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!

It's so out of place compared to the other stuff that the seller has sold.

Anyone else find it really hard to read the all caps lock description?

I was all set to buy it…… but a different bird painted to look like a partridge?! WTF! So glad I read the wonderfully worded description, I would have been so disappointed, surely a partridge in a pear tree, should be held in the highest esteem!

That cost £6 to make, tops 🤣

Christ... I ve got this terrible feeling I ll buy that. Like I ll stop concentrating on being a rational human being for five minutes and I ll press buy it now. Or I ll have another glass of wine and decide it would be hilarious.

Oh come on, there is enough of us! £1 each and its ours!

Thing is....who is tacky enough to send it to?

@tearinghairout

"I couldn't find a partridge toy" Well, that's no good, is it?

Well, quite! It’s pretty obvious that if you don’t have the right animal for the job, you use a dinosaur.

Or if you really have to, a festive gonk.

Amateurs 😆

Forget Carol’s from Kings. This tree and a thread should mark the start of Christmas each year

Well… I don’t have any words…
And what’s sweet eggs and gentlemen’s relish? I don’t think I want to google that!

That. Is. SPECTACULAR.

On a similar theme, do we have a Christmas FB Marketplace Tat thread yet?

@Cheerbear24

Gentleman’s Relish is an anchovy paste. Can’t help on the “sweet eggs” though...

Sadly it’s far too understated to fit in with my decorations.

Ah, there goes my Ebay viewing history.
Like a pp I have the fear now that I'm going to accidentally hit that "buy it now" button without really thinking.

Wonder how many people he has watching the item as a result of this thread? Haha

I love that it says on eBay 7 new watchers in the last 24 hours 😂 make that 8!

By the time this thread's finished there'll probably be a load more

Just imagine how excited the poor sod's going to be ...

Ha I remember this, didn’t realise it had been running for five years!

Love how he stipulates, “But Please dont buy this to break the item as bases are well & truly embedded in the plaster of Paris”

Now for £699 is it not yours to take a sledgehammer to it if you so wished? 🤔…..sounds like he might hunt you down in the dead of the night, if you even dared to try taking it apart. 😂

Please, please can someone buy it for me? It's beautiful and I'd post yearly updates on MN, so you all know how it's getting along. Or, we could arrange a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Awesomeness I'll place it lovingly within?

@HerRoyalHappiness

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

Because he loves it. Every year his wife says, 'Please can we get rid of that?' and he says, 'Of course darling. I'll put it on Ebay.' Then set the price at £699 and happily keeps it another year.

It does say you can pay in 24 month installments for £34 per month with PayPal finance. So it's within everyone's reach really 🤣🤣🤣

@LaurieFairycake.
Normally I am convinced that I am going to win the lottery, but please win so we can all come to the party . My only gripes with the wonderful festive treat that you are about to own are the partridge is not a partridge and the bloody Christmas tree is not a pear tree. I however have a real pear tree.

I applaud his ambition

ah, the epitome of Christmas tat! I love/loathe this!
I wonder if anyone anywhere will ever buy it!! :D

Oh come on. This is a MN crowdfunder, surely?

£1 a ticket, only allowed 1 share so total investment £1.

700 deluded/gin-soaked/festive fuckers and a lottery style ‘who gets it next year’ draw…

Pretty please…

He must be up to his eyes on eBay fees

I need it. I need it so badly.

DH is so glad I don't have enough money in my savings (dogs are expensive).

Aw I feel sorry for him! He clearly worked hard on it!
