Hmm, it's in the UK. So _that's_ proper English? 😛

And using Wet Wet Wet as kind of marketing makes me want to punch this
one. Does no one know that their 'hit' is just another Troggs cover?


Seller implies that things recorded on this machine are bound to sell
a lot. Hmmm, might be enough for a lawsuit.

Actually a lot of merchants on eBay nowadays wants British pounds instead
of U.S. dollars. I think that's an effect of weaker U.S. dollar has done
to eBay industry....

Or perhaps it's the effect of ebay.co.uk instead of ebay.com

It's in Scotland, and it's _garbled_ English.
Reminds me of Bascule in 'Feersum Endjinn' by Iain M Banks.

Having finally gotten around to this one, you know I just HAD to
comment. Largely on how this vindicates my comments regarding British
English.

Also. Any payment from outside the UK must be pounds sterling? Like we
have it lying around here? They want us to convert the currency for him?
At a sum that large? (425 UKP is what - over 650 USD?)

No wonder nobody bought the thing. The few who could read the thing
weren't going to bother meeting the myriad conditions he set. (Then
again, I don't use ebay, so I don't know if such things are standard
practice or not.)
