Charming example of the type of language that is necessary when dealing with eBay. This amused me greatly.
ha-ha!

Excellent!
Do not taunt happy fun dead inert primerless brass.
What I find disturbing is that somebody is apparently willing to shell out twenty bucks for fifty cents worth of brass and a stripper clip.
This is a better read than the guy who sold the wedding dress awhile back. The other guy had better pictures, though.
Is it really that overpriced?
OMG, that is fantastic! Is this guy a Doper? His turn of phase, sarcasm, humor and references to Monty Python all suggest that he is or at least should be. I am so tempted to write and ask him if the “bullets* can be fired,” but I’m afraid his appropriately vitriolic response would cause my head to explode. Plus it would be cruel.
- Yes, I really know the difference between and bullet, a casing and an ammunition round, but think calling them “bullets” would add to the effect.
His huge disclaimer’s a hoot as well:
this disclaimer was packed full, contents may have settled during mailing; may explode if incinerated (joke – really); smoking this disclaimer may be hazardous to your health; if ingested, do not induce vomiting, if symptoms persist, consult an auctioneer; possible penalties for early withdrawal; one size fits all; this disclaimer is valid only at participating auction sites
