Check out what a guy will do when given sage counsel....

I think the pics are rather flattering of you, Bren!

(But white? Really...

OMG! He's up to $15,000 on that thing!!!

THIS guy is a marketing genius! He also states he only paid $1200 in the first place!

I'm in the wrong racket here! Sage counsel? I don't have a sister.. Brenda, help me find something I dont use to sell for 15 G's !
(I'll split it with ya! LOL)

Jeez, that one's even better than the dress!
Thanks a lot for brightening up my day!
ROFLMAO

Though I've seen a TV program that actually says things will sell _better_ with such horrible descriptions.
It was all about a guy who tried to sell an indoor fountain. No bids. Then he listed it as "The most ugly fountain you've ever seen!" and wrote something like: "While my wife's away I can finally try to get rid of this ugly piece of scrap..."
In the end the fountain sold for something like $300.

Hey at least the guy could'a shaved.
The second one had me on the floor I have not laughed that had in a long time! That guy is funny!

Who said that sleeveless flowing white can't be elegantly slenderizing?

Let's see, Randy, for $7.5K we could sell....

- Your collection of odds 'n ends in your storage shed in a coffee can... if we glue it all together or onto cheapo watches or brooches and call it 'art'

- Your old GI Joe dolls, er...action figures.

Whatchya got that you think might be totally useless?

Thank you, Bren!!
This absolutely made my day. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
