To be p*ssed off that people are using MN as a free alterntive to ebay

[geordiemacmummy]

I know its been done hundreds of times before but at the moment it seems worse than ever.

I'm all for people selling on things that they dont need, things that would appeal to other MN'ers, but its getting ridiculous.

"For Sale" 1 garden shed, "L" REG ford fiesta, 7 garden knomes, a dog, four AA batteries and a kitchen sink"

People are selling the most unbelievable crap, and even worse than that bumping it up 20 or 30 times a day - take the fcuking hint - no one wants your junk.

I know that I can click on the no selling button but thats not really the point. I'm sure Mumsnet must be recommend on some money saving site as a free site to off load your crap.

There are some people that are only using the "For Sale" section, nothing else. I picked a random person just now, did a search on messages today - nearly 200... ALL IN THE SALE SECTION!!

Do us all a favour.. WWW.EBAY.CO.UK

Reported one yesterday who was so obviously selling a job lot, thread got deleted. Worth doing if you happen to come across anything sus. Saw that poster too, Fllightattendant , basically soliciting as much as she/he can on the cheap

Very sad wabbit!

Is n't there an official term for someone selling(or "swapping" ) things on before they actually possess the goods themselves like www.mumsnet.com/Talk/1376/405459. Poster has done it before too.

Love your village analogy SatanGeorge

The ones that make me are the ones that say 'genuine tiffany neklace' or whatever, and you think but WHO ARE YOU and WHERE DID YOU NICK IT FROM? Because we don't know, do we? And asking isn't going to help- 'ah yes guv tis honest m'lud straight as a die, swear by me own name cut me own throat dibbler so t'is'

A bit of left over baby stuff a la NCT- fine, its turning silly lately imo.

D'you know though? I really really really really need a piss.

If I hold onto it any longer I might just wet myself, but I'm kidding myself that my pelvic floor is getting stronger. Should I go or hold on for a world record?
