the only thing funnier than the item is its description... my favorite passage is "amp then did not work no more." hasn't the seller passed third grade yet? (sorry, that was mean.)

Oh, definitely the description is what makes it great - combined with the pic of the melted speaker terminals and the opening bid.

My favorite line was:

WE REMOVE THE TOP PIECE TO LOOK INSIDE AND WE LOSED IT SO IS MISSING THE TOP PIECE

I know... it's like David Sedaris wrote the item description ("me talk pretty one day").

supposedly 23% of U.S. adults barely have the reading/writing skills to make it through a job application. dunno how true that is, but clearly a lot of people are falling through the cracks of the U.S. educational system (and some post items for sale on eBay)....

It's probably more like what happens when I try to speak Spanish....

I guess I should have clarified that I just loved the story and the charred ruins of a picture. And I love people that "lose" things like the top cover of a large piece of equipment. Must have slipped down between the cushions of the sofa.

The whole thing reads like fun, even the questions, are those guys really interested in this or just poking some fun at this seller?

The kind of things people try to sell eh? Yes this is Ebay and you can sell anything, even your grandma, so why not give it a try, if it makes a few bucks it was worth its try.

Strange world we live in, and it is not getting any better!!!
