It Is The Size That Counts

I don't even know what to say about this. As originally seen on Craigslist:

PC's for sale

I have 3 7" PC's. 295.00 ea. + shipping

How does a person respond to that? I'll tell you how:

Hello,

I am interested in your 7" computers but I need more information. I understand that the PCs are 7", but in which direction. Are they 7" long, wide or thick, or are they cubes, with all sides measuring 7"? Are they 7" sqaure or in diameter. Like most PC buyers I am not concerned about the specifications of the device itself, just the exact size.

Thanks for your time

Thicker than a Wendy's Frosty:

Hello,
thank you for inquiring, the followowing are the exact dimensions:
210mmx140mmx33mm thanks

So I'll try again:

Hello,
I don't understand your email. I thought the PCs were 7", not 210mm. I don't know how to translate millimeters into inches. If you can't measure the PC in inches can you take pictures of it next to a standard sized object such as a loaf of bread, a toaster or a dozen eggs so I can better gauge the size of the PCs.

Thank you

This guy is impossible:

Sorry,
Just sold them, any ways they were 7x5x1.5. Thanks again

One more try:

So without specifications you sold 3 $300 7" PCs? Prove it!

Who could possibly dumb enough not to understand that I was fucking with them? This guy:

sorry,
But this was some one who had contacted me much earlier, as I had
an overwhelming response to this ad. Sometimes people think about it too
long and others respond quicker.

I usually would give up by now, but this guy is really pissing me off:

2 things:

1) You didn't prove it

2) You had an overwhelming response to an advertisement for PCs based soley on their size, with no specifications, etc? Do you take me for an idiot? Do you have anymore 7" PCs?
