I love this update

On 16-Dec-03 at 10:21:36 GMT, seller added the following information:

Guess what? One of our cats has just pissed on it. Honest. Buyer to bring rubber gloves. Oh, and if you find this fair and honest attack on Ebay's more intellectually challenged members amusing, and you really want to show your appreciation, you can click on the cafeshops link above and buy a crappy mug or Tshirt. Better than bidding a fiver and leaving me still in possession of this thing.

I love to see ebay used as a rant forum...

So what is this heap good for? Beats the hell out of me. For the last two years it has been used as a ground anchor for my trailer. That’s right, I’ve kept it because it’s just a large heavy lump of pig iron that prevents something rather more valuable[1] being stolen. You may find a better use for it, but I never have.

[1] Like a child's plastic tricycle.

Edit: Upon further review I noticed a U-Lock on the front wheel...priceless

Too fuckin much , I LOVE this guys honesty. I had my Jeep up on Yahoo over the summer and had some similar wording (though my Jeep aint a POS wreck) I got a couple replies that were valid (and a few of them lovely offshore vultures) As I look out my window , Jeep is still here. A couple of the interested parties were 16yr old girls looking for a "cute car" when they found out what it costs just to put tires on the damn thing , they ran like hell. (btw 4 35 in tires go for around $1k)

from Yahoo News today N.Y. Uses EBay to Sell Surplus Property

"The U.S. Post Office also sells undeliverable items" on eBay, Donlay said.

My, aren't there some clever little mammals on Ebay? Quite apart from the hundreds of would-be comedians who are asking "How much for the SuperSoaker?", thereby proving that, yes, they have the visual acuity of, and can read web pages about as well as, a one-eyed rhinoceros peering through the wrong end of a telescope, there are the timewasting bidders. All sellers get plagued by these, and meowmix3001 has now just been pushed over the edge of Bid Cancel Canyon. Fortunately he (this type is invariably male) landed on his head, so no vital organs were damaged. What's the joke, meowmix3001? Does being 4000 miles away make it OK to waste people's time? How many other Ebay items have you bid on, with no intention of buying? I bet the other bidders are now crapping themselves - you may think you're safe, several bids down the ladder, but if I cancel more bids your own will be dragged into the light. And trust me, I will insist on payment or the alternative of very negative feedback and an NPB filing......

Too funny!
