Item condition: Occasion   :lol:   "Occasion"... wtf is that supposed to mean?

It means "used" in French (i.e., une voiture d'occasion - a used car), and I'm guessing it's a literal translation from other languages and possibly an obsolete usage in English. It's weird that US eBay even allowed it as an option/didn't localize it. Weirder still that the more-correct "Used" appears elsewhere in the listing.

Maybe his wife's making him sell things but he doesn't want to get rid of them: "Sorry, honey, it just didn't sell. I don't know why!"
