Absolutely! And even if the seller is 'foreign', he/she has been learning English from a cretin! ;)

Quite simple .... an OAP down the road is after a cheap electric cylinder mower, I've offered to see what I can find "pre-owned" .. E-bay is a good place to start .. then local papers etc etc as well as "freecycle"

However ... what you may not know about is this site ...

http://www.fatfingers.com/Default.aspx

It enables you to search ebay for "misspelt" adverts as many of these are never found and so have very few/low bids ... it can be both amusing and financially beneficial.

And by telling you lot I guess I've now let the cat even further out of the bag .... but I'm nice like that ....  :)

I think that happened to Google or was it the BBC News website,  when Michael Jackson died, or was it when Diana died.

That took a lot of time and effort. I have about 15 items on eBay, wished he would have written the descriptions for me. So funny :y :y :y
