I have been on ebay a lot lately. Actually, up until recently, I never used it at all. But because now I need lenses and well, lenses cost money, I'm looking for ways to get my kit on cheaply. So there I subsist for the moment, in the cesspool that is evilBay.
I usually pass over these kind of ads, but today - out of curiosity - I thought I'd check one out to see what it had to say. And yes, I did laugh.
If you haven't seen these ads, I'll try and highlight some of the finer moments from the one that I saw with my interpretive copy. The original went something like this:
