face Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Yes, rather an over-the-top reaction to a frankly daft question
scooters Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Judging by the standard of his English he is also a cretin
Peter C Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 EBAY IS FULL OF KNOB HEADS He has a point there.
scooters Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 EBAY IS FULL OF KNOB HEADS He has a point there. Indeed and he also spelt 'knob' correctly
messerschmitt owner Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 how ironic that he talks about knob heads!It is a nice early 126 too!
Bren Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 To be fair, it is better to display that attitude - at least all the dickheads will not bother asking stupid questions and hopefully go and mither someone else. I should know, I cancelled an auction on fleabay because of the questions being asked by the cretins who were watching - I could see somebody winning the auction then pulling out. By that point I could'nt be arsed.
Cavcraft Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Fair enough he's right about the mingebags on eBay but he'll put people off bidding typing like that. Let him send it over the bridge, it's only a car.
RoadworkUK Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Oh blimey. I'm about to list my Alfa on the bay, this has brought it all flooding back about how many horrible timewasting scrotes there are, both buying and selling. I was going to ask for just over two grand for it, but I might just cut my losses and throw it off a cliff. Less hassle
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I think it's a perfectly reasonable reply to an unbelievably stupid question. As has been said, it's better to put out a beligerent 'FUCK OFF IDIOTS/TIMEWASTERS message now. If I were after an early 126, it wouldn't put me off at all. I would recongnize a seller as a Man after my own heart tbh. I would be winning the auction and sending a recovery bloke down to pick it up ASAP with cash in hand. But I'm not a timewasting idiot (or after a grotbag 126), alas.
retro80sboy Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 what kind of idiot though would actually think it would get them from Telford to Scotland!
Cheggers Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 what kind of idiot though would actually think it would get them from Telford to Scotland! Piece of piss!! - Just pop it in your rucksack and take it on the train
dollywobbler Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, I can sympathise too. Twunts do drive people to distraction. Roadworks - CX sale was hassle free, so it's not like every sale has idiots, though one or two did ask questions... Hi, I have always wanted one of these, therefore as I am in a generous mood, I want to offer you in exchange my lovely fantastic- 2001 Starlight Silver, Rover 75 (best Rover ever) Classic 2.0 SE, 24v Quad Cam, all the goodies, spaceship interior, only 90k mls, 3 owners and full Service book, how can you refuse a swap, I can send pics to wet your appetite, Value around £1500+ Bye Bye for now Dave How can I refuse? Easily! I don't like failed head gaskets. Plus, I've bought a Land Rover and am therefore forever more skint. Thanks though!It isn't the best Rover ever though. That my friend is the Rover P6B, preferably in Tobacco Leaf. Ha you are the joker, although being 60 i have had more P6s than you my FRIEND not, you obviously are the HEAD GASKET case. I couldn't really think of a way to respond to that last point.
chaseracer Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 The best way was to ignore it completely, as you did.
Bren Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 He knows what he is doing - the timing belt on these is due at 90K - and it's a six hour job.....
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Ha you are the joker, although being 60 i have had more P6s than you my FRIEND not, you obviously are the HEAD GASKET case. I couldn't really think of a way to respond to that last point. "So, you're 60 years old and you're a) till messing around with worthless junk like the 75, and you haven't got the cash to by my CX? Sorry, I should have put 'no penniless old farts' in my ad. Sincere apologies for the confusion, Grandad." Would that have sufficed?
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 This 126 guy is not an utter 'W*****R' (seven letters?) at all.
autofive Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 This guy is not an utter 'W*****R' (seven letters?) at all. Winkler?
worldofceri Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 HERE WE HAVE A FIAT 126 BEEN DRY STORED LAST 10 YRS,HAD A NEW ENGINE IN THEN,BODY RUFF,SPARES OR REPAIR,NO LOG BOOK,IF NOT SOLD MAY BREAK BUT BE QUICK WE NEED THE ROOM SO WILL BE CRUSHED,THANKS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------On 06-Jan-11 at 18:53:34 GMT, seller added the following information: HI JUST TO LET EVERY1 NO I HAVE CANCELED THE 1ST BIDDER AS HE ASNT GOT A TRAILOR AND ASKED IS IT MOTED SO HE CAN DRIVE IT BACK TO SCOTLAND,EBAY IS FULL OF KNOB HEADS,LOOK AT THE PICS PEOPLE DOES IT LOOK LIKE IT COULD DRIVE TO SCOTLAND,ITS BEEN STOOD 10YRS,AS STATED IN ADD,IT WILL NOT BE LISTED AGAIN IF IT DONT SELL IT WILL BE SQUASHED AND I WILL RE LIST IT BACK ON HERE WITH BEFORE AND AFTER PICS,WITH IT FLAT AS A PANCAKE,THANKS Hang on a minute lads. Doesn't sound to me like this here cancelled bidder/ebay messer was necessarily out of line. First of all the advert extends to just one sentence over a half line and a half, all written in CAPITAL LETTERS. Hardly an exhaustive description. He said originally that it has been 'dry stored' which could still mean that it is still taken out and used every now and again. He doesn't actually state that it has no MoT so why is it a problem if someone asks? Why not just say 'Sorry, no MOT, you'll need to borrow a trailer. If you can't do that try shiply.co.uk'? Having said that, it would clearly not drive to Scotland from Telford. But if you're unable to communicate effectively in the first place that's no reason to spit your dummy out as soon as someone misunderstands you.
worldofceri Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 ...he also spelt 'knob' correctly However, he misspelt 'everyone' (EVERY1), 'know' (NO), 'cancelled' (CANCELED), hasn't (ASNT) and trailer (TRAILOR). I must remember to get a life.
eddyramrod Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I must remember to get a life. Actually no, Ceri, you are right! Don't let sloppy English take over the world! Fight the good fight for genuine words correctly used, I'm right beside you. Shoulder to shoulder and all that. Fine pair of shoulders there lovely boy, show 'em off, show 'em off...

I must remember to get a life. He sounds exactly like every salvage dealer and most scrap dealers I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. Most are utterly thick and have a horrible attitude.

Sloppy English and 'txt tlk' gets right on my tits big time.
