I think this seller comes across as very eccentric. Almost like my autistic son in some of the creations made.

Has 100% feedback too. Impressive considering the number of sales he/she has.

Oh I saw the thread title and was hoping it would be this one! I love it even more than I did last year. Xmas Grin

I LOVE IT! I would absolutely buy it if it was, say, £50..

My only criticism is its lack of glitter - a shitload of glitter would make it into perfection itself..

puds11 · 06/12/2019 14:20

@Chemenger lords are leaping...duh Grin

Chemenger · 06/12/2019 14:34

I feel so stupid now...

puds11 · 06/12/2019 14:36

Tbf anyone who can look at it without their brain exploding is doing well Grin

GlamGiraffe · 06/12/2019 14:40

Do you think we should now perhaps all inundate the seller with really strange queries right now??

He/she'll think it's her lucky day at first, then......

ReginaGeorgeous · 06/12/2019 14:50

Oh my. I wasn't on MN last Christmas but I'm amazed this wonderful masterpiece has been on ebay all this time. I mean, it belongs in the Louvre.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 06/12/2019 15:00

But they're not even lords on those horses, puds11, just jockeys - you'd have thought he'd give them a bit of a cloak or a coronet or something

And the huge, plaster of paris base ... won't that be getting really dusty by now??

puds11 · 06/12/2019 15:09

@Puzzle I think the rationale was that the horses were leaping off the cake Grin

Not as festive but still amazing! From the description:
Between courses I time travelled the party to various time zones / dimensions, including Hell, Bio shock (1964) , Iraq (1999) , and 50 years into the future ~ each time I went out for a loook around, and they met Hell boy, a Big Daddy, Saddam Hussain, and I dressed up as my son in 50 years time !!!!

minisoksmakehardwork · 06/12/2019 16:09

No wonder it hasn't sold. It's a Christmas tree. It should be a pear tree.

labazsisgoingmad · 06/12/2019 16:14

looks like a 3 years old has tipped his toybox on it

emzey · 06/12/2019 16:25

That is fucking awful. It needs to be taken out to the back garden, have copious amounts of petrol poured over it and set on fire. I understand that's not good for the environment but this is shit.
Sorry Gretta twatsyourface

emzey · 06/12/2019 16:26

Oh bugger, I mean gretta whatsyourface...really am sorry for that!

LaurieFairyCake · 06/12/2019 16:30

You know how the Royal Family buy each other tacky, gaff gifts ? - this is PERFECT for Queenie Grin

Meghan take note...

LittleDidSheKnow · 06/12/2019 16:44

I saw this last year too, and the MN thread. I do actually feel sorry for the guy; it's unfathomable that anyone could be so deluded as to think anyone would want this crap for a fiver, never mind £700.

Also, I'm a bit worried that this will end up in the DM!

tectonicplates · 06/12/2019 16:48

I still think one of you lot should put in a really low offer and see what happens.

EpcotForever · 06/12/2019 17:00

I'm disappointed it's only a foot tall. I need this in a 7foot version..

emzey · 06/12/2019 17:05

£1 bid going in...

Lordamighty · 06/12/2019 17:05

I am always scared when I look at these monstrosities in case I accidentally click the wrong thing & end up buying it. Blush

Why doesn’t the steam punk link work for me... I need to see!
Also like that there are clearly 62 MNers now watching it the 12 day’s.
