New eBay record for lies in a single listing?

Post by Mumbleypeg »

Here’s an eBay listing with at least five lies in the listing’s title alone. “vintage Case Tested 1920-1940 Knife goldstone, Near Mint”.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/800191188940?_ ... l4CV%2B%2F K6H2toY%2BMOoM9fMAk3LNjssh6%2BkGHmq6Nk5FP8F%2Fx4D15qkkKe%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9Cm5_bcZw&LH_ItemConditio n=3000

It’s not vintage, not Case Tested, not 1920-1940, not goldstone, and not “near mint”. But it is a knife. With a BIN price (OBO) of $300!!!

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Thank goodness we were spared a detailed description.

Used to be that if sellers didn't know they didn't say. I used to say ignorance is bliss but I'm afraid it is now prevalent on eBay.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

But it could " be buffed to mint" couldn't it? That has to be my all time favorite Ebay claim. Such egregious lies about knives on Ebay are getting to be the norm.
