Fishy ad - possible stolen gear

The price is too high! stolen or not they are not worth the price.
Anytime someone says "not sayin" they are saying anytime some one says "just sayin" they aren't saying!?
Plus...no one should ever buy from a poster with bad grammah...they should be penalized for life for not paying attention in grade school.

So its also racist to assume its a white trash meth head breaking into my car in the red and NRG??? Oh right, everyone is so PC here we wouldn't want to make any logical assumptions.... I have lived in Salt Lake City long enough to know who is breaking into cars and stealing bikes and the majority of the time they aren't Mormon! But they will steal your candy. Anyone wanna call "tony" and ask about the history of the gear?
It's - the contraction of 'it is' or 'it has'
Its - the possessive form of the pronoun 'it'

If you're going to accuse someone of a racial stereotype based on their written english, it's a good idea to write properly. Regardless of whether you happen to be correct or not...

The guy uses 7 words, and you can pick out that his "native" language is spanish, wowza. It's one thing to read someone's writing and make assumptions, it is a big stretch to assume this is a latino thief.
Just curious, what amount of time does someone must have to "spend a lot of time in SLC"? Do you live in the barrio or eat a lot of street tacos?

This is more what I meant.

It's more than seven words. Go to the ad, then click on "More by Seller."

It doesn't surprise me a bit that this proven thief is a native Spanish speaker. It's a well known fact that the Spanish language was developed in the 1800s by Caribbean pirates who used this nonsense sounding code language in order to conceal plans of mayhem and malfeasance.

You also fucked up to vs. too. Now your argument is completely void of any substance or credibility!

Based on a sophisticated linguistic analysis of the seller's statement "I have 10 quick draw very nice," it is obvious that the seller is not Hispanic, and is instead most likely a Vietnamese ex-prostitute of roughly 60 years of age.

I completely disagree, this sounds Kazak to me (Borat-ish).

Talked to a fellow name John, owner and proprietor of Hiatt Dance Boots. He had no idea about the ad. Nor did he know Antonio... sorry, I meant Tony.

Check this one out:

There's a foot in the photo. Either a chick with polish wearing off or some seriously bad black toe.... ouch!

All the stoppers have no scratches in the anodization, it all looks new but everything is a mish mash of brands. I wonder if this stuff was stolen over many years and now the person has decided to unload.

Edit: saw more feet in other photos, they look like girls feet.

In Portraits of White Racism, David Wellman has defined racism as "culturally sanctioned beliefs, which, regardless of intentions involved, defend the advantages whites have because of the subordinated position of racial minorities”.[14] Sociologists Noël A. Cazenave and Darlene Alvarez Maddern define racism as “...a highly organized system of 'race'-based group privilege that operates at every level of society and is held together by a sophisticated ideology of color/'race' supremacy.

Hmmm, I wonder were I see this?
