling some "job lots" on Ebay just now, a few piles of DVDs and CDs. The only other ones we've done are for things that go together (games, gaming accessories etc.). I wouldn't get together a pile of !!!! and put it as a job lot, though.

Like when they're selling a cheap vacuum and put "like a Dyson" or whatever to grab everyone searching for Dysons. I am also annoyed by "job lot" and "bundle" when it's shorts and a t shirt, that's not a job lot, at best is an outfit.

Or "Brand new", then further down it says "only worn a couple of times..."

SERIOUSLY?!?!

That type of thing annoys me too. Seen mobile phones that have been used for months but as it was just a temp phone to them or they didn't like it and it perhaps has a case and/or screen protector they put it as new or new (other) rather than used.
