I have bought a ton of stuff (literally) from Yahoo Japan Auctions (that’s where I got my car) and anecdotal evidence tells me that Japanese sellers are generally good-mannered, easy to deal with and honest.
The seller who posted the auction below, however, is way too honest than most.
The English translation would not do justice to the deadpan description that is almost comedic if it weren’t for the fact that the seller was truly serious about his auction.
Cursed Sanyo SR-9M/85L Mini 2-Door Refrigerator
This refrigerator was removed from a place beyond imagination
Frost had built up inside the direct-freeze-style freezer
And when cleaned…
From inside the frost came a huge clump of what looks like long human hair
In our profession, stories of beds whose mattresses have human-shaped imprints have become legends
This refrigerator is something comparable
The refrigerator is in good working order and clean
Will sell to someone who is looking for a working refrigerator and who won’t mind about its past
There are no shelves inside the fridge, which suggests a large solid object was previously stored there
Sanyo SR-9M 85L
Dimensions: 922cm x 476cm x 503cm (1997-made)Relatively clean for its age
There are scratches and marks from regular use
The ref, by the way, was not sold.
