Auction description made me go wow

"The piece is in a good condition, bearing the marks of an item that has been utilized and appreciated. There are some signs of rust on the metal, exhibiting an authentic vintage character. The bluing loss and scratches further add to its aged charm. The black plastic grips, though cracked and damaged, tell a story of the item's past, adding to its intrigue. "
That is some wordsmithing right there.
I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

link to the item.
Maybe described by Mr. Haney or a politician.
Translation : It's a piece of crap but I need to get rid of it.
"That is some wordsmithing right there."
Yes it is!
Wow sounds like a speech writer for Biden and CNN
In real estate sales, it's a charming fixer upper.
My thinking is if you win the auction you probably won't be disappointed, seems to be a truthful seller.

He does a great job of describing the silver lining behind the huge black storm cloud.

Translation: this gun has been treated the same way a baby treats a diaper.

It reads like it was written by A.I.
Some years ago I knew two brothers who had sold and traded in guns since they were in high school always skirting thr ffl laws by the skin of ther teeth and were warned and turned in many times
But that was years ago Biden SS BATF would have put a boot on their head now
Any way they always referred to every gun as a piece that always seemed odd but must have helped keep the low profile of saying we have gun(s) for sale less attention ? I never ask
Both have been dead for some years now
RIP fellows, Dale and Warren two good old boys
I always wonder what became of that famous Alaskan salesman who's career was selling refrigerators to the Eskimos. Seems he now is selling guns here at GB!
That starter pistol is a non starter for me.
I am still immersing myself in its unique charm, pondering the charming functionality and enjoying the exciting history it must surely possess.
I would certainly give $20 for this piece of.....history.
But, shipping is $30, so the race is over before it even starts.
It is a Kraut junker that shoots .22 blanks. I think the guy is writing a spoof for a "gun" that is not worth what the shipping costs will be.
He is a smart a**. It takes one to know one.
