Someone is selling a broken plastic coat hanger!

This is the oddest listing I've seen. Anyone else got odder?

Does the stand come with? For 99p I would want both Grin

sapnupuas · 01/02/2021 00:08

But, why?

Givemeabreak88 · 01/02/2021 00:09

I saw someone selling a plastic spoon like the ones that come in pasta pots

sortmylifeoutplease · 01/02/2021 00:10

I think they dare talking about the stand!

sortmylifeoutplease · 01/02/2021 00:10

Clevererthanyou · 01/02/2021 00:12

Sort my life out please - Ooooooh I think not, check out the description!!’

What the heck is that wrapping paper bunting they sold all about?
The have over the top reviews for weird random things and a few seem to be from the same buyer Confused

GeidiPrimes · 01/02/2021 00:14

I remember the plastic spoon (spork?) could this be the same person? Wasn't it a humiliation sub/dom thing?

So many unanswered questions.

WheresMyAlex · 01/02/2021 00:16

I once saw someone selling the polystyrene packaging from a tv box for something ridiculous like £10.
That 12 day of Christmas thing... wonder if anyone ever bought that for £700 Grin

Got to be spies sending messages.
Other guess would be some sex-related thingummy (I’m naive and innocent), but I can’t imagine what kind of dodgy fetish that would feed into.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 01/02/2021 00:18

They’re also selling some holey socks and a UPS envelope. There’s clearly a back story. Anyone fancy asking some questions?

changingnamesandkeepingsane · 01/02/2021 00:19

The OP's seller's other items are equally batshit.

jimmyhill · 01/02/2021 00:20

It'll be an alibi for something else.

GeidiPrimes · 01/02/2021 00:21

Come to think of it, spork bloke photographed all his items on his hairy thigh! Envy

LastStarFighter · 01/02/2021 00:21

I would assume it’s money laundering, but then ...why even go to the trouble of adding a description in that case?

Givemeabreak88 · 01/02/2021 00:24

GeidiPrimes yes that’s the one! He was selling all sorts of random things

Givemeabreak88 · 01/02/2021 00:26

He’s also selling a pack of cookies 🤔

MedwaymumofMany · 01/02/2021 00:35

There was me thinking my eBay search for kids H&M jumpers for £4.65 postage was crazy.

Hoarder clearing out very, very slowly their bin contents?

nicslackey · 01/02/2021 00:39

An opened packet of Ritz crackers for nearly 12 quid ffs?

Groundhog1 · 01/02/2021 00:46

They’re also selling a box of opened ritz crackers for £11.98. Very strange.

archery50 · 01/02/2021 00:47

Or this £2.99 box for £30 plus £28 postage?

HalfSizeMe · 01/02/2021 00:51

They're also selling a drug that's a treatment for cancer

MedwaymumofMany · 01/02/2021 00:52

£28 postage for the £3 box? So £60 in total. Bargain!

Flapjackninja · 01/02/2021 00:56

One of the listings is a Wilko's plastic tub with a £2.99 price label still on it and it's listed for £30 plus £20.80 postage!?!? Confused
