I saw that too. I don't expect everyone to type perfect as I do not do it myself, but come on. They're trying to sell something, you would think people would try harder to write a decent description.

You can use it all you want, no credit required.

I have no clue what a "power well" is and don't really care. His end of the gene pool is just to shallow for me.

Yup. Believe it or not, I've seen that morphism in other do-it-yourself adverts, both on eBuy and Crag's Lust. 8)

In all fairness, the guy's probably from someplace other than the east coast - maybe the middle coast of da Nam, which by the way, is an excellent place to order a multi-weld Vespa bodgefest, complete with coffee can lid engine shims, two color candy apple enamel, and two penny nails for axle fasteners.

Casting the first stones, are we? :lol: We all make mistakes. :shock:

But in all seriousness, that's a pretty bad write up. I've seen that all over. My favorite is always the guy who puts up the blurriest photos you've ever seen for his item.

LOL, note the trailer park in background.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

There are mistakes and then there are indicators that someone's school attendance was limited or the gene pool was very shallow in their background or both. I get the feeling it's both in this case. :roll:

I won't call but I will ask a question....


"I speak and read English as my first language, I also speak and read 7 other languages. But no matter how hard I try, I can't understand what your description is trying to say. What language is this in?"

That's what I wrote, now who's next?
