A genuine pet hate of mine this:
Just been on ebay, looking at Hogan Concordes. I came across several from the same place, but, was there any indication of the registrations?? Like heck there was. So, I asked, and I just got a message back saying that the seller will be away until the 8th of June. It isn't as though they do not know what registrations are, as some of the other planes they are selling, have it in the description. Yet, when it comes to Concorde .... WHY did this person even BOTHER?? Lack of info in descriptions on ebay is one of the things that really, REALLY gets on my t*ts! ![]() ![]() I mean, if you are selling something that the other person cannot see, then it only makes SENSE to give as much info as possible. I'm not going to buy it now anyway as they were a little expensive, but that isn't the bloody point! Please excuse me. Roarer - off to lie down in a darkened room.

Some people do not know how to accurately post an auction on ebay, while others will put all the manufacturers' name in the title so they can get more views and it will be in every search result. Sometimes you have to pay more to have it be the first one shown at the top!

When I list something, I'll put down all the vital facts, and if I'm not sure, I'll SAY. At the same time however, I like it to be short and to the point. It's not rocket science, which makes this kind of thing even more irksome to me.
