Seems you will be bidding on front and rear seats. Or if you want only the front or rear seats, and also a center console that somehow is for a manual instrument cluster if there was such a thing. Apparently it plays instrumentals as well. Seems like a bargain for $1.

Well I don't know mate, seriously I don't think the person who wrote that has enough grasp of the written English language to comprehend whatever you wrote to them. Not trying to be mean, but yea...

Oh well, at least I wasn't pushing four letter insults this time...
Be interested to see if he/she/it post's it under "Questions from other members" in the listing. Although somehow I'm amazed how they've actually succeeded in completing a listing...

Just looked into it more. I hate this new eBay feedback fortmat, but you've got to give it to him, 28 items sold and 100% feedback. Best I start dumbing down.

That advert sure takes some reading.

Hey, maybe it is a really clever marketing ploy?

I am a Moderator on the Rock'n'Roll forum at www.vicrock.com.au. Many of our members also struggle with English composition, spelling and grammar.

I wish they would take up the suggestion of writing postings in Word first and then pasting the final product into the forum form. :

Either that or force FF2 upon everyone - it has its own inbuilt spellchecker

Quite useful I think.

It isn't that hard to comprehend.

"You are bidding on: Front and/or rear seats, centre console for manual transmission, instrument cluster with only 80,000km`s on it. Everything is in immaculate condition. There's not a mark on them. Photos are available through email to serious bidders only. Please dont waste my time. If you have any further queries you can contact me via email or telephone."

Personally, I'd be more worried about the stuff being stolen than the guy's grammar.

My concern would be firstly his comment on reserving the right to withdraw, and secondly his 0 feedback score.

Ended up going for $100

As long as the sale actually goes through, and it is what the ad says, then someone got themselves a nice little bargain!
