Would you buy this?
Blue shirt, new but size not marked. I just got
it, you can to. Looks kinda big. One button looks
like it got chipped or cracked but it fine
anyways. Theres a little hole in the neck but you
really cant see it unless you get real close.
Its a great shirt worth more than here. All
bidders agree to my terms. Final sale as is.
Buyer pays shipping and handling and price of
auction. My shipping charges are not negotiable.
If your not gonna pay then dont bid. My brother
runs a collection agency and you will get
negative feedback and lots of trouble.

How about
Blue mens dress shirt. There is no size marked
but I wear 16 and it fits fine.This shirt is
new but not perfect. One button is cracked and
there is a small hole in the collar.100
