I’m of two minds with this one.
Is the seller sipping a bit too much jerk juice or are the questions that asinine?
Is it a bit of both?
Either way, the item description and answers are funny.
Read the questions he had to answer. (Here is a link to the full-sized version of the pic.) Tell me, what do you think?
I think asking if an old typewriter works is a valid question on eBay. If I were interested in buying it I would have asked if it worked too.

I’m gonna go with a bit too much jerk juice
Heh…yeah, I can’t argue with you on that one ;)
I think in this day and age if you’re going to post this kind of stuff you need to provide links to prove it is real:

Here is a guy that’s attempting to be funny, but probably in real-life he is much of a WINDBAG and a true BORE.
I like to show people like him how my eyes glaze over in his one-sided conversation and then walk away abruptly because I have more important things to do with my life.
Had a bad day crossmr? Even for real auctions eBay takes them down pretty fast. The screen shot was all there was. Even if it’s fake, it’s funny.
fake as usual? Um, I asked as much. If it was a real auction then why was the guy being such a creep? The questions were fair.
wow… for a submitter you’re a douche. I was presenting the link to prove it was real that this wasn’t a fake screenshot, click more on the questions to see them.
Next time I won’t help you.
Sorry crossmr, the first time I clicked on the link it took me to a dead page. However, I’d been shopping on eBay yesterday, so I think that had something to do with why I got there.
I think my tone was because I woke up and saw your comment and fake as usual’s back-to-back in my email. Yes, that put me in a mood. My apologies.
Let me retract my first douchey reply, and my apologies for being snappish. Thanks for the help.
Okay,
I think it was freakin’ hil-ari-ous. I wish I could answer some of the stupid day-to-day questions I get that way.
You COULD. However, it probably wouldn’t go over very well. ;)
Like a fart in church.
Yep, pretty much. A bad idea all around as a fart is a preview and a hint to just take yourself to the restroom!
