Default Re: ebay rant

That 427 on ebay is a prime example.
The engine has absolutely NO significance of any type,(its a 396 with a 427 crank,which he points out is a "real" 427 crank as opposed to what.. a fake one?, who cares? a 396 or a 427 steel crank..other than possibly a p/n they are the same anyway..) yet he's got so many "buzz" words he has a whole paragraph devoted to them.

To me this is at least decieving, and borders on fraudulent. There is no other reason to put in all the terms which have NOTHING to do with what he is selling.

These ads are meant to pray upon people who may not be as "swift" or "savy" to this stuff as others my be.

Some may figure this as a marketing tool to get their ad seen, but the reality is that ebay has search tools and hundreds of sub-sections to help narrow down searches, then guys like this bung it all up for the intelligent users, and at the same time provide a means of ripping off the less informed.
