I want to bid, pay the man and then hire someone to take it away to the dump. This guy just gave me one of the best laughs of my life. Totally awesome ad.

His previous auction is almsot as good:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2442354423

I've had to postpone a serious telephone call because I was slightly hysterical from laughing too much and the tears rolling down my cheeks were upsetting my co-workers...

Anyone who really knows eBay knows where this guy is coming from and he is exactly right. SOOOOOOOOOOO glad someone said it. Wish I could pay him to make this a "featured" auction so more can see it.

I can't tell which to do first- wipe the tears from my eyes or run to the bathroom and pee.

That IS the funniest thing I have seen on the web.

That is some seriously funny *****. I have always liked the humor the Brits have. That guy has to be a piece of work.

I think I will save that page just to get a laugh now and again
Maybe we should ask to get a ppi and leakdown on that thing

I'd like to ask him a question like "what flavor does the frame come in?" just to hear his response.

Holy moley, the second one is funnier than the first, I'm dying with this:
Speaking of which, this is a re-listing because the winning bidder last time was a decerebrate turnip who was able to click on buttons and hit the numbers keys, but unable to read web pages, and didn't realise that he was 200 miles away. "I dint no (sic) where you lived" read his email. Well done, astragsi999: in addition to having the saddest username on Ebay, you've now got a feedback rating of minus one and a Non-Paying Bidder stripe against your record. Welcome to our Quadrant of the Galaxy. Beep. Yes, we play rough on Planet Earth sometimes
