classic ebay ad!

[jmethodrose]

just saw this on another forum (arbtalk.co.uk), thought I'd post it here for anyone who wants a laugh. Read through to the last paragraph, it's worth it!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220587691557&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3907.m38.l1313%26_nkw%3D220587691557%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

That's just LMAO funny! I could name a dozen long term AS members who might write just such a paragraph.

Here's the last paragraph: Finally I don't expect to sell a single one of these, but if I do I want you as a buyer to know that I as a seller couldn't give a monkey's what you think about the item. I'm happy with it which is why I decide to sell it. If you don't like it - tough. You're an adult, so you should be able to take responsibility for your decisions. If you can't and you're the type of modern day **** who blames everything on someone else and thinks daytime tv chat shows are educational, then don't buy from me.

Classic.

Q: Hi, do you have a picture of the device? Thanks.
A: No, that would be giving my idea away.

I guess the guy never heard of a patent.

I just sent him a message asking why he doesn't just pattent his brilliant idea. Can't wait to see his response.

I think there's already been an attachment around like this gentleman describes for years. When I was a kid my grandpa had a bolt-on thing that he used on a Pro-mac 55. It was basically a set of metal fingers that captured the branches of the hedge and held them in place while the chainsaw did its thing.

The word scam comes to mind

Ah, here's one.

Pics, please!

Ah, here's one.

I have one of those! they work good as long as your only cutting bigger stuff when the limbs get small they just fold and bind up the saw.

 

[StihlyinEly]

Pinemartin, love the handle and the sig quote. Lots of pine martens and dumbheads up here.

Thanks for the info, too. I don't know how many thousands of lineal feet of hedges I've trimmed over the years.
