why cant people just advertise there stuff without trying to guilt you into buying something?!
before anyone says ignore the for sale board.......i dont want to,i like browsing it and buying off it!

YANBU, but why not just tell them?

"You are not going to guilt me into buying this so piss off!"

There you go. Easy!

Smee did you get round to looking out some clothes for my little Bro.I did email but no reply. No problem if you don't have anything to sell/give. Just my Mums been asking if i found anything for him

And in answer to your question- i sometimes put something like that in the title on for sale.ie Raising money for new washing machine!

No Problemo to me- if it is a bargain i buy it whether or not they say "oh please help me raise the bail money to avoid jail/need money for my new prosthesis/need money for gin if it is not a bargain i dont buy -end of

  • I was going to start one of those threads tomorrow........as I never get ANY responses to my "normal" for sale headings......

I guess I'll just now bother as either way it appears no-one is going to buy from me

Hmm, perhaps I will try 'NEED MONEY FOR GIN/CRYSTAL METH/NAKED OILED SLAVE BOYS' next time.

Santasmissyontheside · 08/12/2007 22:38

she's in (or has been for 2wks) 3-6 months clothes and is 12 weeks

anyhow glad you're ok! hijack over

ScottishMummy · 09/12/2007 11:40

madamez- would you consider part-ownership of said NAKED OILED SLAVE BOYS and Ginplease post that in for sale i woild love it

nappyaddict · 09/12/2007 11:46

i normally put "nappyaddict cannot walk around her house without doing some sort of obstacle course. please help her get rid of some stuff." is that acceptable?

ScottishMummy · 09/12/2007 12:11

to me yes but maybe more financially explicit so what about "nappyaddict cannot walk around her house without doing some sort of obstacle course. please help her raise zillions and squillions of filty mula and get rid of some stuff."

madamez · 09/12/2007 22:52

Svottishmummy: if I had the naked slave boys and gin I would rent them out by the hour. Well maybe not the gin.

PaulaYatesbiggestfan · 09/12/2007 22:53

i always feel like saying fgs pull the other one
the one about the stolen car keys and garage was beyong belief

nappyaddict · 09/12/2007 23:22

these things do happen maybe you should give people the benefit of the doubt?

ScottishMummy · 10/12/2007 08:52

but it is the "for sale" board eg requiremment to make some dosh so i dont mind people being explicit about amounts after all why be coy

anyhoo, back to these lithe oiled up slave boys and gin...
