To think that FB local sales pages could get aggressive?

[SamuelWestsMistress]

I saw an advert for something for £40 this morning and was negotiating a deal with the seller. We agreed on a price and I went and picked it up. All pretty obvious for all to see!

When I got home I saw a message from someone else saying

"I'll gi ye 40£ 4 ths. Dnt take ne less from this cheeky bitch lol. Can pick up now. Sum ppl just want to rip others off xxxx"

AIBU to think this is a little over aggressive?

And I'll add another one if I may...

AIBU to wish to fuck people would STOP using such ridiculous text talk?

Yeah I've noticed a few fights in these groups.

Don't get this carry on with ebay!

There was a big bitch up on our local one this week over some Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs. It got quite heated

It really kicked off on my local page last week when someone was trying to sell her Healthy Start vouchers There were people calling her all sorts and she was getting really defensive and started threatening people.

I live in a lovely area

I had to leave our local groups for the sake of my own sanity. They put my blood pressure through the roof.

You're going to slate me and I don't care - a serious seller of clothing who insisted modelling her own stuff. If you bleach your hair to the point of it falling out, have Croydon Facelift, spray yourself orange, and insist in cramming your rather buxom body into clothes 3 sizes to small, and 6 inches too short in dubious poses - it wasn't pretty. At least I think she was selling clothes

I saw a cracker the other day friend selling in her area sold the item and she got abuse for selling to the person , with such lovliness as I was fucking needing that more than her thanks for nothing, and you never even gave anybody else a chance sell to your buddies eh sigh

I also see pets being bought and sold through these groups and I find it sad that dogs cats and pigs go back and forth

here were people calling her all sorts and she was getting really defensive and started threatening people.

don't the vouchers have names on them the old milk tokens used too ?

she must have been saving them up because dd says they are worth £3.10 a voucher she works in a supermarket

Yep. People were telling her it was illegal and they're for food for kids but she said that she could let whoever bought them know the name of a corner shop that takes them for anything!

It got very heated.

That is grim English when I had dd1 we got milk tokens as we were on benefit at the time i would buy milk but there was a shop where you could buy fags or booze with them

Am at the person selling HS vouchers :(

Although where I used to live the local shop used to accept them for fags.

What are Healthy Start vouchers?

I know my dd work is really strict as people chance their arm with them

What are Healthy Start vouchers?

weekly vouchers for under 5s I think people on low income and benefits get them they are worth £3 odds a week they replaced the old milk tokens I think you can get milk fruit andveg with them

I was wondering when this would reach mn.....
My friends use our local page but we do call it 'baby scab chav and sell anything'.........and regularly text each other with the amusing listings

Going to have a nose on my local ones. I didn't even know they existed tbh...

I havnt used them I do see other posting though a woman I know through a friend was selling a kouni kouni pig they are supposed to be micro pigs but they can grow really huge I did at the thought of somebody buying a cute little piggy then it growing into a monster

i use them they can be very handy picking up a bargan. and easy to sell on.

they can get heated .. i cant think of any really good funny ones though. :/

Niiice. From mine Canvas. "Woordrob 5pound"

Ours is like this. It's full of 'I asked first' and 'oh I'll give you 50p more and collect in the next 10 minutes'. The fight over a trampoline once was quite something to behold!

Oh please more

I bought a wii once, I've never seen any fighting though

ooo OP it sounds very netmumsy

I love the netmums boards, love how its an instant bunfight if someone didn't say "thanks in advance" at the end

and the name and shames :

• waited for 90 hours for X to come and pick up my item, couldn't feed my children or change their bums because I was waiting at the door, some people are so inconsiderate
• I tried to collect but you didn't reply to my message with your address or telephone number

LOL love it!

How do you find your local FB sales page?

I put my Borough in the search thinking it would come up, but it didn't?

Put your town name and "for sale" or something similar and it should come up.
