[Phono-L] Edison Opera

[funk]

I wrote to the seller also for information and received this reply---- 


Hi thank you for asking the ? First let me say this this is a research study
to see how much % of people will bid on this item with out asking any ? The
item is worded to sell a photo or picture of the phonograph, in this
research study we have 20 people already have bid on this listing with out
asking any ?s.If this were not a study these people buy law would have to
pay for a photo or picture!! there is 2 bids on the other auction also,WE
will be ending this listing before its time ends, there will be no charge to
any one!! We will how ever post our finding on our about me page Blog when
this is over. I hope this will help some people read and ask ?s first before
bidding and or buying there is a lot of things out there to be ware of this
is a teaching tool so people will learn to read,if you would like put this
on your watch list and see just how many people do bid?Thank you for the ?
good ebayer

I then reread the ad and the first line states:

 You are Viewing and or buying  the item photos or pictures that you are
looking at,as they depict
A early Edison Model A type S M  Opera Phonograph that was made in  1911 the
picture show how the horn is made from wood and not metal as with later
models

The ad has now been ended by seller. I would hate to see any of their
research writing as they need to learn basic sentence structure and spelling
to actually write something that is understandable, at least by me.

Notice the wording. It is not always proper English grammer. Could this 
seller be located outside USA even though he/she says Indiana?
Sincerely.
