Had a message about a particular camera body I sell. I'm a top influencer in the Liverpool area with over 6k followers, and this camera would work really well for my photography coarse. As a favour to you i'm giving you the chance to send me one of these for free and throw in one of the lenses you sell. I will then show the camera on my social media and mention your eBay shop as a good supplier. You should get 20 extra sales so the cost of the camera and lens is less than 10% of what you will make in extra profit. This is a great investment please send Camera and Lens today
lets see shall we I sell these at £15 ( with free P&P ) and the lenses at £30 plus so i'm down £45 20 Sales is £300 ( £45 is already 15% ) 20 Postages £84 20 Ebay Fees £30 I receive £186 £45 is approximately 25% of what I receive let alone the profit Why do these entitled idiots think we should give then stuff for free. why does he think 6000 followers makes him a "top influencer" Name and shame?

Had a message about a particular camera body I sell. "I'm a top influencer"Immediately says, "I'm an entitled, self opinionated W***er." IMHO,

Influencer. Another perfectly good old english word ruined and end ups as a derogatory term like dick, knob, plebe, ding dong , double glazing salesman...

Well this is what we get as a nation that runs off reality TV, "we've had enough of experts", BTL as a valid career option and "personality" over substance (with bonus points for taking your clothes off for the tabloids). We need to stop dumbing ourself down as a nation, and quite seriously, I would imagine that traditional menial jobs requiring tenacity and resilience (including cold sales calling) would serve as a worthwhile character building experiences for these people.

James are we long lost twins seperated at birth, our opinions of modern society are so so similar, its scary. Or are we just both miserable old reactionary gits stuck in the past, long past our sell by date.

I wonder how many camera sellers he made this generous offer to, and how many cameras he got? A bit like the email scams if you target enough people someone will probably take the bait.

Somehow those options didn't come up in my careers chats back in the day. Based in NY though. So probably got the wrong person.

Chairman of Northampton Town FC (although not certain why he needs a new camera)

When I was at school many years ago my English teacher gave a simple example.
Charles the First walked and talked half an hour after his head was cut off. My favourite has always "helping your Uncle, Jack, off a horse" Remove the capitals and the punctuation and it changes the whole meaning of the sentence.
