Do you ever want to put "Fucking LOL" as a reply to a Facebook selling item...

[AndOutComeTheBoobs]

...when they are asking a fortune for a load of shite?

Or posting a picture of a grotty item and saying "need gone. Could do with a clean."

Or asking £1 less than what they actually sell for, brand new.

I really want to type "LOL, fuck off!" On them.

But I can't because im a total wuss and I care what people think of me. Fuck sake.

I've picked up some grubby stuff at car boot sales for next to nothing, thrown it through the washing machine and done well out of it. Why people don't clean beforehand is beyond me.

My favourite carboot seller is clearly someone's granny, and all clothes have been washed and ironed and neatly folded into age range and type - an absolute joy to buy from. Most of the rest put a mat on the ground and everything is in a grubby heap.

Had one woman on a local selling page, who would ask for items and then 'demand' that it has to be delivered to them!
I contacted her once and asked was it because she didn't drive (out in the countryside).
She replied with 'If people want to sell me things, they should deliver!'
She didn't even offer to pay for petrol!
What a CF!

There was one that made me laugh the other day. Advertised as a computer desk with cup holder. The "cup holder" was the hole that you put the wires through .

"Brand new, only worn a couple of times."

funniest thread for ages !

Has the item sold ?

Not surprised at that price ! is what I would love to reply

Bloke on ours keeps trying to flog DVD’s for stupid money

“Gavin and Stacey complete boxset £35. Grab an absolute bargain”...it’s £8 on Amazon mate...
“Complete Friends boxset £100. Amazing bargain” about £20 on Amazon...

which I pointed out once and got swiftly banned from the group

"Lots of items for sale, pm for details."

No picture, no nothing.

I love fb selling groups and marketplace and I do have a tendency to call people out on their shit

My biggest peeve is when you've had a hundred people after an item you've posted for sale, you've got a list as long as your arm of people virtually flinging their cash at you, yet people still keep asking and messaging you with "ah ok thanks for letting me know, but if you'd take £10 less then I will come round now and take it". If I was that fucking desperate to get rid of whatever item it is then it would be in the charity shop you knob head 🙄

This was a dog cage someone was selling on a local group. Just how much effort would it be to move all the rubbish off it really?

Thank you Vipers. I needed this thread today. I'm trying desperately hard not yo put many of the comments above on posts in our village selling group. It's gone a bit bonkers over the last month as 5 of us (yes, I'm one) are moving.
I've been asked why my stuff is selling, and theirs isnt, and if I can pass on some of the luck.... I didnt have the balls to say "price it at less than the local selling price", so was just none committal. But, for example, I put up 24 coathangers for £2. You can buy 8 for £2 about a mile away. Mine sold in about 10 mins. So, neighbour puts 10 hangers (same design) up for £5. Guess what? Noone has bought them, and she doesn't see why!

@blackcatclocks I saw the sudocrem too!!!! She was selling it for £3! I tried to find it to post on one of these threads and it had gone though (removed I imagine, not sold!)

I hate “need gone” or “want gone”.
Love when I see Chester Draws, Nestor Tables, Mat Truss or side bored.

I hate the need gone when it refers to a pet. Fucking arseholes

I confess to putting something up saying it could do with a clean. In my defence it was garden furniture, it was a bit grubby from being outside and I was offering it for free.

This is my favourite ad from my local selling group. A Primark vest top which they obviously didn’t have to hand, so they took a picture of a different phone which had a picture of the top on it. No time wasters

i messed someone the other day about something they had for sale for £30, offered £20 if collected straight away, they said no as loads of interest so they will keep price at £30, 5 days later said item is still for sale, for the sake of £10 you would think they would just sell the item

Related issue, I regularly offer stuff on freecycle (too lazy to try to get money plus it’s mostly worth v little, but I dislike waste). A few times I’ve offered v popular items eg a tv. The way some people respond is so rude/abrupt!! Plus badly punctuated...
“Can I have the tv”
“Hi is this available let me know when I can have it”
“Let me know when I can collect the tv”
No please or thank you! If it’s a popular item and I get multiple responses I always give it to the person who bothers to say please or, you know, sign off the email with their name.

Also, as already mentioned, cheeky requests. “Hi, really need a new fridge freezer please”. “Looking for an iPhone 7 or better”. Aren’t we all!!

£5 for a second hand primark vest! Don't they cost £3?!

A few years ago, I arranged to collect a scooter for DS. Half an hour before I was going out to collect it, she messaged to say she'd sold it to someone else, as they offered more money.
She then messaged me a week later to say the other person never turned up, so I was welcome to it, but at the higher price the other person was going to pay. I declined her kind offer

Free garden furniture being a bit grubby is so much different from manky baby stuff and people flogging primark vests for a fiver I inherited garden furniture and a bloody massive trampoline when we moved in I had to give it away nobody wanted it the trampoline ended up going to a charity so I have no idea who buys half of the rubbish on market place.

Actually I once relied ‘try giving it a clean’ to a poster who’d repeatedly bumped her own post.

It was a child’s plastic sit on toy. Light coloured and absolutely filthy.

Ha koomoo a bit of cif wll bring that up lovely

A member in one of the groups I’m on tells it how it is, not sure how they have not been banned for correcting lots of posters spelling of “for sell” and “Chester Draws” and ending in massive bun fights.

I only stay on the group as it’s absolutely comedy gold

@flatwhite jesus that dog cage picture...

hate the ones who play the sympathy card;
needed for pensioner/ disabled person asap
