Does Crazy Ad Copy Move Product?

I'm posting a lot of items on eBay this week. One of the items is an MP3 player, an iPod knockoff. It works fine, but those Chinese vendors somehow list these things starting at .99 cents with free shipping. It doesn't leave room to realistically make even five bucks selling a no-name MP3 player.

So I wrote up some goofy ad copy and threw in a freebie to hopefully drive some traffic and maybe get bids on other items I'm selling this week.

Will it work? Take a look for yourself. You could become the proud owner of The World's WORST Hair and Beard Trimmer.

Am I simply deranged, or would you throw .98 cents my way after reading that?

What could I have done differently? Is it hoping for too much to think I could sell a cheap item and maybe get traffic to my other auctions?

It will be fun to watch how this plays out.

Btw, I do have a lot of interesting items for sale this week at reasonable prices, especially if you're a Pearl Jam fan, so take a peek if you have time. More items are going up daily.

Thanks.

I look forward to your comments.
