Now, to clarify, this would be used as the actual eBay listing?

Just makes some difference in the formatting...

[Kilted-Marine]

Yes it will be used in an actual Ebay ADvertisement, but we are looking for verbage, we will do the formating and making it look "nice" so no worries there. We are looking for catchy words, selling words, great phrases...

[Casper]

Ahh... thought you were actually looking for the full graphic layout and such...


PS: Mark, I sent a couple of emails about an order I placed at the start of the week, but not much in the way of a response in regards to an ETA...

Your kilt should be in in about 2.5 weeks. We asked to get everything by June 8th

[Kilted-Marine]

So to clarify the contest. We are just looking for the words. Since it would be unfair to ask for graphic layout and html or web design and or this would limit the number of folks that would be able to particapate.

If you wish. you can enter more then once. A few comments

1. Action words or descriptive words are great
2. Humor is wonderful

3. Spell Checking the entry before sending it in gets bonus points

You guys are the best..we have had some really great ones so far

May I suggest that a poll on the subject here may warrent a few more responses than the email process. The polls are easy to create.

PS Number 4 seems like the logical choice. While the idea of scaring the dog and annoying the neighbors may seem like a good idea to a select few, the general population wants the pipes for pride not as a tool to piss off the neighborhood. If anything the idea of the noise and annoyance to family and neighbors would be a deterent to a few prespective buyers. Number 3 was also good, but number 4 fit the whole deal IMO.
