Just seen; "I've tried to be as honest as I can".
So they've not been straight forward honest or even as honest as they can be (which in itself doesn't make sense).
No, they have tried to be as honest as they can but probably realised halfway through their advert that honesty is in fact not the best policy when
attempting to verbally polish a turd, therefore resigning themselves to actually being honest and admitting to everyone that they've tried to be
as honest as they can......but didn't quite manage it!
Any others?
*insert colour* - 'the best colour'.
Erm, I'll be the judge of that!

My two favorites (In so much they send me into a ranting spiral) are;
"90% Complete" Traditionally this means they have no idea how much work is involved
"Easily fixed for a few quid" What? If its easy to fix, why isn't it working?
"these are getting rare now"
"first to see will buy"
What about the "not {insert something which item is similar but isn't so it comes up in the search}"
i.e. Fiesta 1.1 not XR2
Or the bloody "L@@K"
Or how about "RARE" for something that is freely available
"not the usual rubbish"
'Advertised elsewhere' :-)
Also the {what you're looking for} wanted
The cars section is worst for that, sort by price and the first few pages are "We will buy your..."
Unable to test due to ......

I tested it and it didnt work properly so I'll get rid of it on Ebay
"small scratches which could probably come out with a good mop." - I tried T cut and it didn't work so really needs completely running down and respraying
`1 careful owner' - not me , may have been the first one , or any of the previous 23...........
The one that annoys me is when you are looking for a car part and you find one with a low buy it now price, but when you open the post it says
something like "if you click 'buy it now' you will purchase a nut and bolt only".
Normally the prices are so low that its obvious that it cannot be the part that your looking for, but it can make it really frustrating to sort on
lowest price first.
The other one is multiple posts of exactly the same (usually very simple) item but with a different make or model of car attached to it. These can
run to hundreds of pages in some cases
