Amusing Ebay Advert

[BabyBear]

I can't speak for Jan, however my concern would be that someone who takes such little care when it is in their own interest to do so may take the same care in looking after his 'pride and joy'. I think there has been enough discussion here to demonstrate a number of potential buyers would be sufficiently put off? Whether they would be right to be cautious, or not is not the issue.

Patowalker: the ad's deficiencies are obvious - the other points, though confirmed by many, have yet to be shown to me.

Not that I want to disbelieve anyone, and to be frank I am not really interested in that kind of aeroplane at whatever price in whatever condition.

But to the uninformed, the ad is smelly. The informed perhaps didn't need an ad anyway.

Or could it be the advertiser believes in Ryanair's policy that any publicity is positive publicity?

So the ad is deficient and might have put off potential buyers. That might say something about the OP's ability to sell his aircraft, it says nothing about his ability to maintain it.

Anyway, I don't think it was his 'pride and joy', it was a workhorse, and it sold.

That might say something about the OP's ability to sell his aircraft, it says nothing about his ability to maintain it.

To me, it did say something about his willingness to do the sale, the maintenance, actually anything in life, to the best possible standards.

But if the plane did sell, this argument becomes mooter than ever. Can't help wondering if the ad did any help, or if the buyer found it by another way. Very secondary, though.
