I'll take 2.

I love that this price doesn't even include postage, which will be HUGE apparently, and that it's used... I wonder what he would have charged if it was new!

ITS BASED ON AN UPTURNED QUALITY STREET CHOC TIN for that price he could have at least included the chocolates!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/09/2018 15:25

If it's used, that begs the question of how he could bear to part with it ... unless he's created something even better for this Christmas?

TheTrapDoor · 27/09/2018 15:26

Grin 5 golden onion rings, that well known traditional Christmas delicacy

I feel bad for him! 😩 PLEASE NO INSULTS FOR FUN you bunch of meanies!

EnidButton · 27/09/2018 15:34

Hang on, I missed the onion rings 😯

Bluelonerose · 27/09/2018 15:34

Op. What were you looking for that you found that instead? Confused

BalloonSlayer · 27/09/2018 15:43

A bit embarrassed to admit that it's no way as bad as I expected from reading the comments on here. I thought it was rather sweet actually, something a fond Grandad would make to amuse his Grandkids at Christmas. Not sure about the £700 price tag of course.

That ain't no pear tree.

MaryDollNesbitt · 27/09/2018 15:47

That's the fugliest looking thing I've ever seen in my life.

PickAChew · 27/09/2018 15:48

IT IS QUITE MAGNIFICENT.

I’m exhausted.

Favourite line.

MaryBoBary · 27/09/2018 16:08

@LookImAHooman I think p+p is included and is being used to justify the £700 price tag!!

Bluelonerose · 27/09/2018 16:08

See now that is worth the money it's gorgeous.

PawneeParksDept · 27/09/2018 16:08

The clincher for me is that it's made from a presumably used old Quality Street Tin and therefore it can double as a cake tin.

I mean what more could one ask for?

Is it glittery? Picture hun

My kidney is far too upmarket to be glittery but it does have a touch of sparkle........hun.

Spongeface · 27/09/2018 16:22

I love this!
Also curious as to what the replacement for this year was going to be... Looks like Santa's sleigh! Overbought reindeer tho meaning there is 100 up for sale?! (If I read that right) should we? The description is another belter :)
