Its easy, while typing the add you just press the M - I - N and T buttons on your keyboard.

 

Maybe she was referring to the Julep she was drinking?

 

Don't all mint condition vehicles need paint and engine work?

Dang auto-correct (oh shoot, this isn't text, is it)

[bongobobny]

Ohhh,, I dunno Tuffy,, I always LOVED ads like that back when I was restoring scoots.. I used to call folks like that I if had any interest at all in that particular model, I wouldn't discuss anything over the phone - just get an address, show up with cash and a trailer.. Look at the scoot and very kindly say something like "IMHO, that is a good ways from "mint" condition", be glad to help you be rid of the "project" and haul it away for 250 bucks CASH right now"... Never hurts to try if its something your interested in!!

Used to embarrass me when my father in law would do that to total strangers. After decades of watching him buy cars bikes real estate boats businesses by simply throwing that low ball offer out there (even when item isn't "on the market") I'm no longer shy about following his line, "You gotta butter the biscuit while it's hot!"

The fact that the girl friend placed the ad for him makes me suspecct that he probably was embarassed to ask that much. I suspect cowpuc is right on this one, that it could be bought for pennies on the dollar.

When I read "trades" I figured I would offer to trade her a couple hundred for it. I had a GS 1100 like that. It was a pretty good touring bike. But it is antique engineering now. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I have seen this several times where a car is advertised and noted with damage, like on the right side and of the six pictures, not a single one includes the right side.
