I sent him a message say he had poor pictures and that his ad made my eyes hurt, I shouldn't have done but I was stuck in an abandoned mental institute in the dark (not kidding), I got this back.

"sure man,i guess you're right about the ads.i'm just a little too"creative"for my own good and fairly desperate for money y'know?

i know you're wrong about the photos(99% wrong anyway,almost to the decimal,based on all of my current ads statistics)because,excluding yourself,everybody has responded remarkably well to the photos and i've had no requests for more photos,where as with previous,more baron ads,i had plenty.one complaint to eighty(plus)compliments hardly feels like a failure to me.the ad got a lot of attension and,in all fairness,i probably scared most of them of personally through idol conversation.i tend to have that effect on people.

a man of your inteligence may have deduced that maybe the creator of such an ad has some form of learning disability or psychological problems but,for some reason,you seem to have missed that particular bus.

a trip to the opticians would probably do you wonders by the way.

also try having a more comfortable lux in the room you're using your computer monitor in.having low levels of surrounding light when using your computer causes major damage to the muscules in your eys and,if you were blind,you wouldn't have been able to "help" me and,to be frank, what would i have done without you?

i've sold a fair amount of stuff on here man,a lot of it for far more than its been worth,and the key to my success has been experimentation.adding,swapping,changing,editing,rewording,deleting and moving things around until it hits an apex of popularity,which my ads are never short of anyway.

in retrospect,i do apprecaite you reaching out,although i don't believe your intensions,on sending the message to me,where entirely honorable/for my benefit.

thanks anyway. bad feedback is feedback none the less and i like learning. if the minute percentage of the market that you reprisent to me has a problem with the ads, i will ofcourse adapt it further to accomodate.

i'm serious about the opticians though "buddy" ...and the lux...:) "

This is the worst eBay advert I have seen in a while:

[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fat-Boost-Pedal_W0QQitemZ160400500665QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item25589d67b9"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fat-Boost-Pedal_W0QQ...=item25589d67b9[/url]

They couldn't make it any more dodgy

Deep joy.

I've seen this listed a few times, but not been tempted! Not sure what a SB100 is but given it also seems to have a CE marking I guess this is one of the more recent efforts from China?

Not surprised that the last bidder bailed out. £165 should get you a real Japanese SGC Nanyo in a more acceptable colour.
