The (over) honest ebay seller

How splendid, given the way most ebay sellers over-egg whatever particular pudding they’re trying to con you into buying, to come across a listing that tells it like it is.

605impala certainly does that in trying to shift a copy of one of his mother’s old books, Linda Goodman’s Star Signs:

“This is a wonderful book. If you enjoy talking to Flying Spaghetti Monsters before you drift off to sleep, then this book is for you. There is no dust sleeve included with this 549 page book made exclusively from the Scrotal fur of a Unicorn. This book belonged to my mother in the 1970′s.

“There is a pencil scribble on the last blank page. I’m pretty sure I did that. At 4 years old, I think I was trying to spell “bullsh1t.” Cut me some slack, it ended up kinda sh1tty looking, but I knew that what I was writing was true to my 4 yr. old heart.

“Anyhoo, this completely bogus piece of crap astrological book from 1968 is up for auction.
If this hunk of sh1t sells, I will donate 1/2 of the proceeds to the charity of your choice!”

At the time of writing, there were no bids. Perhaps, on ebay, honesty DOESN’T pay.

See the listing. (If the listing has expired and I forget to replace it with a web archive I’ve saved, please let me know)
