People on eBay who think that bargain is spelled 'bargin'.

Is this some form of eBay recognised spelling that comes up better/faster/higher up the listings on the search function or are people just incredibly sickeningly stupid!

Boils my piss!!

And another thing.
"Bargain" should be higher alphabetically than "bargin".
It's just that they can't spell. IMO

We are the same.

If we need a translator to read the page, then we go no further.

And what's this 'show car' business all about?

Every time I click on something that's advertised as a 'show car' it ends up being a chavved up/customised/modified eyesore on wheels.

Just what do they mean by 'show car'?

You can tell a lot about sellers on ebay by their spelling/grammar.

if im lookin 4 a moterbike on ebay i aviod people that talk like this coz they dont have no pride in wot they do...

So why would they take any pride in their motorbike?

Usually pikeys or scumbags.

It means it's been Barried.

And other PH threads, when people refer to i this, and i that, its I, people.

And when they talk about something they own, its "Their", not "There".....

If the advert says 'First to see will buy', I don't bother looking.
