The laws of Victa are being challenged a bit inthis gumtree ad

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cheltenham/other-home-garden/victa-lawnmower/1226606241

Who can spot the flaw in his logic?

Er, I'm guessing he's a flipper and not a user? Or just a bit of a dipstick?

I saw an ad once for a VIcta 2 stroke that went as follows

"Victa mower for sale $35. I paid $140 from a person who does these up, I used it once, and then I added some more fresh unleaded petrol. Mowed for 2 minutes and it stopped. I can't get it to restart. Might be an easy fix for someone who deals with these".

I have a feeling I know what happened haha

And has exposed himself as a fraud. It's Gumtree!

Tyler, another blundering twerp. *holds face in hands*

You can't be that stupid.

It's a female ???

Somebody has gone to the trouble of taking a pic of a dipstick which is fine, I just want to know where you can screw it in.

And on which mower that photo was taken with, seems very much like what MS stated...........a Flipper with a track record of flipping mowers.

I did ask the seller when she started changing the oil in a 2 stroke but didn't get a reply

Can't say that for sure BB - I had to fill out a form today and in the gender box I had the choice of male, female, prefer not to say, or 'prefer to self-describe'

I wanted to ask what they meant by self describe - but then it occurred to me they actually might tell me . Couldn't be bothered listening to that discussion

I was going to say, "Hey BB, it's 2019 you can be whatever you want!" but then I noticed the seller's name.



I really dislike this type of ScumTree seller. Caveat emptor I suppose.

I got one the other day, male, female or, "in another way."

Well someone bought it

Even if there was a dipstick, they wouldn't check it anyway...

Hi Tyler,

Not sure how you come to that conclusion but the listing is still active, but they've removed most of the photos including the offending dipstick shot and just stayed with the main cover shot.

Love the statement "Not too noisy"

Cheers,
BB.

Australia is filled with dodgy people, especially with diversity. It is not our strength. It has never been humanity's strength. It's a recent construct in western nations. Different cultures are not meant to mix.

There is a bloke over in Clayton who sells junk, I went there once, you can't believe the junk he has. He always used to put ads on gumtree stating that his mowers used to run. I sent him an email saying that they all used to run "when they left the factory" he sent back some abusive email but since then he has not claimed his mowers used to run

If there's one thing I've learnt over the years and to back up what Mowerfreak says and that is Multiculturalism does NOT work.

Sadly we seem too pick up all the scumbags from other nations, pretty well much" the Fish that John West rejects".

Cheers,
BB.

BTW Norm, I think I know who you were referring to in your above post. Have had an awful dealing with that clown about 2 years ago.

I might get my next car from any wrecking yard. They all used to run after all. Australians are a nation of money grubbers. Want your stuff for nothing, want you to pay near new prices (and in some cases more than the new rr price) for their used wares.
Greedy greedy people.

Hi BB, when I looked last night, it said the item has been sold

Now its back as you describe

I think they had someone advise them that they made a stupid blue and as such pulled it and relisted.

Cheers,
BB.
