eBay titles & descriptions that make you roll your eyes.

What are some stupid things that eBay sellers write in their titles and descriptions?
I'm sure many of you are guilty of the following in your auctions.

L@@K
Hot!!!
A must for any collector
$$$$$$$$
Straight from the pack to a penny sleeve and top loader
1/1 (when it's a jersey number or something)
Bid early, bid often.
Descriptions that give multiple paragraphs of a player's biography and stats.
My loss is your gain.

Husband left me for some hot girl
I don't know anything about cards.

Things like this honestly drive you crazy?

69MetsFan · Oct 19, 2009

My favorite is something like this - "This kid is tearing up the minors and is absolutely on fire!! Invest now before these cards skyrocket!!!" If the cards are that "can't miss", why wouldn't they just hold them and wait for the blast off??

I throw that in sometimes as well.

good ones! I always like the "divorce" card sales.

Pine Tar · Oct 19, 2009

I seen the hubby had a heart attack and I need to sell since he can't work :lol:

-insert inflated BV here-

marterburn · Oct 19, 2009

I don't think I've ever used any of these. I edge toward the minimalist approach actually, which can be just as bad.

ChasHawk · Oct 19, 2009

Does anybody know how the hell the L@@K, and Hot!!! crap got started?

Nobody types L@@K into their search terms, so what purpose does this serve? On multiple occasions, it has caused me to not even bother with that persons auctions.

I love the "best deal on ebay 1000s of cards" for crap lots with one $1 jersey per 10 cards.

Philip J. Fry · Oct 19, 2009

"I know nothing about sportscards"---yet, they have no problem quoting BV in the listing title.

Up for bids is this old 1952 Micky Mantel card it is real my Grandmother gave it to me for my birthday I was very suprized and thanked her. But I Dont Collect Cards And Would Rather Have The Money So I Am Saleing this super rare baseball card feturing the greatest yankee player ever in the history of baseball.

Im not a professional grader but I would grade this card as perfect condition with only a small creese across the card surface and a slightly rounder corner it also has some stains on the back MAY BE MICKY SPILLED COFEE ON THE CARD WHEN HE WAS PROMOTING MR. COFFEE.

No refunds on the card please bid early and often and please no that eventhough my feedback is 1 I be a honest seller and deeler and noone I no is more honest then me.

That one has some merit. Have you ever opened up a package from a smokers home? I have once.

Yep. I include a small line about that. I always hate when I buy something and get a package full of smoke. I'm a smoker myself, but I don't do it in my home.

I use this one. I mean, honestly, I hate when ppl just leave their hits lying around unprotected so of course I'm gonna let you know that it went straight into some type of protective holder, be it penny sleeve and top-load or one-touch. I am probably gonna mention it.
