eBay

That's the salutation I've been getting on emails from ebay which go on to encourage me to buy something I wouldn't want to own in a million years.

My mother taught us kids that addressing someone as "Hey you" is the height of rudeness.

Are these emails written by 12-year olds?

Evening,

SO AGREE!

If someone is looking to encourage me to part with some hard earned dollars I recommend they start with:

Hi, How's the Lovely Mrs C?

Mr C

Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

Forget keeping up with the Joneses. Be the Finklegrubers!
OK kids, time to get the Dodge loaded up again. I hear 'Poppy's By the Tree' calling. This trip might be a long one too.

Good one.

My instantly same thoughts. I was too lazy to go get it and post it.

Just got the same type of email as well . . . my first thought was to puff out my chest and say . . . "Youse talking to ME???"

What? You have a problem with aternate (advamced) reality? Augmented reality? Improved ebay reality? Didn't like the blow up sex dolls from China when you were looking for doll clothes for your grandchildren? Click on the TELL US WHAT YOU THINK....let us know how that works for you.

That was a Cure song.

One of the annoying ones.

Did the email come with a hot dog?

Would you rather it be respectfully addressed to: Dear ebay Member, that's the ebay of the past !

No, usually by holders of non accredited doctoral degrees in business communication, located

somewhere abroad.

I got an email from EBAY pointing out that the Sears store recently closed, Elder-Beerman is closing, and Toys are Us is closing all here locally.

Went on with a list of 10 or 12 items that sell good on ebay and I should take this opportunity to hit these sores and try to snag some goodies for resale.

All it really did was depress the hell out of me.
