That's a bold statement. You're saying that absolutely no-one will be interested in buying any of the exterior panels or any of the interior parts so their condition is irrelevant? Do 240 owners contact each other and say, "Send me a door. There is no picture of it but I don't care as I have no interest in whether a quarter of it is rust". You're saying that one or two photos of the seats, the roof lining, the dash, the centre console would be a waste of time because no one cares about their condition? The car is 3 different colours so no one is even vaguely interested in what the other side is like? Why has the seller bothered to post up any photo at all if "no one's interested in the condition of the car in general" ?

Actually. I think there are excellent posts above explaining that the eBay listing is reasonable. You do not agree with them. Stephen .

As was said above, the point of the listing is to advertise that this car is being broken, which is stated, and the fact that a wiper motor is the actual item being sold is irrelevant. It’s the online version of knowing a local breakers had a 240 in, and you have to contact them to see if ‘your’ part was available.

This is a traditional way of drawing attention to a car that is being broken, and no one but a pedantic moron would think otherwise. |

I agree with Clifford. And. It is a now traditional way that seems to work to the advantage of both sellers and buyers. Kushtie. Stephen .

If you can get this wound up over an opinion on an eBay listing, perhaps you should take a break and let nurse take you for a walk around the garden.
She'll return your keyboard when you stop being a silly little boy.
