I just don’t know what to say. It says underneath “10p each or pair for 30p”.

Shock I guess maybe someone might want them for a school project the terrible maths makes me think it's more likely to be a wind up though

Ask how many there are for sale. I wonder if, not that this makes sense the way it has been done, but two are one unit, so 4 are two units AKA a pair? So they'd be 40p but seller is cutting a deal at 30p?

🤣🤣🤣

SplintersOnTheFence · 20/09/2019 04:23

I suppose it might help if we saw the whole listingConfused

TheoriginalLEM · 20/09/2019 04:26

Eh?

Ticklemeelmo · 20/09/2019 04:40

Bargain, you should snap up 2 washing machine things for 30p

TheMustressMhor · 20/09/2019 04:55

I want a washing machine thing!

TheMustressMhor · 21/09/2019 12:27

After performing extensive research I regretfully came to the conclusion that washing machine things do not exist.

SamBeckett · 21/09/2019 12:33

I have no idea what they are but I want three NOW for 15p

The funniest one I ever saw was a woman advertising a M&S voucher to the value of £20 for £20. People offered £10 and £15 but she would only accept £20. Why would anyone buy it?

susiella · 21/09/2019 12:35

They come attached to Persil washing liquid containers.

Iliketeaagain · 21/09/2019 12:35

Oooh I have got about 20 of these on top of my washing machine.. I might try that, and make a whole £2 !!!!
Imagine what someone who works in the persil factory could make!

susiella · 21/09/2019 12:36

To be used to fill with Persil and do your laundry.

AlanThePig · 21/09/2019 12:48

To be fair, I've always used pods and Ocado sent my a huge bottle of Persil to review a few weeks ago. I tried to get a dosing ball and struggled as they don't seem to sell them in Tesco and the only way to get one was to apply to Persil, which meant I had to wait a week before I could use the liquid.
If these had been in my area I'd have happily bought them.

AlanThePig · 21/09/2019 12:56

I would have bought them individually I add 😂

Helpmelmaooo · 21/09/2019 13:21

@AlanThePig they are attached to the Persil bottle in the middle, if it’s a big bottle it should def have one

I reckon this post most have been a wind up or someone a bit backwards

You can pour it straight into the drawer!

Shockers · 21/09/2019 14:34

Come on though- they’re bound to be worth more as a pair- one in the middle of your mantelpiece isn’t going to look as effective as one on either end, now is it?

Now if they had glitter on them....

AlanThePig · 21/09/2019 16:28

I know it can be poured in the drawer but I really don't like it in there, gets messy.
@Helpmelmaooo apologies, it was a big bottle of ariel, which I'd assumed came with a ball but didn't.

TheMustressMhor · 21/09/2019 16:33

Thank you Muddlewitch for the valuable information re - washing machine things.

I will have to stop using washing powder and start using washing liquid to take full advantage of this, though.

It's a tricky one.
