Sign in to disble this ad
Is anybody else sick of seeing ads for "Fender Precision Bass Guitar Refrigerator Magnets" on eBay in the "musical instruments" section? I mean seriously, why would anyone think that someone looking through the musical instruments ads on eBay would have any interest whatsoever in a Refrigerator Magnet? For that matter who would buy a freaking Refrigerator Magnet from eBay?

As far as advertisements go, I have a personal thing about NOT buying anything that was advertised to me in an irritating way. (However, I don't think I have ever even seen an advertisement on the internet for anything I had any interest in.  ) |

Ebay didn't used to be like this-in the last few years a simple search opened all the filters and you get loads of cr@p in your fishing net now!
You think its bad with basses, search for a car or motorcycle! If its classic and collectible, there will be far more toys than real cars... |

Non nos gratum anus rodentum. If I'm not interested in it or the price is too high, I just ignore it. No pronlem, really... |

Before we know it some bright spark is going to stoop so low as to try and combine the both the names into one. J  |

It's just a magnet.
Open 'fridge door, insert head, chill. 
(Incidentally, I have a coffee mug with a nice Fender P on it - and yes, I just might buy a couple of those magnets.) Quote:

Refrigerator magnets are not musical instruments and therefor should not be advertised as such. Not the end of the world mind you but very annoying all the same.

I really do...but you said it yourself - the low starting price is kinda telling. The seller prolly figgers that cats looking for P-basses might impulse buy knick-knacks, too. Just trying to feed his family, I suppose.
Everybody has a different frustration levels with things, I guess. Clicking a mouse 20 more times than I wanted to doesn't hit the threshold for me. |

Refrigerator magnets have nothing to do with musical instruments and therefor should not be included in any musical instruments section. Thank you for helping to illustrate my point.
