Forget stocks. I'm investing in Ralph Lauren boots.

I have actually done something similar before. Had an item at auction and buyer asked if i'd accept $XX BIN. I relisted as BINOBO with a crazy astronomical price and told the buyer to make the offer we agreed on. I did it so nobody would swoop in and take it. As I was posting it, I realized that it probably looked absurd if someone found it in a search.

That is his main picture too... It just screams unprofessional when you screw up the brand name in 3 places of the listing
Heh. I've done this a few times. Happens when you copy listings and aren't focused. Strange part is that they've sold.

There are currently 432 listings on eBay for a "t-****." So much for spell checking.

Here's a 24 pc lot of t-*****. Gotta love people that can't spell. Like this guy, who gave me a great deal on a bunch of chavez ties.

I’ve seen this often but haven’t seen it talked about. It’s funny when a seller doesn’t know what a 3 roll 2 is and posts a picture as if it’s a 3 button. 03155516-A048-4BE3-8159-B3768DC23E27.png
