Why have you not answered questions 1 & 2. I think "Will it fit in me Corsa" is a perfectly acceptable question and deserves an appropriate answer.

Something like "Only if it has low profile tyres"
Or ask him if it's a convertible.

You could have hours of fun........

No, it's not just you. I'm selling a load of mini tuning bits all saying local pick up is preferred. Every other question is about postage to foreign countries. One guy wants me to send a mini cylinder head to Malaysia!! According to Royal Mail, it will cost £160!!

if you find out what a "hunrt" is then please tell,

andy

Showed my wife this one, she reckons hunrt might just be "unit", as in bedroom unit which I think does make sense of what this illiterate was trying to say. May be its a really bad case of fat fingers. Any one with a better idea, please post as I just couldn't make any kind of sense of it at all and I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks.

My best guess, looking at the keyboard and factoring in fat fingers and the intelligence of a small pork pie is........

unit

Could be, might just as easily be cloud or dumpling though.

Cheers

Chris

EDIT Damn too slow!!!

hunrt = unit

Pronnounced 'hoon-art' in a Vicky Pollard accent?


EDIT - even slower!

I think (hope) you are dealing with someone whose first language is not English.

^^^ With the name Nicola (nicola) she does sound English (english), unfortunately.

"my daght needs room in bedroom becasuse i have just bought her a new hunrt for her room and with two single beds she as no room and she is two hold for bunk beds "

Can't get my head round this It looks like she has reproduced more than once and has two siblings in the same bedroom? she then goes and buy's? a new hunrt for the bedroom, but, she hasn't got room for it???
That's what you call forward planning

Nicola Larini (Sp?) was italian wasnt he??

should be put down in early years.

scammers, idiots, time wasters, etc, it used to be much better

I hate Selling on Ebay, or the internet in general. But its gets the widest audience. I sold my Celica, listed everything, terms etc. The amount of muppets asking for a drive? can I deliver? What discount for cash? (like I accept credit cards or postal orders) Would I swap for a chavved up Corsa / Saxo. How fast does it go? Will I sell just the wheels? I've learnt just to ignore the idiots now.

One thing that I have learned is not to limit myself to UK-only - with the value of the pound at the moment, you can make excellent money selling to bidders in Eurozone countries - and most of them are happy to pay for the postage too - £30 to send a pair of shoes to Italy might seem exorbitant, but its bugger all to someone paid in Euros.
