This made me laugh in a good way !

Post by poodling around »

I just thought that this was very funny.

The ebay seller says: 'Reselling due to time wasting enquiries, any questions please just ask'

Now if that isn't funny, I don't know what is !

What is it? I might inquire about it. Something along the lines of "Good evening, your photos are atrocious. What are you selling please? Hopefully you can describe in words what you have failed to present in photographs". :lol:

They should get an award for how bad they are. I mean, who is going to pay £250 for something invisible in a blurry cloudy picture?

Certainly poor photos.

At a guess, it might be an HMV 160, but I am really not sure ...

Equally funny is the £250 starting price with the reserve not met. The seller will not be trampled in the rush to purchase.

Instead of this 160, you could have bought a 161 for £1200!

Although I note the sellers of the latter have steadily dropped the price to £495 now........and not selling.

When asked to appraise it I suggested £150 wouldn't be out of the question because it is in such great condition but £1200?
