It has been in for three days now, and NEED to know what it is!

Dinner set including cutlery or just a huge dinner set.

Ring it!

32 piece set, but no mention of what it's a set of? I'd have to ring the number I think Grin

I am thinking dinner set too, but I am hoping it is far more interesting!

My sister said that it might be a serial killer selling his post mortem tools, but as I said at £10 they wont be very good quality :o

Chickened out of ringing. Texted "Hi, I saw your ad in the XX and wondered what the 32 piece was made up of. Thanks"

Got a reply straight back "Is this a joke?" I said "No, it just didnt say in the paper what the set was." No reply so still none the wiser!

Curiouser and curiouser... Hmm

SquinkiesRule · 23/04/2013 18:22

He's gone off to find his copy of the paper to see what the ad says.
He's goin to feel like a right idiot when her reads it. Grin

SquinkiesRule · 23/04/2013 18:22

Sorry for all my typos.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 23/04/2013 18:23

Grin Has to be dinner set or teeth

rainbowslollipops · 23/04/2013 18:41

What is it?!!!!!!!????!!!!

M0naLisa · 23/04/2013 20:24

Hmm I saw dinner service

FannyBazaar · 23/04/2013 20:28

Nah, it's a set of alan keys and you can get them at a Poundshop.

GinOnTwoWheels · 23/04/2013 22:01

OP at the risk of asking the obvious, is the For Sale section of the paper divided into categories, eg Cutlery, Chess Pieces, Dinner Service etc and is the ad under one of these sections, hence the 'is this a joke' response from the seller?

Googling brings up a variety of suggestions, most of which have been listed by DontSHOUTTTT, but my money's on screwdriver bits.

TigerSwallowTail · 23/04/2013 22:30

The plot thickens... Maybe the seller is a mumsnetter and they're trying to confuse you even more?
