humorous ebay sale

This isn't woodturning, but it is woodworking. Someone had a product for sale and did not have a pleasant experience with the product. This is very funny. Make sure you read it to the bottom - it gets funnier.

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the laugh. I guess we've all had things we bought that turned out somewhat like that, but that is a classic.

I laughed so hard that I spilled my coffee! This guy has a terrific sense of humor and a terrible sense for making a purchasing decision! My eyes are watering as I tyep this!

Thanks for the belly ache!

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the best laugh that I have had in ages.

That thing sounds like it may be first cousins to a Sears variable speed lathe that I bought last year.

And somebody bought it!! I'm going out to the shop, I Know I've got worse junk out there somewhere ....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To buy something like that you have to either be very cocky, or very humble. The cocky person thinks, "He didn't like it because he was not smart enough to use it properly--I can overcome problems that would stump the average person." The humble buyer says, "It's cheap because it's not very good. I don't deserve the good stuff everyone else is using, so I'll buy this." I fall in BOTH categories simultaneously. :-)

So, like...."He's not smart enough to know that I don't deserve the good stuff that nobody wants to or CAN use except me?"
