BHM 994 Posted December 29, 2017 I recall a couple of years ago I managed to offend one of the Sunday night ebay email brigade with some honesty on an absolutely filthy old Subaru Forester with a tragically soiled & damaged interior (the car was £999 when it booked retail at £2500ish - I only got in it once). No swearing, no deceit, nothing that could be misleading, just good old fashioned truth. He asked what was the mess on the seats, along with a statement of what he expected! (In other words, a greedy bastard). So I answered truthfully along the lines of I’m not 100% sure but I suspect it’s a mix of dog urine, vaginal juice & seminal fluid but at this price whatever’s there is for free. Yet another punter ungrateful for 100% honestly. Funnily enough the man who bought it sent a transport company but he didn’t give a stuff & emailed thanking me for his nice car I remember him saying it was to replace his knackered Morris Minor Traveller for his dogs!! His Minor must of been f***ing rough!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
