i have 2-3 of these am selling them individually

“linnksys”? Ok, maybe that’s a typo. But “roughter”? I’ve seen the illiterates that populate the intarweb really mangle some spellings in the past, but those manglings usually err on to the side of simplifying the spelling incorrectly, not making it more elaborate. And this person has 2-3 of them? They don’t know how many they have? What causes the number of “roughters” for sale at any time to vary? What does it mean that they’re being sold individually? Is that one to a customer? Why would you not sell all two or maybe three of them to a single person if they’re willing to buy?

This is probably a ploy to draw stupid people to someone’s home for an old-fashioned ass raping. Watch out!
