I wonder what this guy is selling...
« on: August 08, 2005, 07:04:59 PM »
I was surfing eBay for some parts for my wife's bike and we both got a laugh out of the auctions from the eBay seller palierimotors. For an example, here's one of his auctions: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/honda-cb360t-cb360-cb-360-rear-turn-signals-ground-wire_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35598QQitemZ4567153992QQrdZ1

I should think if you want the item to get bid on, the pictures of it should not include items that would attract your attention away from the item up for bid (well, at least of you're a guy...)

But, you know what they say... "Sex sells"

I feel dirty. :(

I was really checkin out those "blinkers". :o

Then I noticed one of those plastic bands that are so "in" with the teen crowd these days. :-[

I hope she's of legal age. I suppose I wouldn't put it past some "Ebayers". >:(

By the moment he has achieved what he wanted: a lot of visitors like ourselves.

I bought a book on eBay from a shop called WyomingBen. All the books were held by girls (I guess they were employees) that were doing their best to look sexy.

But it shouldn't come to a surprise. Do you remember the bike ad's in the 70's? (Specially Norton or Triumph). They already knew that a little leg wouldn't hurt sales. It also shows clearly to which kind of public the bikes are targeted...

Hmmm....so if my wife looked like that, would you all buy more from me? Or just cut and paste the pictures for your own enjoyment?

this is the girl from the photos. i wanted to show you my face. i also want to let eveyone know that i am legal, try 23 years old. and yeah, there was a big difference in the amount of viewers we've gotten with me in the pic versus just the part. sorry to anyone who is opposed to such advertising, and i'm very flattered that it caused so much talk! we've had a lot of fun. yeah, i'm the seller's girlfriend. no, he's not pimpin'.. at least he'd better not be!! :)

You will probably find exciting to think that many men in their forties are having erotic dreams with you. Sorry I can't say the same. Though you have a nice-looking body, it's not anything to write home about. Then you will ask men to respect you and to treat you as a person and not as a body. If you don't respect yourself, will you ask the others to do the same?


Internet is full of pages were men are posting pictures of their naked ex-girlfriends after they broke up. Letting your boyfriend photograph you can seem as a cool idea. I hope you won't regret in the future.


Raul


P.S. Maybe your auctions get more viewers, but I wouldn't buy anything from you. Neither you nor your boyfriend are serious sellers in my book. You will have more success on custom cars or custom bikes magazines.

thank you SO much for your wisdom. i don't find it exciting that 40 year olds enjoy looking at my pictures. i'm not one of those girls who thinks better of myself just because an older guy finds me attractive. i know better, thank you-- older guys generally tend to find younger females attractive-- it's been that way since humans were alive, i'll bet. i am always treated as a person. i shun the company of people who don't respect me, but this is the INTERNET. it was for fun. i wasn't naked, was i? i have plenty of respect for myself. i would wear the same amount of clothing to the beach, wouldn't i? or is wearing a bikini another form of disrespecting myself?
and as for my boyfriend being a serious seller, well, he doesn't have to work for anyone else because his ebay business has picked up. i don't really know if my pictures have helped or not. that's not the point.
thanks.
