We all get those dumb questions. You know, you put the dimensions in the listing, then someone asks how big is it. Or the feedback that says "It was smaller than I thought".

This one, I thinks, tops them all.

I offer a jigsaw puzzle for sale. RIGHT IN THE HEADLINE it says 1000 pieces. I just got an email asking me how many pieces are in the puzzle. (And it says the same thing in 2 other places)

H L Mencken was right:

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Yeah, those definitely take too long. I like the ones that say "6 months".

My niece bought one of a tidal wave that should say 'good luck!"

She who dies with the most toys still dies; when's the estate sale?

I stopped listing puzzles when the shipping got ridiculous (the larger puzzles in box are heavy) and had a couple of SNADs for 'missing pcs' even though I had actually completed the puzzle and shown it completed.
