Epic Fail - WWYD?

[MDV]

Damn straight. Love learning a new awesome word :D

[nfe]

I think it's a bit of a cumbersome word.

I've found myself using Cantankerous a lot, recently. It's a good 'un.

[MDV]

I would normally use mendacious in such circumstances, but I wanted to use my new word :lol:

For some reason I'm quite fond of "erstwhile", and use it at every opportunity, which is few, but strangely pleasing.

I feel some of you seem to be getting a bit caught up in the seller's alleged dishonesty.
He is selling a guitar he owns, which he has a right to do.
He also has a right to ask however much he wishes.
Does it matter whether HE had the pick ups fitted or not?
Does it matter whether HE bought the guitar from new?
Does it matter how much he paid for it?
How does any of this affect the quality of what he is selling?
The sellers character is being called into question, when at the end of the day if he has what he is selling,  it is as described and he intends to deliver the guitar upon payment. That is what's important here.
The only place he has deviated from the truth is by saying the guitar was never gigged.
A P.M. to suggest he remove this from the advert is, at most, what I would have done (As the title asks)
If you're going to trawl the internet looking for adverts where people aren't being entirely honest, you're going to be very busy. There are FAR worse out there than this.  

I don't watch Star Trek so can add nothing to that conversation

Do we really need to start this again?

We really dont.

I like nonsense words too. Some are staring you in the face - buildings, for example. They're finished! They should be called builts.

Ever been discombobulated by all these big words?

We really dont.

We really really don't.

I'm not a big fan of the Star Trek movies, except the Wrath of Khan.

My favourite words, I think, are Proprioception and Curmudgeon.

This thread is too high-brow for me, I'm off to lurk in the less erudite, constituent subdivisions of the forum where conversation is more elementary, and where the locutional panorama is less bestrewn with such intricate parlance so that my intellect is less taxed by the sophisticated discourse that seems the dernier cri within the bounds of this sequential dialogue.

Ha ha, top that you c***s

[JDC]

without wishing to re-continue a slight hint of flaming

do things like The Sale of Goods Act 1979 still apply to sales via individual rather than registered business

since there are possible discrepancies of said good of being as described (partly dependant to personal view point of weasel wording in said ad)

Excuse me for being on topic. Jeez, you guys really don't like being disagreed with do you.

Anyway I'll let you get back to discussing how many "awesome" words you know

Well, this internets is serious business.

No

How does any of this affect the quality of what he is selling?
I like to know the actual background of what I might buy. I don't like people fluffing the facts. Though apparently reputable shops are just as bad as private sellers.

The sellers character is being called into question, when at the end of the day if he has what he is selling,  it is as described and he intends to deliver the guitar upon payment. That is what's important here.
"At the end of the day" is a phrase heard all too much on the Jeremy Kyle show.
 
The only place he has deviated from the truth is by saying the guitar was never gigged.

Maybe you should start


Now Bob, what you sayin' is good, and I'm 'a let you finish, but Beyonce is the BEST person at selling online.
