“Displays white screen only, recognised by computer when connected but nothing on it.”
Well that’s because your mp3′s were obviously water-soluble, did you not know that?
“May be other faults with it – don’t know as not technically minded”
Really? You surprise me.
“USB cable and headphones not tested but worked aprox 1 month ago.”
Yet again the old phrase is wheeled out.
I’m suspecting the whole thing worked ok a month ago before it went swimming, so not really much of a recommendation, is it?
“Up for grabs here is the RARE Front Loader Sega Mega CD 1 console.”
So rare, in fact, that there’s only 58 items in the Sega Mega CD section of ebay, many of them boxed, working and with games.
“This console used to work fine,CD drawer fully functional e.t.c. Now it just does not power up.”
Ah yes, the old classic.
Obviously, you’d expect it to have worked fine at some point, not even Sega sold hardware that just plain didn’t work straight out of the box.
They may have had suicidal tendencies when it came to selling hardware but they weren’t that bad.
“I am sure this is an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing,unfortunately that someone is not me!”
You don’t know what you’re doing? Here, let me explain – You’re trying to sell two bits of broken tat that belongs in the bin. That clear it up for you?
“NOKIA N-GAGE,”
Right.
“FOR SPARES,”
Right.
“HAS A SPARE MOTHERBOARD”
Right…
“WHICH IS ALSO FAULTY,”
Well that’s a useful spare then, isn’t it?
“THE MOTHERBOARD IN THE PHOTO HAS NO POWER SWITCH AND DOESNT LOOK FIXABLE,”
So why are you selling it? Put it in the bin.
“THE OTHER ONE WHEN POWERED UP WONT WORK DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE KEYPAD.”
Right, so that’s useless as well. Put it in the bin.
“SO ONLY GOOD FOR SPARES REALLY”
No. Only good for the bin really.
“THE WHEEL OCCASIONALLY FREEZES AND WONT ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE SONGS OR VIDEO FOR A SHORT TIME.”
Maybe it’s just enjoying the music so much it doesn’t want you to change the track?
“This has been checked and can be repaird at a reasonalble cost.”
So reasonable in fact, you’ve decided you’re better off selling it for a tenner?
“This auction is for a Palitoy Action Man. I think he is from the 1970s but I’m not sure.”
With a beard and chops like that, it’d have to be the ’70s…
“He does have obvious faults which need repairing .He has bald patches in the flocking on his hair and beard .”
Well, that’s a given these days for any man born in the ’70s really, ‘action’ or otherwise.
“He is missing both hands .He comes wearing an original Action Man jumpsuit which is in clean condition but has some loose threads which need cutting off and one action man boot .”
Also missing:
Cardboard box
Wooly tea-cosy hat
Bottle of Meths/White Cider
Dog on a piece of string
Am I? Oh bloody hell, why would I be doing that?
Wouldn’t have anything to do with you talking like you’re the voice of the Mysterons, would it?
Would you mind not doing that? It’s really off-putting.

Well, that doesn’t look too bad, just a little worn. Seems pretty good for £7.99.

“THIS IS A FAMILY ROUND-UP OF THINGS NOT WORKING!!!”
Grandad? Grandad?? {prod} Nope, it’s no good; he’s gone. Stick him on ebay quick before he starts to smell.
A simple fix i think, as when you turn it on the Green light comes on Screens Flash, then it goes off!
Such a simple fix you have no idea what it is. Just because it’s simply not working, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s simple to fix.
“This DS was working prior to this happening.”
Ah, the classic line is rolled out yet again…
“Comes with Sylus DOES NOT COME WITH CHARGER.”
Insert your own sexual orientation gag there.
“You Can be collected in person and PAY CASH without the postage!”
“FULL PAYMENT WITHIN 48hrs”
So, you’ll pick me up from wherever and I can then stay for 2 days before having to pay you? That’s nice, I could do with a weekend away somewhere nice.
Item location: WESTON SUPER MARE
Ah well, beggars can’t be choosers.
Continuing today’s impromptu security theme:
“SYSTEM INCLUDES CONTROL BOX WITCH DOES ALL THE MOVEMENT AND ZOOM FOCUS AND PRESETS ETC. 1 ORB 360 PAN AND TILT CAMERA WITH 16X OPTIACAL ZOOM WITH AUTO FOCUS”
However, the “Control Box Witch” must have died as:
“…SOLD AS SPARES OR REPAIR AS NOT LONGER SEEM TO MOVE STILL HAS PICTURE BUT NO MOVEMENT IN ANY DIRECTION”
Ideal if you match it with this; You can then setup an impressive-looking security system that will look the wrong way and omit to actually record anything it might see, thus completely failing to incriminate you when you (or an accomplice, I suppose) burgle yourself to claim on the insurance, whilst giving you the alibi of making it appear you were serious about security…
“THESE MACHINE’S ARE STUPID MONEY NEW”
And no doubt they’re stupid money second-hand and broken, as well.
“this is sold as spares or repairs powers up but wont accept tape”
So, ideal if you don’t actually want to be able to record anything then?
If you’re thinking of burgling yourself and doing an insurance job, this could be just the alibi you’re looking for…
