I think I developed ADD just looking at the ad. Couldn't read past the first line, had to walk away. I paid $70 for one that's 10 years newer, and it came with an original HC and a motor kit...

Perhaps we need a rating system for these ads.
I know someone is going to come up with something better...

Dumb (1)
Stupid (2)
Unique (3)
Outer space (4)
I don't know but we do need a system of course...
Anyway... that... one... is... a... 10... whatever... it... is...

I started to read that ad but had to stop. It was going to give me a seizure.
I like your grading system Miriam. Who rates it? The person that posts the ad here or the people that see it here?
