2661 This Way Up will be coming along to the Bonfire Blast.    :) 

(To keep her on the water and up to date with maintenance I have kindly been allowed to "Babysit" her until Jason is able to sail her again. )

Why do so many things on ebay say 'I am selling on behalf of a friend' and/or 'due to illness'? This advert scores for both.

Is it code for something?

Incidentally I am told that a 'for sale' and a mob number notice in the window of a car means 'I am a small-time drug dealer. Call me with your order.'

It's so that they can claim to have no knowledge of any defects that may or may not be obvious.

Do you think it is actually usually a lie, or do you think people sell things for each other to enhance deniability? If so, it's analagous (technically it's homologous but that is another story) to mischievous  outsourcing whereby the cash passes seamlessly from hand to hand but the responsibility is smeared out so thinly it disappears altogether. See Univ of Wales scandal for examples.

In this case it was 100% true. Jason owns the boat, it is currently sat in my garage :-)

I bid up to a tenner on the sails. I was outbid but then (surprise surprise) I got a second chance offer: Clearly because the person who outbid me was a shill. This is fraud (in their absence I would have got them for 99p).

To really rub it in, the seller wants £15 quid!

15 quid *including" postage would be fair enough wouldn't it?

It would be OK for a lowrider moth, IC, but probably not big enough or strong enough for a cherub - or i14   

I might soon be selling a bigger one with a big lifty T foil soon that would be more cherub sized.
