Well, you have to remember, in ebay terms "Excelent paint job" means "Painted mostly within the lines"

Someone needs to come up with a conversion table for Ebay terms much like the one commonly used for online personal ads...
ie in personal ads:
cute = fat
voluptuous = really fat
lonely = desperate
so for eBay:
Pro Painted = painted like crap, but hopefully my grainy 10x10 pixel image hides that
LQQK = the flea market got rained out so I m trying to pawn my crap on you
Rare = available through GW mail order
Any obvious ones I m missing?

A couple:
Converted bloodbowl player = Fantasy figure with broken weapon.
Converted mutant bloodbowl player = Figure with missing limb.
Bloodbowl team = 4-10 figures usually including about 3 official bb miniatures the rest made up of various fantasy figures from numerous manufacturers.
Don't know much about these things but it says 1991 on the base = The mold for plastic bases was made in 1991, the figure is still available from GW mail order.
Bloodbowl Accessories = I've bought a new boxed set, so am selling off all the old bits that are creased, torn, stained, etc plus a few photocopies from White Dwarf.
No Reserve = I've started it at a ridiculously high price so a reserve is pointless.
Buyer pays for all postage costs (not specified) = If it doesn't sell for as much as I'd like, I'll add on a few extra quid/dollars afterwards.
Bloodbowl dice = Small multi-sided shape with numbers on (ie anything but block dice)
Bitter and Twisted, Me?

Technically, a professional painter would just be one who makes money by painting... so if anyone buys his figures (which they're not, apparently), he's a professional. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's good.
