This is the most cryptic ad there has to be a hidden message somewhere..all sideways cutoff and blurry pics, a bumped order for David, an invoice inquiry by Ferris. Above all Mysterious boxes full of delicious meats and a Batman pin thrown in....the Riddler has something to do with this.

Don't pay extra for that meat. As the text states, they were not invoiced so he got them free.

Trying to piece the mystery together:
Guessing he is a manager in a kitchen. EEs sent him the pic wondering why they got the mystery meat. You can see a food invoice as a thumbnail to the text stating they were not charged. Having run many kitchens, I have done my part. Now someone needs to piece together the rest of the mystery so we can understand how this relates to the Comet.

Once I got over the headache of looking at all the pics, and eating a hamburger, that looks like a super nice Comet that is WAY UNDERPRICED.

This shouldn't last long. That burger won't either if he doesn't get it in the fridge.

I’m betting those other pics were tests to see if he could get them to post vertical.
Why he left them in, I can’t figure.

You may be right! Probably not a bad idea to drop the OP a PM and tell him to clean up the ad a bit. $750 for a Comet, even in this condition, could be a good deal.

Bought a game from Rob long time ago. No meat. Just game. As-is player’s condition type stuff seems to be his thing usually. He was easy to work with and accurate in his description. I’ve no beef with him.

Last time I got beef on the side of buying something was my windshield getting installed.

(Well, I can't say that's the truth seeing as how the last person who did my windshield install later sold me their Stellar Wars)
