Item Not As Described

Another long day at work, I found myself griping with a user on eBay.  It turns out if you do not describe an item you want, to the person selling it to you with lawyer-like precision chances are you will be paying for something similar to a box with packing paper protecting my new shiny pet rock. I scoured the net to see if there were others out there who have suffered wanting or paying for one thing, yet getting something the seller did not describe to be what you would call 'the truth'.

Lo and behold I find an aptly titled site: Item Not As Described.

Found On: Austin Craigslist By: James L

We were just going to throw this out, but we thought ... well somebody might want it. It worked well for us when we needed it. It’s dirty looking, but very portable for a booster seat. First person to come get it can have it. We’ll leave it out in the drive way

Look, I hate children as much as the next guy, but . . . wow. If anything counts as child abuse, placing a child in this seat is it. If you take this, be sure not to let anyone see you with it. Child Protective Services will take your child, immediately. No “due process,” no gradual, multi-step penalty system. Kids. Gone. Now. Approved for kid-dungeon use only. And not the fun kind of kid-dungeon.
