Person on FB marketplace is trying to sell individual sections of wood train track for £1 each. Some of which have kids felt tip scribbles all over it?

The whole lot would be around £20

I can buy a 60piece brand new set for £12 Confused

Plus these beautiful pieces are surrounded by complete sets at around £7

Most recently a washing machine listed as broken spares/repairs wanting £60🙄 and an empty, yes thats right empty jack daniels bottle for a tenner.
Someone also recently posted the most disgusting microwave I have ever seen as needs a good clean 🤣 got absolutely ripped to shreds for that.

@londongirl12

I once saw a pair of girls leggings for sale on there, £1, the description said "need a wash". 🤦🏻‍♀️
We've got a local FB freebie page.

The number of people like the above...or

It's a bit grubby/damaged/tatty but 'It'll do someone a turn'...or

Some people must have furnished their entire house as the minute something is offered they're there...or

Asking for something (washing machine, hoover etc), but very specific down to size/colour/make...or

'I'll have that, hun' without a Please or a Thank You.

It's eye-opening

@BounceyBumblebee

Some people appear to be using market place as a rubbish tip. Recently I've seen, dirty van seats that have bee in a shed £50. Beaten up 23 year old vauxhall corsa £2000. Empty perfume bottles. Empty spirt bottles.

People seem to think someone will want their old crap, which can sometimes be true - but don't charging people to take your old shit off your hands is a piss take.

I've seen empty perfume bottles on ebay (I was looking for a discontinued perfume at the time)
