Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Gotta laugh at the seller's caption to #1.
American bomber?! Looks like a Heinkel He177 to me....

How naughty....
Confess I do that basically every day to all the silliness our dear sellers manage to come up with...

Indeed
A very good case in point of my e-mail regarding laughable sellers
a) No it is not a "Beute Flugzeug"
b) No it is not either a Yugoslav or Serbian aircraft (it is a Hungarian He 46)
c) No it has not "kennung 30" (it is F.307)
d) No it is not a "Doppeldecker)

The seller is capable of ensuring that not a single statement in his sentence is correct.
I think we all can agree that such a sentence is really "Weltklasse"....

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

I'm agree with you Stig, but seller or his associates now obviously don't know such basic data. Therefore, they can't correctly recognize such aircraft and when potential buyer try to find such photos by search engine they often didn't find anything. It's paradox that in the period before 5 or 10 years ago e-bay offered lesser photo in some category but included much more in some subcategory than today. The level of knowledgde of seller now is lower than previous. It's pitty both for seller and buyer as the finding of interesting item are much difficult and it is also one of the reason why selling didn't realized.

kind regards

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

newcomer,


It is apparent that seller knowledge is uneven. The expectation is that the seller should know something about what he is selling. In the present, there are no requirements aside from listing in the right category.


Best regards,
Ed
