EBay Mantra??

I just noticed this in a listing noted on HAMB a few days ago--an official "traditional" string of words, virtually all of them unrelated to the repro '32 dash listed.
WTH is a "Gothic Deuce"?
I can hardly wait for the faddists to forget about "rat rods" and go back to their power windows and retractable lawn chairs, leaving the field for serious long term crazies.

I'd better go check my Claymores and put two more rolls of razor wire around the garage--I don't think I'm adequately prepared for a Goth attack.

Personally, I think Ebay should toss auctions that have "hooks" that don't relate to the item being sold.

It wastes alot of everybody's time, when you think about it.

Can you find the HAMB connection in this one...

Description (revised)
You are bidding on a 3/2 intake made by Edelbrock. There are no stripped holes or busted threads or cracks as far as I can tell. I am not sure what this will fit, I was told that it was the larger OLDS engines with the bigger ports on the bottom. I was also told this "That is a small port intake for 303's it will work on 324's which have larger ports the ports are just smaller." And I found a couple on Ebay that look like this one. The numbers on it are "OL 396".

It's called "Keywork search spamming", Ebay has rules against it, just report the item to ebay and call them on it. ebay will remove item if the seller does it more than once

what i don't like is when they tell you in the title what it IS NOT...some guy on there right now has a 1936 Plymouth sedan with "not Ford" in the title. so when i do a search for "1936 ford" looking for parts,his piece of shit pops up.

[sodbuster]

Hey that is me.......:), I posted it here first and no one wanted it. And I have found that some guys see the HAMB and email me and I give them a better deal if they are on the board. I have had that happen to me when I was the high bidder on an item and they guy found out that I was on here.

Does kinda piss you off when you search for "1936 Ford Radius Rods" and it brings in stuff like that intake or ten fucking pages of disk brake parts for Hondas and Mustangs and manuals & repo parts for Camaros. The same power sellers have been pulling this crap for years and E-Bay doesn't do anything to them.
