I love the human comedy (in which I have a leading role, by the way). 
This seller, who's trying to unload his E kit after a matter of days. 
also has to convince everyone that it's the best thing since sliced 
bread. This sales pitch could only be aimed at an impulse buyer who 
wasn't all that familiar with the DTXPIIISP, presumably like the 
seller himself, though the seller's own precedent undermines it (he's 
selling it, isn't he?). Anyone who was informed about the DTXPIIISP 
wouldn't need the superfluous, superficial build-up. So, in other 
words, the seller is targeting someone like himself who doesn't 
really want it. All right, I admit the sophistry, but in every 
sophistry, there's at least a smidgeon truth. However, I submit that 
he could cut the crap; no one needs the carnival barking.
