    Default Is this bloke having a laugh?

    How's this for an eBay item - $175,000 for tools and equipment. No picture, no real description. If anyone buys it I'll be amazed....
    Cheers

    The description says:
    "11 feet long and 5 foot high snap on mechanics tools"
    That's one big Snap On tool

    Makes you really wonder if someone was serious about selling something but they are too stupid or otherwise to take the time to put effort into a proper description with photos etc. 'em.

    Mmmmm. Only 175K. That's a bargain. Think I might take out a mortgage and put in a bid.

    There's only an hour left on this bargain. Youse blokes are gonna miss out unless you get a move on.

    Hmmm, no bids, I wonder why .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.
