    I think I developed ADD just looking at the ad. Couldn't read past the first line, had to walk away. I paid $70 for one that's 10 years newer, and it came with an original HC and a motor kit...

    Perhaps we need a rating system for these ads.
    I know someone is going to come up with something better...

    Dumb (1)
    Stupid (2)
    Unique (3)
    Outer space (4)
    I don't know but we do need a system of course...
    Anyway... that... one... is... a... 10... whatever... it... is...

    I started to read that ad but had to stop. It was going to give me a seizure.
    I like your grading system Miriam. Who rates it? The person that posts the ad here or the people that see it here?
