It just needs to be cleaned... (Huh?)

I don't know why I get so bothered by auction listings like this one, but it actually made me laugh out loud when I read the description...

<< <i>Up for an auction a RARE!!!!!! 1916 USA Philippines 20 Centavos Silver Coin NR

Uncleaned.

Winning bidder will receive the exact item shown in the pictures it just needs to be cleaned. >>

So it is "uncleaned" and "it just needs to be cleaned"?image

For the record though, it isn't rare, nor is it particularly scarce, especially it that condition. And it's a good thing there isn't any reserve, as his $0.99 starting bid plus the $2.80 shipping would constitute a fair price, but even if I was interested, I'd be concerned the seller might do me a favor and clean it before shipping it to me.
Sorry, I just had to vent over one of my pet peeves.image

    The Australian Ebay is full of 'extremely rare' circulated pocket change. I dont even look at the general listings anymore, it's just too full of 'rare' things.
    Successful trades with Syracusian, DeiGratia, LordM, WWW, theboz11, CCC2010, Hyperion, ajaan, wybrit, Dennis88 and many others.
