eBay ANSWER of the week

Recommended Posts

*not me*

 

Question from "hiyh" for RAREST $$ Nintendo DS download station games Vol. 2 NFS, one of the first of these to come up on eBay. This is a rather texty auction from amos_82, a seller with 1700+ feedback.

 

Hi amos_82, I'm sure you'll get some interest in this one. If possible, could you send some pictures to [email protected]? If you're interested in a BuyItNow for this item, please let me know. Take care, -hiyh

 

And the classic answer:

 

No buy it now, and I don't think I will need any pictures for this item. I am expecting at least 500 unique hits and a bid of close to $200 for this JEW!! Thanks for offering though.

 

No bids from me.

:roll:

Well, he's 1/10th of the way to 500 hits...

 

I'm surprised someone with that high of a feedback doesn't understand the value of photos. Or maybe he does and he doesn't want anyone to see it for some weird reason...

Yeah, I thought the same thing. And I'm also guessing he meant to call the game a "jewel," and not rather derisively call the potential buyer a "JEW!!".

It's amazing how the English language is constantly butchered in auction listings and correspondence between buyers and sellers. It's actually kind of sad too.

I emailed a seller and asked for pix of an item last week. Their response...

 

"...give me your email address so I can send you the pix."

 

:? :? :? :? :?

I'm thinking he meant JEW, not JEWEL. Better still, he posted that response right on the page for all to see. I'd bet that's enough to get the auction shut down.
