E-Bay Q&A

As I mentioned, I'm selling some shit on e-bay. I've had a huge enflux of questions about the products, and most of them have been pretty good. Others...not so much.

[Polar Power Sensor]
Q: Is there not more to this "package" than the two items pictured?
A: Yes, all original accessories are included
Q: Do all the accessories come with it such as the 3 different derailleur bolts, rubber shims, magnets, etc?
A: Yes. I'm positive I just told you that.
Q: Is one of the bolts the #501030 for Shimano road derailleurs? There are 3 bolts that come originally. Two for Shimano (1 road bike and 1 mountain bike), and one for Campy.
A: I fucking told you that everything comes with it. What don't you understand?

Q: hello,by any chance this will work with cs 200 model or not thank you.
A: First of all, great use of the English language. Stellar. Secondly, it states in the auction exactly which head units it works with. Was the CS200 there? No? Weird...

[Speedplay X/2 Pedals]
Q: Are you prepared to post to UK?
A: Prepared? Sounds like something I should be afraid of. In that case, no.

[Zipp Disc]
Q: to france is good? if ye , how much?
A: To France is bad, mmmkay?

[Felt F1C Road Bike]
Q: what's your reserve for this bike? I am very interested in this bike
A: Have you ever used e-bay before? There's no reserve. Look at the GD auction. Clearly, you're interested in the bike, or you wouldn't have asked a stupid question.

Q: How much would you consider a buy-now?Very interested.
A: I'm going to let the auction run to completion.
Q: I've watched these bikes go way and not get paid for and relisted over and over.A bird in the hand was worth two in the bush.We will watch it play out.When they don't pay you,I will buy it cheap.
A: Fuck off, you blowhard.

Q: Would you accept a cashier's check?
A: Do you seriously not have PayPal? Fine, but you better not be from Nigeria.

Q: The description says "Please understand that this is a used bike. While it is in excellent condition, it is not perfect.". Would you elaborate?
A: Certainly. It's a used bike. The bike is in excellent (very good) condition, however it is not perfect. Does that make more sense?

Q: hi, have any of the bearings been replaced?
A: Did you seriously just ask that question?

Q: Hello: Are the wheels clinchers? Thanks.
A: Let me get this straight. You're looking at a top-of-the-line road bike, yet you don't know that Mavic Ksyriums (and Conti GP 3000's) are clinchers? Go to Target.
