Hello i am a long time browser of this great site and 1st time poster, I do not know where to post this thread so please excuse me, This is a funny listing on ebay that i saw and had to post about.

I came across this listing today whist looking for collectable items and saw this eBay (replace the 3 middle dashes with dots)
www-ebay-co-uk/itm/110762173214?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p39 84.m1555.l2649
I could not stop laughing for half an hour and cannot work out if this guy is insane or joking. But its so funny and i had a great chuckle reading the description.

    It should be in the off topic section but I'm more concerned with why you felt the need to hide a YouTube URL behind the tinyurl one and on that basis I wouldn't like to visit it. Also, why do you feel the need to write in big blue letters?

        Sorry my mistake. Ebay.

        It doesn't make any difference though.

        Same question, why do you feel the need to shorten it? How does anyone know that links to Ebay? Think about it, you said you can't post links yet, so why change it to tinyurl? It's still a link. That doesn't make any sense.

        Anyway, at least you know this should be in the off topic forum for next time.

    What a colossal waste of time. I would think Ebay would pull that ad purely for stupidity reasons.
