    Default Over-descriptive auctions.

    Don't you hate it when a auction is too descriptive about an item, and they keep on rambling on, discussing every last minute deatail? That just ticks me off, Its a big waste of my time. Here is a prime example:

    The seller may have changed the title and description. There's another one like that from cheesystick too. Here's a better example:

    I can't take credit for this one though. It was listed my jonjandran in Great Useless Descriptions thread.

    A hate the listings where people seem to be talking to themselves out loud. ie:
    Heres an atari I found in my basement, I was cleaning the other day, when I stumbled across it and there was a big spider behind it that scared me, so when I went to reach for it, the spider scared me because it was big and looming over the atari, so I had to go get a broom, and that's when I noticed..... blah blah blah

    I thought it was funny cheesystick. I was wondering, if someone won, what would you get, or type of test the seller would be obligated to give you lol.

    Actually, it could be an auction for the game "the test" for snes, just a lazy description.
