No nightmare, but if that seller's ability to write coherently equals the care he uses for his junk, I wouldn't touch that for any amount of money.

I skip those ads like they're not there.....after I laugh.

I'd make some comment about that being stolen, but I doubt he can manage to find the door to leave the house.

With one guy I had to spell out the name of my road (Palace Avenue) and I literally had to wait two seconds between each letter... "P.... ..... A... . .. .... L......." etc. Then get a call back from his wife half an hour later asking my address because her husband couldn't understand. Although in his case it wasn't illiteracy, he just couldn't really speak English.

Worked out because I managed to sell the thing before the second call.

I see these kind of ads all the time on CL.
I am just thankful that there's a way to tell who not to deal with.
