    Funny EBay auction for Heat Exchangers

    Dumbest ad I have seen today (besides the Porsche toolkit that the seller states is for recreational use only)

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...33038262QQrdZ1

    It would seem that with all of that rust it would be unnecessary to have to clarify that they are not SSI's

    He must have changed the ad details; he now says that SSIs were copied from these. He never says they are not SSIs explicitly.

    Hi Kenikh,
    The non SSI reference is in the title. Guess maybe you are right. Maybe I am just being a $#&@ today...

    Putting "not SSI" in the title is an Ebay search sales trick. It is a way to drive traffic; this way everyone looking for "SSI" will see his exchangers in their search results as well.

    Yeah, don't you just love it when sellers do that!

    I wonder what goes throuugh their heads??

    Hmm.... I have a rusty 924 to sell here... I know! If I put 'not 911 RSR' in the ad title all those people looking for an RSR will see my ad and decide they really want this 924 instead!
