I like your pun, but those are foxgloves....

Aw. ...knew someone would point that out. I just couldn't think of a foxglove pun.  :-[

Nice pictures, but the wrong pictures for what they are selling.  Don't they know what they are doing anymore?

This photo must have been taken on a boat in choppy waters.....

This photo looks like it was taken at the moment they took a tumble in the dark.   :-\

The auction on this valuable oil can turned into a junk lamp is ending in 3.5 hours so rather than posting it in Auction Talk, it is being posted here in that the seller posted his eBay images sideways or out of focus - and who really needs to see that the bulb actually lights up.

Current bid is $105 (with 3 bids).

I think the item for sale is on the table, can't read it. Seller says it's a brass retro part "Meant to be soldiered or epoxyed in place."

Regarding odd descriptions:  Long before eBay, my area had a free newspaper called the Buyer's Digest, which ran classified ads for all kinds of items.

One memorable issue had listings for an "Olds Tornado" that "runs good", and a ".30-06 Mouser", which is definitely not the best way to solve a rodent problem.

It seems this party always takes poor photos and doesn't crop but, I can see the object perfectly.
If you can't maybe it has something to do with my colorblindness?

Just stumbled across an auction for a 302. Only one picture so I am not sure.

Look through the window, down, to the right and behind the stack of 'Photographer of the Year' magazines.
