Me apparently.
I'm after a mint condtion ipod mk1 as I think theyre going to be collectable soon.
Starting at the bottom.
rosswood1995: Who's a top bellend. Oh that would be you
YOU: Top ebayer! Very useful. And polite too.
rosswood1995: No I won't
YOU:No what?
rosswood1995: No
YOU: Hi, is the box original to the ipod? Could I get a photo of the sticker on the side that has the details on to confirm?
I enjoyed that massively for some reason.
I think if i was selling an ipod and it didn't occur to me it might be a collectable, and some guy wanted pictures of the box !!!

You think what, exactly? That you'd be just as much of a nob as the clot selling the Pod?
Or that you'd be much more polite and accommodating?
Which is it, your post didn't make it entirely clear.
FWIW, I really don't think the bellend in this instance is wysiwyg.
Just a hunch, you understand... 😉

Yeh, what exactly?
Personally I'd just think, well that's a bit odd. Then ask why. I'm struggling to think of how I'd call someone a bellend on the 3rd reply. The only way I could manage that is by being a "top bellend"
That all made me chuckle, then I started thinking, should it be hyphenated? Bell-end surely? Discuss...

I'd have said his first reply showed top notch bellendery - can you send me a pic - no.
No is always the easiest answer, whatever the question 😀
Cheers, Rich
I'm finding this funnier than I should 🙂
Is this not a prime moment to post a link so we can all send random requests for obscure photos just to freak him out?
thats wound me up and its not even me on the end of it(of a bellend?!).

Absolutely, make him think he has some ultra rare model that's the holy grail for Apple geeks.
Like it was the actual one used at the Launch event or something like that. 🙂

Comes with free P&P...bargain!!
I've had similar conversations with a seller on stw.
Amazing really as I was trying to buy his item.
When i told him I would buy his item if he would just do one simple thing which would mean contacting the original supplier - literally a 2 minute job-
he replied :-
I can't be bothered
(We're talking of an item worth a few hundred.)
I replied :-
Nice attitude. All you have to do is go onto chat and ask them. Takes 2 minutes.
He replied:-
Nice response. I don't know you and you don't know me, so let's just leave it there shall we??
That one seems almost fair enough.
He was honest, he couldn't be bothered. And he wasn't rude or insulting.
Obviously he wanted to do something else (or nothing) more than he wanted to do what you asked him to do.
And he clearly wasn't bothered about selling it to you if it meant he had to do whatever you asked him to do.
Lazy, but his choice.
The laziness of sellers never fails to amaze me. Like [url= http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=1258474 ]THIS[/url] for example. You want £11k for a vehicle but haven't bothered with a single picture? If I wanted to take that kind of cash off someone I'd be rather more motivated.
I do have a certain sympathy for sellers . I have found that the people who want you to answer the most ridiculous questions or want close ups of whatever you are selling are the people who don't end up buying .
My most recent one was a woman who bid on a double bed divan base we were trying to get rid of. She outbid two others right at the last minute who had been bidding for a few days.
Then about 2 mins after the auction finished she sent me a message saying she was sorry, but she was bidding for her brother but he has since bought a bed from a shop and is having it delivered, but she didn't know he'd sorted one out and seeing as I had loads of other bids it didn't matter.
I replied asking why she didn't check whether he brother needed it before deciding to bid right at the last second and if the Second Chance Offer option wasn't successful I'd be back in contact.
Her reply "Human Error". That was it. Which reminds me, I need to e-mail ebay about it, and see how to proceed with it.
I have an early gen iPod, mk2 I think. I certainly don't have the box ! Most politely it's not for sale
Excellent exchange @wysiwyg 🙂
I read it from the top. It was even funnier that way!
So did I. Only a top bell-end would post like that and not rearrange half a dozen lines.
If you reverse the order, the top belllend appears at the bottom 🙄
