Every now and then, you get one that not only makes you a bit of money, but gives you a good laugh - often at the owners expense - as well.
Today, I had a genuine original Watkins Copicat cross my bench, with the complaint "Has through signal, but no effects - swell, sustain etc."
Quite true. It didn't. I usually find, in cases like this, it's helpful to have the tape loop not fitted inside out ... !!
