The ad is hilarious. crgaston Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 70 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2006 - 6:53 pm:    That is one seriously disillusioned dude. The Q&A are awesome, too.

So what was so funny? crgaston Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 72 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, February 09, 2006 - 8:59 pm:    Adriaan, Basically the dude was trashing ebay and the scammers there after apparently having been ripped off a few times. The content and tone of the ad was absurd and sarcastic to the point of qualifying as a borderline autistic rant, and is basically impossible to duplicate accurately. He was serously frothing at the mouth. It's too bad it's gone, as the listing's removal seems to validate some of his gripes... plus it was funny as heck. j_gary Intermediate Member Username: j_gary Post Number: 180 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Friday, February 10, 2006 - 10:19 am:    The crazy part was that people were bidding on a bass that did not exist. Even after he repeatedly stated there was no bass. Man it's scary out there.
