Favorite quotes from this ad...
"I'VE BEEN OFFERED $1,500 by TONS of Antiques, but I didn't want to sell it then. SO THIS IS A GREAT DEAL."

When the Antiques start talking and making offers it is time for me to get out of the business....

"
AFTER REFERRING TO eBAY ITEMS WOULD TOTAL WELL OVER $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Makes no sense at all

"ALSO HAVE A SINGER SEWING MACHINE AS WELL THAT'S FOR SALE AS WELL."

Well, that is certainly good news...


I'm partial to...
"IM PRETTY SURE IT WORKS AND JUST NEEDS A TUNE UP."

How do they know if it works if they don't know which side is the front???

This is my pet peeve, all the photos of machines backwards on CL and sometimes GW !
I know small thing but it bugs me :)

Doesn't honk me off near as much as the bank stealing money...

LOL Miriam. Maybe that is the problem with all of these ads. Ah, if it were only that simple.
Windblown, It is one of my biggest pet peeves too. Another one is that they have an ad for a machine and only show the cabinet.
Hang in there Miriam. And when you talk to them next tell them that Jesse James used to do that too but he had to use a gun.

Or the stuff WE put in the water has not worn off yet... hehe

They were injecting it intravenously I suppose.

AH - don't start that one... I have direct deposit from my job and I have messed up the on line program so bad I have to go to the bank to find out if I have any money. I just wish they would send some kind of paper out once in a while tells how much money I make... Kind of depressing. Who knows how much money the bank has stolen. I think I just need to use a sock.
