Pointless ebay adverts
I was looking for a 2nd hand gearbox for a customer's ZR on ebay and found one that was low mileage. When I read the advert it said:

 What is the point of information like that?

1/ The seller will have a few more parts to list from the car for some of which colour will be relevant. For subsequent adverts is trying to save time by using his first advert as a basic template. And I would give him a few marks for actually listing the paint code on those as not every seller does.
2/ He has said that he is breaking the car, He may get other peeps asking for parts he hasnt yet listed which may result in a sales without further advertising which would save hime some time and perhaps e bay and paypal charges. eg. I needed a new boot lid for my 75. I searched a bay for Rover 75 and my paint code (GMV) on the basis that I might find a car with the right colour where for example the gearbox was being listed for sale but the boot was still with the car and available but unlisted.  |

>>>Which was a shame, my customer has a green car.<<<
If you email the seller he may change the paint code for you... ..... |

Glad someone saw the irony in my post! I'll just wait until a green gearbox comes along.
