It was funny at first - just pathetic now. He should quit flogging a dead horse

[BattleRifleG3]

Ohh no...
He needs to keep going. I don't know how they can fault his last add except that they'd be ashamed that 5 pieces of brass would go for $50 at the expense of their pride.

303 brass

part 2

THE SAGA CONTINUED

(revised)





Please bid now, this auction was cancelled YET AGAIN & the hope of ever getting a sale, & therefore more sedatives, is quickly diminishing.



(sorry- back to the job at hand)



NOW



This auction is for FIVE PIECES of 303 brass in a stripper clip.

Please note this is a G rated stripper clip and has no adult content.

the brass is identical but NOT cloned

303 is the calibre, not the number of pieces (which is FIVE)

nor is 303 the year of manufacture.





it is

Single flash hole.

Meaning that it has ONE flash hole, not two. If it has 2 flash holes I would say so and refer to it as Berdan brass. Berdan brass needs to be de-primed with an awl or a water press and is a pain to work with UNLIKE BOXER primed brass which is a joy to work with as it can be reloaded with conventional dies.

PLEASE REFER TO MY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FACT THAT NO PRIMERS EXIST EVEN THOUGH I USED THE “BAD” WORD.



it is

Able to be reloaded

With ease. It can be turned into ammunition if you have the skills & the bits & pieces and legal dispensation to do so. Please refer to my disclaimer. I accept no responsibility for anything.



Please note:

Though TOTALLY USELESS in one sense this brass has a myriad of uses. It is great for making wind chimes and pan pipes and all sorts of other things. Miniaturised cookie cutters, biro pen casings, little tiny torches that run on AAA batteries and the like.









Because Ebay has asked me to be VERY DETAILED lest I have my auction cancelled (yet again) and possibly even my account suspended, please be very careful to read MY DISCLAIMER as follows an we will all be allowed to be happy.



We must be politically correct in every aspect so please work with me as I try and do the right thing.





Please note: This is a SERIOUS AUCTION and the winning bidder will get the brass!











THIS MARVELLOUS 303 BRASS IS…….





UNPRIMED

DE-PRIMED

PRIMERLESS

VOID OF PRIMER

WITHOUT A PRIMER



With regard to primers, there arent any.

I PERSONALLY REMOVED THEM, I can vouch for that, they are gone. The first stage RCBS die made sure of it. They are GONE!









PRIMERS ARE VERY, VERY EVIL BUT...

FEAR NOT

THERE ARE NO PRIMERS IN THIS AUCTION.

Having mentioned that there are NO PRIMERS, I feel obligated to point out to you, as it has been rightly pointed out to me that this brass is NOT past its PRIME but is in PRIME condition and may be PRIMER than other PRIME brass, it may also be painted with PRIMER but definitely CONTAINS NO PRIMERS WHAT SO EVER.







THIS SPLENDID 303 BRASS IS…….



INERT

IMPOTENT

DOES NOT GO BANG

IT IS EX-AMMUNITION

DEADER THAN ELVIS PRESLEY

DEADER THAN MY GRANDMOTHER

AND

IT IS DEADER THAN MONTY PYTHON’S PARROT



ITS DEAD BECAUSE I SHOT IT!





Please note: ERT is not a town in Australia. When I say it is “INERT” I am not saying that it is in a town called “ERT”. This has caused much confusion for some in the past. It can however, when reloaded, be LIVE and IN ERT at the same time if the name of your 303 rifle happens to be “ERT” & your good to go.







THERE IS
NO CORDITE

NO EXPLOSIVES

NO BALL POWDER

NO NITRO-POWDER

NO ITCHING POWDER

NO GUNPOWDER
NO FUNGAL POWDER

NO JOHNSONS BABY POWDER

NO LADIES FACE POWDER

NO WASHING POWDER

NO POWDERED MILK

NO POWDER FINGER

NO CHILLI POWDER

NO FLEA POWDER









OR ANY OTHER SORT OF POWDER

IN THIS AUCTION.



Because powder is VERY bad.







FURTHER:





It is NOT AMMUNITION according to any of the firearms & dangerous weapons acts of any of the Australian States or Territories so YOU can own it WITH OUT FEAR!







THIS IS THE BEST BIT!









This BRASS is now WORLD FAMOUS!





THIS BRASS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!





I can say with ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY that NO OTHER five pieces of PRIMERLESS 303 BRASS has been seen by so many people in the last 7 days.





Literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of PEOPLE have looked at it and HUNDREDS of people have ASKED QUESTIONS about it only in the last week.





THIS USELESS BRASS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND IT CAN CHANGE YOURS TOO!!!!





In the LAST WEEK ALONE I have had:





MARRIAGE PROPOSALS,

MONEY SENT TO ME (true!)

THE APPLAUSE OF MANY

HUNDREDS OF HAPPY EMAILS

INVITATIONS TO COME VISIT OTHER COUNTRIES

FOOD & BEER OFFERED TO ME

OFFERS OF ACCOMMODATION

FORUM THREADS DEDICATED TO ME

UNENDING POPULARITY

THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD

And

PEOPLE SEEK ME FOR WISDOM!!

Email their friends

Write retarded emails

Snort coffee on their keyboard

ASK DUMB QUESTIONS

Get into trouble for laughing

Nose hose their dog

Waste time at work

and

neglect their household duties



Though I know it can do all of the above Im still not sure if it will ward of wicked & evil circus clowns that come out from under the shed as one once asked.







THIS IS SOME POWERFUL BRASS – NO WONDER IT HAS CAUSED SUCH CONTROVERSY!

[BattleRifleG3]

BUT WAIT!!!!

between BRASS & LIVE AMMO.

(It does seem to have an intermittent fault in that department though)







however:

[BattleRifleG3]

ALSO



IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS – PLEASE ASK

I TRY TO ANSWER THEM ALL





It’s also a great way of getting my email address if THE BRASS compels you to PAYPAL me some money for sedatives. Many have been overcome with this desire in the past and NO DOUBT that will be PASSED ONTO YOU when YOU win this auction.



I can also, upon request, send a photo of brass being made inert.



But ALWAYS REMEMBER,



THIS IS NO ORDINARY BRASS



With it comes great responsibility and possibly great grief if you try and sell it without describing it properly.

I trust you understand.









***********************







Now,



READ THIS IMPORTANT THING ABOUT PAYMENT & POSTAGE THEN MY JOY WILL BE COMPLETE.









IMPORTANT!!!!

DON’T BID UNLESS YOU READ THIS FIRST!!!!!!!!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY



“Every time a system is made foolproof - a new class of fool emerges.”

Prod Harris



OH PROD – HOW RIGHT YOU WERE!



Beacuse CERTAIN RECENT EVENTS have freaked me out so bad and I now spend all my waking hours shaking in a corner like a dog sitting on a thistle I have little or no capacity to deal with any one giving me a hard time.



So..........







Please note: Successful bidder needs to contact me within 48 hours of close of auction and PAY within 3 working days or the item will be re-listed and negative feedback will be left.



If you cant do this,, PLEASE DON’T BID.



Also, let it be known, I have great difficulty with people who win auctions then ask questions like “can I pay you next week?” Read carefully: if you don’t have the money, DON’T BID. Sorry to be horrible but SLOW PAYERS & NON PAYING BIDDERS are a nuisance and I do want to discourage them. After having numerous auctions cancelled by ebay and having to relist I really dont feel like waiting any longer.



KEEP READING - WE’RE NOT FINISHED YET



Payment:

Payment will be by DIRECT CREDIT to bank account or by PAYPAL for overseas bidders

NO EXCEPTIONS

(unless by PRIOR arrangements)



Note: Please don’t win and then try to send me a money order, or cash, or sea lion skins, cowry shells, your pet stick insect, your grandmother, crack cocaine, tea leaves, offers of marriage or anything else that you might think I will accept - because I wont. If you are in Australia and you cant direct credit me DON’T BID. If your from overseas & cant do PAYPAL - DON’T BID.

I will have an outburst of negative feedback in your general direction if you aggravate me by ignoring this term.





REAL IMPORTANT

READ THIS BIT A FEW TIMES

!!!!!MUST READ!!!!!



Postage:

Postage (within Australia) for this item is shown in the Payment Instructions. Please factor the quoted amount into your bid as part of the total cost of the item. I do not claim that the postage quoted is actual, in most cases it is more than sufficient (however in others it is not) but is quoted now in order that you can make a fully informed bid without me working out individual costs for postage for each auction ,, so,, please DON’T ASK ME FOR A QUOTE - just factor the quoted amount into your bid. I trust you understand. I hope you understand, I even pray you understand (because so many don’t & I cant understand why). Australian bidders, if you want your item sent registered and insured (up to $100) please let me know and I will do that. This costs an additional $2.00 over the quoted price and is a very wise option. If you don’t & it goes missing I cant do anything about that except to feel sorry for you. (Having said that, we haven’t lost one yet, but give Australia Post time, they will). Thank you for your understanding.



Oh, and, please please please don’t ask me to discount on postage if you win more than one item. I'm not into that. If you feel the urge to ask me that then you need to read the above paragraph at least another 5 times and pray for understanding.



Real life story: Some POOR SOUL actually read all this, won one of my auctions, then had the nerve to BAG OUT on me in feedback BY SAYING “SHIPPING COST EXPENSIVE IE CHARGED $15.00 COST $5.80 ”

To which I replied:

“Postage amount was clearly shown in the item description & payment instructions”

(you can look it up, it is there)

AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!!

IT WAS SOOOO HARD TO REMAIN POLITE!!!!

So, welcome to my “blocked bidders” list!

Please refer to the quote at the top of the TERMS.



so



If you cant respect the above PLEASE DON’T BID

it really is OK not to bid





ALMOST FINISHED, KEEP GOING!!!!!



Overseas Postage: As above, however sometimes not quoted in description. If not, please contact for a quote.



FINALLY



I used to be sane once but I think that I have sold too many things on ebay and have hurt my brain. (I don’t know how those “power sellers” do it!!!!) I like people (generally speaking) I truly think people are the most important thing on the planet, I try hard to get on well with everybody & have some fun & head off all foreseeable problems before they occur in the interests of everybody’s well being, mental health, self esteem and for the sake of endangered species, world peace, the ozone layer and everything else but I have come to the conclusion that you cant win them all or please everybody all of the time. So, finally, if you cant handle my terms or my attitude (you guessed it) please DON’T BID.



The end

I feel better now.







Please note: all monies received from this sale will be used for the purchase of sedatives.







OH YEAH, DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS





And a

FINAL

THANK YOU

To

EBAY

Without whom it would be impossible to share this joy with you J







Now seeing you have been such great eBayers Im going to take you all out for milk & cookies after the auction.

(SOY MILK & GLUTEN FREE COOKIES, NATURALLY.)



Cheers

[BattleRifleG3]

It's now up to $65 AU ($51.62 USD)

This is looking like the most famous E-bay auction since the Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary!

[BattleRifleG3]

It's now up to $90 AU ($71 USD).

You'd think it was brass that had shot at the Kaiser himself.

I'm very impressed.

His E-mail addy was listed in the copied and pasted ads above. Not sure if those are correct or changed to avoid spamming. Those with E-bay accounts could probably to the best job of contacting him. I don't E-bay myself.

T-Shirts on eBay regarding this auction.

[BattleRifleG3]

303 Brass - NOT AMMUNITION - IT'S A T-SHIRT! (INERT).

You have seen the famous auction now buy the T-shirt!






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The story of "ninteen11" aka Bob or 'The Aussie Avenger' has entered eBay folklore! His saga of trying to make an honest living from the sale of a few innocent pieces of brass has captivated the world of eBay and conveyed upon him support and love from discussion forum members around the world! See here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW


This is a unique opportunity to celebrate this event and to further aid the cause of the Aussie Avenger.

From the sale of these T-shirts I will send 50% (yes 50%!) of the net profits to our hero in the land of Oz!

I am pleased to say I have endorsement from Bob himself:

"THAT IT BRILLIANT!!!! I accept your terms! You may include my endorsement in your item description if you like!!!! Cheers, Bob"


Support Bob and spread the word, who can forget such memorable lines as;

"...there are NO PRIMERS, I feel obligated to point out to you, as it has been rightly pointed out to me that this brass is NOT past its PRIME but is in PRIME condition and may be PRIMER than other PRIME brass, it may also be painted with PRIMER but definitely CONTAINS NO PRIMERS WHAT SO EVER..."

and:

"...ERT is not a town in Australia. When I say it is "INERT" I am not saying that it is in a town called "ERT". This has caused much confusion for some in the past. It can however, when reloaded, be LIVE and IN ERT at the same time if the name of your 303 rifle happens to be "ERT" & your good to go..."

Priceless! He'a a 'good egg!'...as we say here in Blighty.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, here we have a wonderful British (well, so-so quality, made in Mauritius actually) new T-Shirt, size to be chosen by the lucky 5 bidders in glorious sparking white and emblazoned with a picture of those famous 5 pieces of brass. Above this are the immortal words describing the truly harmless nature of the items so in demand! Please note: T-shirts are not my first line of business! This is a little sideline to show support for Bob and earn him a few dollars (naturally, I will take a cut...). The T-shirts are not professionally printed they are a simple heat transfer process (my wife's iron...) but none the less they should stand up to a few washes...hey, you might just want to frame it!

So, stand out from the crowd - this is rarer than rare and straight from the catwalks...Horray for Bob and hooray for brass!!!

Please see the photos for more detail.

By the way, despite my username I am truly British and not French...my usual business is WW1 collectables - I have an excellent reputation and endless happy customers from every corner of the globe - the 50% is guaranteed to be sent to Bob! I am awaiting his approval and will update the listing asap. If he does not like it then I will withdraw the listing!

IMPORTANT: This IS A TEE-SHIRT - 100% COTTON - IT BREAKS NO RULES - IT IS NOT AN EXPLOSIVE!


Please see my other auctions why you are here - there is the essential Delhomme WW1 grenade collectors reference book, a couple of unusual trench art items, an enamel Poilu's commerative plaque and a rare French INERT Barbel granade - simply click on "view sellers other auctions" above. A picture of all the items being auctioned is below the t-shirt pictures - this particular listing is for one T-shirt as described only, NOT the other items!:


Item is honestly and accurately described to the best of my knowledge but no warranty is implied or given - only in exceptional cases will I accept returns! - please ask any questions before bidding - all will be answered promptly and courteously. If buying from me you will be kept informed through every step of the transaction - please see my feedback for my many repeat customers.

Please Note: If you have zero feedback or more than ONE negative feedback comment please email BEFORE bidding or your bid may be removed. I am afraid I can only accept International bids if you have a minimum feedback rating of 10 with zero negative feedback.


Payment terms: INTERNATIONAL payment strictly by PAYPAL ONLY please. UK payment by cash/cheque/Paypal.

SHIPPING: I pride myself on safe packing - the T-shirt will be packed carefully - shipping to be paid by buyer - UK First Class Recorded delivery is $7.99. Mainland Europe airmail is $9.99. Airmail shipping to the USA (NOT insured) is $14.99. Please email for other shipping costs/options.





Thank you for looking! - Here are the photos of the actual item for sale, please see my other auctions and good luck!

[Apollyon67]

Q: what happened to your pommy mates "T" shirt add? did ebay cancel that too? best of luck! regards, Bruce Answered on Feb-28-05
A: It was cancelled because he failed to note that it was not a food product, was not an indian artifact, that it didnt contain alien technology or was an endangered marine creature.

[BattleRifleG3]

Darnet, it's still at the same price. You'd think the world would just be jumping on the opportunity to buy this famous brass. I was at least hoping it would break $100. Or perhaps that's what the E-bay snipers are for.

[BattleRifleG3]

Welp, the auction ended.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

The brass sold for $99 AU ($78.28 US).

You'd think it would have at least broken $100.

But hey, it sold for way more than anyone would normally pay, and that says something. Good going!
