Pet advertisment hate....
Discussion
I probably need slapping down here but.......
Why oh why oh why do so many people stick that crass phrase in their 'for sale' advert
'First to see will buy.' Or, as I saw the other day, Furst to c will buy'.
For me, it always says the wrong thing about what they are trying to sell and actually puts me off seeing it.
Or is it just me?

I quite liked this one i found ON EBAY today - caps lock by OP:
THE BAD BITS, NOT MUCH REALLY. OF COURSE ITS NOT HPI CLEAR (BUT THIS DID NOT WORRY ME) THERE IS SOME SCRATCHES ON THE SILENCER BUT I WASN'T GOING TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE ITS A GOOD ONE AND NOT BADLY SCRATCHED, AND THE IS A DENT ON THE TANK RIGHT SIDE AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE NOT SURE IF IT CAN BE SEEN IN MAIN PICTURE, ITS KNUCKLE SIZE WHERE A HEAVY BAR FELL OFF THE SHELVE (GRRRRRR) THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF CORROSION (MOST WILL CLEAN OFF) AND SOME STONE CHIPS ON THE BLACK ENGINE PAINT
Not HPI clear? What could possibly go wrong???

And another one....
This time from an aeroplane advert. The aeroplane in question is fitted with one of the dodgiest engines to be designed in recent years and has major cooling issues, valves getting chewed and generally giving out at critical times. To make matters worse, this particular aeroplane has the engine at the rear so it receives even less airflow to keep it cool. Quotes include:
This is a very reluctant sale on behalf of the owner - eh??
Fitted with one of the last made late model manual tappit, large head engines renowned as the best Jabiru to have - its all relative
I am confident first to see will purchase - err...nope.
On the upside, you can purchase this for less than the price of a new R1 and enjoy playing twist or stick every time for real you go for a flight! Bargain.
