Empty bottle of wine, for sale, anyone?

[FasterThanASnakeAndAMongoose]

Spotted this little bargain on a Facebook selling page earlier...

Yes indeed, it's an empty bottle of wine! Ideal Christmas present for someone you hate no?

Any other gems?

Christ, if I went through my re-cycling bin I'd have a whole business empire

How much? I could be sitting on a gold mine

Good point!

Please tell me what those 16 comments say

Have a bin full outside {hic}

Surely it's not a bottle of wine, though, since there's no wine in it.

Inbox for prices hun

I always find these things a tad sad. People are desperate for money and root out anything in the hopes someone will want it.

Ha! The 16 comments are all enquiries about the other tat she's selling - novelty Christmas tupperware, lipglosses and the like.

No one has enquired about the wine bottle yet but I'll keep a beady eye on the post...

I did think that too user, but I'm still gobsmacked.

I hate it when people say inbox me for prices. Just type the bloody price!!!

I think my parents had a bottle like this. They used it as a candlestick cos it was the 70's and gave ambience.

These Facebook selling pages are special special places.

I'm a lazy toad and can't be bothered to take things to the tip/charity shop so bung them on these pages for a couple of quid and people come and pay me to take away stuff! No effort really needed and saves me lugging stuff around!

I can visualise that bottle in my local Chiquitos rustic Spanish taverna.

Sure it's only a few quid more expensive with wine in from Lidl

Ah, well, it's not often you come across that type of bottle anymore so I get why you'd sell it instead of binning it. They're used for candles and some restaurants still use them.

I sell my empty whisky bottles because someone turns them into 'lamps' with fairly lights inside and sells them for a massive amount. It makes my whisky £3-5 cheaper because I get that return on the bottle!! As long as they keep buying, I'll keep selling. Who's daft?

I saw a bottle like this last week when I went to the bottle bank! It obviously wouldn't fit in the hole. I missed a trick there. After reading the Xmas fb tat thread, it did occur to me to take it home and stencil a reindeer on it or something.

I don't think I've ever seen a facebook selling page. Where are they??

Temp just type your hometown into FB search bar e.g. Brighton Buy and Sell and your local page should come up as a search result.

I would say someone who'd buy a whiskey bottle with some fairy lights would be the daft one.

Where do I sell these bottles? We've got a load of whisky/gin/other spirits. It'd make the recycling look better too.

There's someone like this on my local FB selling page. I hope she's just a chancer but there's a side of me that feels she might be desperate for money and thus I feel bad. I have a constant internal struggle between scorn and sympathy! I might just leave the group instead..... less emotional turmoil.
