POINTLESS classified ads.

For me the actual worst is when people use generic photos for their adverts.

For example, they are selling a Scott Foil and they take the image of the bike of the Scott website and use that. I would rather they have no image, because I can be certain the bike isn't the one in the photo.

 

PS. Not much of this happens on the hub, but its all over gumtree. 

And when they copy/paste the description of the bike from the website... FML...!

Yip! Those have a tendacy to irritate me; but this RESPONSE to ads even more: "If only it was a large"....(seriously?? What if it was,..would you buy it, immediately?)

In some cases "yes" if the item was as advertised. In others it would make me think long and hard, and do some serious number crunching.

coz the iPad takes decent quality pics ,then they become to large to download. You have to place ad then edit and add more photos then it lets you place decent quality pics.

 

 

 

 

 

Edit spelling

Even my phone pics are too large. And I have a 3310. Its not apple...

Price? To be arranged...

That just tells me they're saying, "I have no idea what this should sell for" or, "I hope you don't know how little this should go for and offer way more".

I've often been tempted to start the bidding at 1 cent even though I don't want the item...

Makes me think of that joke..

I got a new iPhone, got my son a new iPad, my daughter a new iPod...and my wife a new iRon....;)

 

Personally, I do like my Apple devices, and I was not a fan until I had a bad experience with Samsung phones (though nothing beats Samsung TV's).

Though having said that, it is like anything in life, other people have had the reverse.

 

At the end of the day, whether we choose iOS, Android, Windows RT/Phone/Mobile we're all using the device at a fraction of its abilities. ;)

OK,

 

I was guilty of this with my Forerunner 910XT, at least I added a downloaded pic off the web until I had a chance to take pics of the actual unit (which is still listed FYI  :ph34r: ) and the ad has been edited accordingly.

There's no 'Jigghead' in team. Unless of course, it's a team of cheerleaders...  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:
