The most confusing e-mail......

I just recieved a response from an eBay seller about a bat I was interested in. I asked him 3 questions: Does it have his number on the knob. Is the bat cracked. And does it have a tape-job on the handle. The guy responds by saying this:


"Bate is browm does not have tape has his # down not be and this in good conditions
thanks for your communication."



Could somebody possibly translate this for me??

CAn't translate that. But why would a bat be taped up? You mean like a hockey stick?

Looks to me like the person couldn't read english very well, used one of those online language translators, and simply copy/pasted the text generated when he typed in his native language.

Yeah, if I can remember back to my college courses, I believe he's saying "I cannot build a single comprehensible sentence. You should run away very fast. I am sure that you can find another bat from another seller that will be just as good. I will most likely not be able to transfer your address correctly and you neighbor will wind up with your bat. Thank you."

It was a Preston Wilson game used bat. He always has a huge amount of tape rolled around the knob of his bats so I was making sure that it was on it

Let me attempt: Bat is brown, does not have tape, has his number
on the knob, and is in good condition. (But don't trust me)

Cubby has it all except the last part. I think that's supposed to be "not be in this good condition".

But me no very litel bowt inglish.
