Think this Ebay guy is a little upset...

I thought this was hilarious, this guy is obviously having a little difficulty getting serious bidders, a good laugh...

That is good It's too bad that more people don't find such joy in communicating.

The engine has compression and turns over, but the speedo mileage of 46,000 suggests that it was used by a Knowledge Boy with severe learning difficulties....

Speaking of which, this is a re-listing because the winning bidder last time was a decerebrate turnip who was able to click on buttons and hit the numbers keys, but unable to read web pages...

Welcome to our Quadrant of the Galaxy. Beep. Yes, we play rough on Planet Earth sometimes...

For the benefit of anyone else who has the navigational skills of a pigeon with a magnet strapped to its forehead, this bike is in Sutton, south-west London. For the Yanks, that's London, England, near Russia. Not London, New Jersey, nor New London, Connecticut.

Markclock, you are mad. I trust you're genuine, but the fact that (at the time of writing this) you've bid £26 quid for this suggests that you only have twice the brains of astragsi999, who bid £51 before the smear left by his finger on the screen stopped at the point: Location, Sutton, United Kingdom/London. And as astragsi999 has a certifiable IQ in single figures, this is not a good sign. If you win this, and then let me down, I shall send the SAS to put itching powder in your underpants drawer.

Same goes for other comedians, except that my vengeance will be worse as the bids increase. They're already 25 quid more than this thing is worth
Wonderful. So the Feckwit Quotient is increasing. I have a theory that the cheaper and crappier an auction item, the greater number of imbeciles it attracts.

The current high bidder has just emailed me to say he made a mistake in his bidding.

Jesus. All you have to do is read Ebay's instructions, click on a button, and type in a figure. There are people out there who, on this basis, can't even use a microwave oven without a quantifiable risk of burning their hands off at the wrist.

And from the sound of his username, he's 250 miles away, but hey!? Maybe he was conceived on a wet and wind-blasted island off North Wales? Anglesey0, I'm cancelling your bid unless, as politely requested, you get back to me with full name, address, contact numbers and an assurance that you're not as dim as your illiterate email suggests.

In fact, I've just checked the bid history. I should have done that earlier. Lookathat! Four bidders, and three of them zero feedback. The bad news for you, Markclock, is that if I bar the current geezer, this bike is going to be your problem.


Man that is funny...

I like that the auction had almost 90,000 hits according to the counter...

Classic!

Love the comment about Monty Python's parrot- "This parrot is deceased, he is no more, ....hello, Polly!!" as he beats it on the counter...

He's got another one too

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=2448756945

And, blinking as their dulled reflexes try to cope with the light, and their rudimentary nervous systems try to make sense of the complexities of an on-line auction, out they come.... the first bidder is in the US of A.

No, the SuperSoaker isn't included. Nor the plastic bowl, spare wheel for my trailer or indeed the wall behind the wreck, which is in fact the side of my house.
THIS BIKE DOES NOT GO. IT DOES NOT RUN.
