LoL, is this guy for real?
From the ad:
"I BOUGHT WASR AND INSTALLED SOME BALKAN WAR USED STOCJ ON IT. I HAVE SINCE THEM BEEN HAUNTED BY STRANGE HAPPENINGS AROUND ME. ME AN MY PASTER DECIDED IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF A DEAD SOLDIER FROM THE YUGOSLAV CIVIL WAR LOOMING FOR REVENGE. I DECIDED IT IS BEST TO SELL OFF THIS GUN.
I MUST NOT BE HOLD RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPEBS TO THE BUYER.
$800 OBO."

He apparently isn't too haunted by the rifle. Maybe the spirit of the dead soldier will frighten him into lowering his price.
The storage at APEX Gun Parts must look like a scene from horror movies.Quote:

Actually, I think it's more effective with the bad grammar and spelling errors. It makes the reader assume he's a rube and the uninformed reader may actually think his asking price is a bargain "get rid of it" price. Sometimes it pays to act like you're stupid -- greedy people are the easiest to con.
