To remind everyone of the little Christmas gem on ebay, that no-one has bought yet.

[GetTheFlockOutOfHere]

Don't miss out folks... It was for sale last year, and it's back this year, as there were no takers. SHOCKER!

It's the '12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS MASSIVE TABLE CENTER PIECE DECORATION - ALL DAYS / FIGURES!'

Just £699.99. Don't walk, RUN, or you'll miss it!

Oh my!

Omg nooo I'd forgotten about this! Better get bidding...

I do love this. Hes had it up for sale for years and years and no one has bought it yet

I wonder why?

Should the decimal point be after the number 6?
It's just all sorts of wrong.

Oh I so wanted this last year but my budget just wouldn’t stretch! Looks like I’ll miss out this year and all because I bought Xmas eeyore bedding

The 5 gold rings are actually LOTR collectibles.
I think given the description clearly a lot of work has gone into getting the bits together and while I wouldn't want it I hope someone enjoys it.

Again! I think be been reading this thread every year for about 5 years.

Is it it the same one or does he make new every year? Tbf I can’t imagine parting with £700 for centerpiece even if it was made of gold, never mind plaster of Paris.

Just read the description and the Christmas Day menu which accompanied this masterpiece 😂 Onion rings anyone??

never mind plaster of Paris.
Don't forget the best bit... on an upturned quality street tin

Oh NO!

What a shame!

Wait, so it's not even a real cake?

@WorriedMumsDontSleep

Wait, so it's not even a real cake?

If it is, it has some hellish preservatives in it!

Oh my gosh!! I don’t even know where to start!

I thought this might be a front for money laundering, but they seem genuine!

Omg I want it so badly!

(Said nobody ever)

They do seem to be genuine, and the ebay seller has oodles of feedback, and they have been on ebay for 21 years. (Didn't know ebay had been going that long to be honest!) But it's so odd that this particular item keeps re-surfacing every year. As a pp said further back, I think this is the 5th year it's been up. There can't be more than one surely?!

If you read the HUGE write-up on it (when you scroll down,) they are VERY proud of it.

It just won't sell for some reason! Could it be the main reason that a house doesn't sell? THE PRICE! I mean, who the fluff is going to pay £700 for this? Seriously?!

As soon as I read the thread title I knew what this would be about.

I love how tacky and wonderful it is. Perhaps if we all put in a quid it could be the official mn Christmas decoration. Or there at least needs to be a mn emoji of it.

Oooh I like!

Mumsnet could try and get a miniature of it made and offer it to people for £20, or maybe do a framed pic, or coasters.

What the actual befuckery?!

Befuckery! Love it!

£250

Good grief. I might offer a penny. Free postage at least

@GetTheFlockOutOfHere - you made me curious enough about eBay to go and check when I started my account, it was 2005!!!
