He say that he knows how to spell bass but doesn't do it, and he can't punctuate to save his life. In fact He can't write intelligent English at all. It sounds like he USED to be an IT professional,and is now failing as an ebay shop too, because he's stuck with that bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was trying to sell a Carlsboro rig for £1600. I mailed him and asked if he knew the meaning of the word 'irony' (well, he did kind of invite it ) and he accused me of sarcasm and reported me to Ebay.

tombboy Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) I sent him a message saying "Actually, I did have something more interesting to do with my time so I went and done that.... got bored, so I thought I'd send you a message. I'm so glad that you actually have the guitar 'here' ready to purchase. The amount of guitar sellars on ebay who seem to forget this important factor! I, personally wouldn't let anyone into my house either.... mind you, I live in Broadmoor which sort of restricts visitors but... ho hum! Also, can I spell it 'Bayse'? Just for a giggle? Thanks. 'I am a shop'????? f*** me, I was locked up just for saying I was a Tractor!!! Kudos to you pal!! You say I have to look at your shop profile to prove you are not an idiot................... I have seven f***ing psy-bloody-chiatrists still trying to fathom me out. If I'd known then that all it takes is an ebay account I'd be free to slaughter anybody at free will today!

budget bassist Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 brilliant tombboy! Also this guy's total ignorance made me laugh. Also the fact that he says he can spell the word "bass" properly... and then chooses not to. Illiteracy is cool, it's what all the kids are doing these days.

Golchen Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Personally, I don't trust people on eBay who can't spell or use reasonably correct grammar (that's the best I can hope for these days!). Most of your interaction in life involves someones perception of you, so a wise man uses every available angle to influence that moment. I have that guy's card marked as 'low IQ'.
