don't be taken by this ad

So there, not one confirmable lie or totally misleading statement.

OK, so he gets a pass on his first ad. But what about the "Imported from Italy" in his second ad?

He reduced the price to $100, but now it's a combination machine.

So there, not one confirmable lie or totally misleading statement. Nonetheless, I'd avoid this guy like a snake oil salesman, because of the tone and because I know better.

True, there is not one confirmable lie or misleading statement, but the ad as a whole is very misleading. Unfortunately, he is banking on someone not knowing any better.
