I thought the glittered up Buckfast bottles on ours which were advertised as ideal 18th or 21st birthday pressies were extremely classy :D

if anyone has more than one new with tags item, i always assume it left the store stuffed in the bottom of a sports bag!

myotherusernameisbetter · 26/07/2014 21:35

lol - i quite often sell new with tags items as I tend to overbuy and not return stuff - I don't steal!!

Someone on mine sells Leappad Ultra games for £5, new. They say they can get any game.
So what's the score here - are they stolen or forgeries or what?

impatienceisavirtue · 26/07/2014 22:34

They are hilarious.

I would never ever consider buying off the one it was added to ages ago, the place is just plain scary. I never comment. I also wouldn't want the aggro of even giving something away for free on there - as I said, it's a scary place....but I can't bring myself to leave the group as the ridiculous bickering is entertaining on a rainy day.

My local page has someone selling a Hello Kitty ring binder for 25p! I mean, seriously?! Is it even worth it for 25p?! I would be really embarrassed to hand that over to someone and ask them to give me 25 pence. Is it just me who would be a bit mortified? I could probably dig around the back of the sofa and find more than 25p if times were that tough.

BridgettRousselot · 26/07/2014 22:47

I put up a post on my local site giving things away for free, people would not show up, want you to deliver things to them or turn up and want you to carry it to their car and things like that.

I have given away things to some lovely people who thanked me and were no trouble at all.

I find it quite shocking the way some people behave on that free site.

myotherusernameisbetter · 26/07/2014 22:51

ha ha - would it be worth the petrol to collect Lozza ? Maybe they could deliver.....

He got banned :o

I don't even know how to get on these elusive FB selling sites!

I am obviously missing out.

My favourite Freecycle one was asking for a car, fully taxed and MOTd. Well, ok then.

myotherusernameisbetter · 26/07/2014 23:00

ha ha.

Just type sale and the name of your town in the search box and see what comes up

The MN for sale pages sadly went the same way.

EmmaFreudsGivingMeJip · 26/07/2014 23:27

My local site-
'For sale, various kids toys' No photos or description...

'Gemed ashtrays, £5 can be done in all colours' See photo

'Candles with dimontie on can add names' See photo..

Emma Shock the gems aren't even bloody straight! AS for the candles....and it's ALWAYS "Dimonte" or "Dimontie"

MorphineDreams · 26/07/2014 23:43

Emma I would not be able to hold back my sarcastic comments if I saw those.

BridgettRousselot · 26/07/2014 23:44

There is a rude lady on my local group asking for bunting in glitter for India Hopkins Wink

MrsWinnibago · 26/07/2014 23:51

What's "bunting in glitter" and who is India Hopkins?

YourKidsYourRulesHunXxx · 26/07/2014 23:58

Absolutely pissing myself at the candles and ash tray! Those gem stickers look like they came out of a child's party bag!

Mrsjayy · 27/07/2014 00:06

I knew somebody who used to crystal gem things it started with phone cases last I saw she was doing babydummies and shoes blingtastic Grin

YourKidsYourRulesHunXxx · 27/07/2014 00:16

This was on a local buy and selling page. I didn't click on the link because... well... I'm not allowed to...
