12 days of Christmas - he's back!

[OldTinHat]

I remembered a thread from a couple of years ago, have just had a quick look on eBay, and YES! He is back again! Feast your eyes on this year's delight! (And no, I'm not affiliated in any way whatsoever, good god, no!)

Ever hopeful with the pricing. 😂
I was thinking about this just the other day.

It literally never went away, this has been on my watch list forever 😂

I was really mean a couple of years ago and asked if I could view it in person before deciding to purchase. I wanted to know if it was as crap 'eccentric' irl! He refused because he said he'd had so many enquiries from too many people, and it wouldn't be fair on them!

Maybe the Playmobile poster on here could make one and try selling it for, say, £599?!

Why is the description written in capitals.... I'm suprised no one has hoovered that bit of tat up.. It's what xmas is for after all.

I was thinking about this the other day too.

Oh my God, my mum would LOVE this object!

Luckily it's outside her price range by at least 2 decimal places.

Oh god i'd forgot about that monstrosity😂. We were crying laughing at it last year😂.

I love mumsnet for this thing alone. Makes my Christmas

What was the item a few years ago? He says it cost him more than he's selling it for, to make.

Hate to say it but I've noticed he lives in my home-town. I wonder if he decorates the front of his house in a similar fashion for Christmas!

My favourite part of the description has to be him saying it has cost him more to build that the asking price and then goes on to explain that the base is a quality street tin 😂😂 he points out the tin is empty and there are no sweets but apparently you can use the centerpiece to hide your sweets. Brilliant 😂

When I clicked the link I thought "that would be quite funny, I might buy it" then saw the price!!!!!! Wtf.

I just googled the drummers, the exact set he used was not available but a similar set was £55 and it would be similar for the pipers. That's £110 alone, I've no idea what the rest of the stuff would cost but scale models are definitely expensive.

OMG thank you for starting this thread OP I was thinking about that eyesore decoration just the other day but couldn't find any threads about it,so I thought by some miracle it must have been sold 😅

I tried to make an offer for £1, but got this message:

"The seller is more likely to respond if you offer around £524.99"

It's the menu that gets me everytime, that dinner party must have cost about a grand according to his pricing plus food😂

What in the Jingle Jangle is that?

@Hadjab it's a sparkling centrepice of quality(st), snowy plaster, a tree complete with led lights and many little figures demonstrating the wonderful 12days of Christmas! It's a perfect gift for that special someone and a steal at £699😂.

The menu is the best bit 😂
I shall only ever belt out FIVE ONION RINGS whenever singing The 12 Days Of Christmas from now on

Looks like the crap they advertise in TV listings magazine. Poor quality and poor taste. However, as the saying goes, nobody ever went broke underestimating public taste

I shall offer him £1.50 then, see if he bites my hand off?!

Yes, the menu. Adds value. Shame you don't get a personal chef included to cook it.

You've got to admire his optimistic outlook and his positivity, though. Bless him!

Nope. Offer rejected. He's still hoping for £524.99. My car isn't worth that much!

oh bless him, i reckon we should all chip in a fiver and gift it to a random mumsnetter.

Is it the same item that he had for sale in previous years? Or a new model?

I'm going to guess it's the same one, it just didn't sell in previous years.
