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!)

Blimey that's quite the centrepiece!

XiCi · 04/12/2023 22:31

The menu 🤣🤣🤣. OMFG I'm dying here

Stopbloodysnoring · 04/12/2023 22:43

Judging by the rest of the items he has for sale, I’d say he is most definitely single 😂

foxlover47 · 05/12/2023 02:18

I've been waiting for this 🙌🙌🙌

Good lord, the description.

The bit that gets me is the spelling and grammar in the description! If your trying to sell it a a quality item at least get that right!

I’m sure it is a typo on your part, but you are (rightly) criticising the spelling and grammar of the seller while writing your rather than you’re!

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

It's the same one. I've had it on my watchlist for at least 4 years now. Poor bugger, he's got loads of watchers but not one sniff of a sale!

ChoupetteTheCat · 05/12/2023 14:17

I love the way that you can pay £33.02 over 24 months.

Appledrop · 05/12/2023 14:34

Hasn't he upped the price by £100? Could have sworn that last few years it's been at £599.99.

I have also asked him a few questions, particularly the weight of it? Also to confirm that postage is indeed free as the write up/particulars mentions "PLEASE, REMEMBER THE P&P IS HUGE AS WELL".

We can also "Breathe easy. Returns accepted."

Firstshoes · 05/12/2023 14:40

Haha I can get it for £33 per month for 24 months with Paypal credit...tempted now I can spread the costGrin

OldTinHat · 05/12/2023 14:40

It's definitely the same one. I wonder where he keeps it for the rest of the year? And how does he dust it??

So many questions...

*heads off to look at his other items for sale as mentioned by a PP.

Just been back for another look at this beast.

Ebay is trying to show me "Similar Items" underneath. Sorry, Ebay, but THERE ARE NO SIMILAR ITEMS. Not in the entire world.

Oops! Mea culpa!

Poppyseed14 · 05/12/2023 15:46

I've watched it out of curiosity and he's offered me a £50 reduction in the price 🤣🤣🤣

This is one of those threads where we could do with a laughter button.

He only offered me £35 reduction. ...I was going to accept but won't now Xmas Grin

ChoupetteTheCat · 05/12/2023 16:35

The poor bloke probably can't believe his luck getting offers. 😂

How about I buy it and then I'll sell it to you with a £42.50 reduction? Win win! 🤣🤣🤣

Oh I do apologise! I've just gone and checked and it was indeed a £35 reduction I was offered as well! That will teach me to read things properly 😣 I revoke my kind offer to you of the £42.50 offer as that would sadly leave me out of pocket. And to be honest I'm not sure I could part with this beauty once I have it in my possession 😏

imaceleb2023 · 04/12/2023 20:48

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

Eeek , I'm getting off this thread just in case I end up being the "lucky" one who wins The Mumsnet Raffle

tachycardigan · 05/12/2023 21:56

I’ve got an offer too!

12 days of Christmas - he's back!

It’s a toss up between this and the Homebase 6ft inflatable dinosaur, really. 😆

I'm quite put out that I've not received a discount 😕 😅

I bet, every year, he gets so excited because he gets a load of views thanks to us lot. Poor bloke!

I'll take the inflatable dinosaur, please!
