What exactly is "tls"? A bonus in the ad are the outlandish value claims. And, you have to shudder at the staggering lack of basic math skills (or the ability to use a calculator) to arrive at 3 x5 =18.
TLS is probably TLC (tender loving care).. at $75 the guy isn't asking an outrageous amount though looking at the condition i wouldn't want to pay more than $50
