DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Kingdoms-Joist-Set-/121166676997?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item1c3618c405 I can't imagine how someone could make that bad of a mistake in a listing. Maybe you list a different set in the same theme but - really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinP Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Someone buy it and see which set you get. If you use the BIN, you would be paying $5 over the retail for the set. If you are bidding, You are paying $20 under the retail of the set. If you really got the kingdoms joist set, That would be a good deal.

lowillsw Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Kingdoms-Joist-Set-/121166676997?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item1c3618c405 I can't imagine how someone could make that bad of a mistake in a listing. Maybe you list a different set in the same theme but - really? It's getting 8 hits in an hour, not bad. It's probably everyone here on this site. Since this seller f'ed up the listing, it could be an arbitrage opportunity if anyone want to take that risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ha ha...that is a great seller. Probably the only guy on ebay who will ever get this message from a buyer: "Hey, if I buy your LEGO KINGDOMS JOIST, the WATER PUMP for the accord, the PILLOW BLOCK BEARING, and the STROLLER can you combine shipping?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Um...does anyone else that clicked on this thinking it's their listing? I know I did. I do worry a lil bit that someone here will catch one of my mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I do worry a lil bit that someone here will catch one of my mistakes. Me too...but I will just join in and act like I think the Seller is an idiot too. Ha ha...like Bric in Anchorman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafrog Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I've made errors easily this stupid over the years. He used "sell similar" and forgot to change out his photos. Typo on the title is an extra bonus dummy move also achieved by yours truly on occasion. Sometimes, someone is nice enough to email me and quite kindly, in the tone you'd use to speak to a mentally disabled dog, tell me to double-check a listing. And, once or twice, I've actually SOLD a listing this tweaked up and had to humbly email the buyer to explain exactly what they actually bought and ask if they want that, or a full refund.

sadowsk1 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 That's a shame, it might not sell posted in this manner. Hopefully someone contacted him to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinothegeeko Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 obvious a high volume seller with an honest mistake. I've seen much worse from newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Anybody notice that listing for a fire brigade but the picture is a technic ferrari? Price is high for either one, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have seen a lot of that type of mistakes, especially sellers using eBay's Turbo Lister tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsrock507 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 i can guess as to what happened... ebay doesn't allow you to list an item with no picture.i usually make my listings on my laptop (i find it easier) and then take a bunch of pictures with my ipod and edit the listing through my ebay app to add the pictures. since ebay doesn't allow an item to be listed without a picture, sometimes i will add a random picture so i can have it listed- then edit it from my ipod right after. so maybe this guy is doing the same thing. now i use a stock photo of the set i pull off google images, but i used to just use the first pic off my computer.
