I dunno which one's more stupid? The guy that's listing it or the dude that's gonna buy it.

People can get the brochure for free from any Ford dealers, better yet... you can request brochures for free from ford.com.au. :

When I looked for a new car, I got all the car manufacturers to send me all their brochures. They did this for nothing...

Oh well, as long as people are stupid enough to buy pieces of toast sporting the "face of jesus", or free car brochures, people will sell it on eBay.

I can give you all a little explanation on this, some people ( i dont know why the f for) collect the brochues of cars. You may find it hard to get an aussie brochure in america. So hence they sell them on ebay. But yes, its stupid but its ebay lol

I guess If you have enough space to store stuff you could pick up a whole bunch of free brochures and stuff and sell them 50 years down the track as 'vintage'

Also my brother's car is for sale on ebay is anyone is interested... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MESE%3AIT&rd=1

You dont have to sell worldwide to attract overseas buyers. You can go to www.ebay.co.uk, or www.ebay.com and buy stuff. But yeah the ammount of money you MIGHT get down the track would be stuff all.
