To think that there are some things that just shouldn’t be sold on Facebook marketplace...

[HopeWish]

...or at all for that matter!

Casually browsing through marketplace/local selling groups for some second hand baby stuff and so far I have seen:

• A freezer drawer full of meat bagged in freezer bags with no dates on. Person wants £30 for it because they are moving house and don’t want to take it.

• Opened, half used make-up.

• This cake (pictured) that terrified the hell out of me.

Don’t get me wrong, I am all for reducing waste or making a bit of extra cash through a “side hustle” but there are some things that just make me go “yuck!”.

Ready to be told that yes IABVU!

Hahaha. But someone might want a dogpig cake?!

Haha terrifying cake! Yeah so many people on fb marketplace selling food etc as a side hustle but you have no idea what their food hygiene rating is, what they're putting in it, it's not regulated at all.

Is that some kind of weird dog/pig hybrid on that cake?

I particularly like the second hand mattress sales - especially those with the unidentified grim stains on them. I guess some people will try anything to try and dispose of what is essentially rubbish.

@Lindy2

Tell me about it!

Last week I saw someone selling a sofa as “pristine condition” when there was an enormous stain across it!

I love the 'needs a clean'. So bloody clean it before you put it on then you manky person. It's usually filthier than the hobs of hell too.

People selling mirrors is a great facebook group btw😁

On a serious note I am incredibly concerned about the amount of cooked food for sale in there when it's clear many have no hygiene cert and food registration...

Apparently it's just juice

If you don't have a Labrador/boar cross with excessive bloating, can you even call yourself a dog lover?

^Marketplace is full of people selling food items and not mentioning food hygiene certificates etc

A lot of the food ones on my local fb pages too, makes you think who's actually buying food off any Tom, dick or Harry.

Agreed with the food!

Something I’ve seen a lot of lately is home made cookies/brownies/chocolate wrapped up in cellophane with a naff bookmark or similar as a “thank you, teacher” gift.

They are usually extortionately priced for what you get, and as a teacher myself I never eat home made food given to me by children. I’d imagine other teachers are the same!
