&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;please contact me at the following link as my eBay mailbox is full / broken&amp;quot; = I don&amp;#39;t have anything to sell, but once you contact me I will try and steal as much money from you as I can.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An aspiring new eBayer might benefit from past experiences of other users with a handy, small dictionary of the most common expressions used in listings. Here are some I could think of, hopefully others can add to the list:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;untested&amp;quot; = does not work &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;untested due to lack of cables and/or power cord&amp;quot; = tested, and does not work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;externally mint&amp;quot; = does not work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;worked when put to storage&amp;quot; = stopped working years ago, has not been used since&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;evaluated by a serviceman&amp;quot; = mechanical parts missing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;expected to be an easy fix&amp;quot; = spare parts not available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;rare!&amp;quot; = not more than one on each listing page&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brilliant, and true Mika.&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/58.gif" alt="Laughing" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/58.gif" alt="Laughing" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/58.gif" alt="Laughing" /&gt; It does amaze me what some people describe as rare.&lt;/p&gt;
