Funny eBay Ad for Droid 3

[gadgetrants]

A little humor for your day: I was checking out how the Droid 3 is faring on eBay, and found an amusing ad. Everything looked good, and then I decided to read the "fine print":

Motorola DROID 3 - 16GB - Black (Verizon) Smartphone (723755000186) | eBay

**PHONE HISTORY**

I used this phone for under five months. There is one tiny surface damage on the outside of the phone (it is smaller than a centimeter and is hardly noticeable). It does not affect the functionality or practicality of the phone whatsoever. I recently dropped it in water and immediately dried it off and turned the phone off. I put it in a box of rice for days and days, and lo and behold the phone works 100% perfectly! I had already ordered another phone, so I decided to sell this phone because it would benefit someone who does not have insurance on their phone (full retail price for this phone is $479.99). As you can see in the picture, the battery's water-indicator has been activated, which proves it really was touched by water. However, after several tests, I assure you that this phone is fully functional. I absolutely love this phone!

I highlighted the part I found unexpectedly. It's interesting that the important fact that it was DROPPED IN WATER is mentioned somewhat offhand, after describing a small scratch.

DISCLAIMER: If this ad belongs to one of you, I'm very, very, VERY SORRY FOR MAKING FUN of it!

Thanks a lot man! Now I'm never going to sell this phone! At least I didn't mention that I dropped it in a toilet.......oops. Actually, that seems to be the trend lately. Dropping cell phones in toilets. Maybe that's what the seller actually did!

Doesn't it seem a bit strange they mentioned the water sticker, and INCLUDED A PICTURE!

That's a compulsive level of honesty that you just don't see anymore. (And maybe even argues against the point that they were "hiding the fact.")

OK, no offense intended to ditzy girlfriends, but isn't this what your ditzy girlfriend says after driving your car? "Oh hey, I filled it up with gas. And oh yeah, the side of your car was 'touched' by a tree trunk."

Kudos to him. I'm more surprised it's got 12 bids at $100!
