Following on from the unwanted Christmas presents thread

[5GoldenFimbos]

I have found \link{http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-unwrapped-unwanted-christmas-presents-children-gifts-/260712682590?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_Occasions_ET&hash=item3cb3afd45e\this a bit sad, I think}

As if anyone is going to bid on them. Actually I might just watch it and see if anyone does. They could just be wrapped up empty boxes.

How nasty if it's true... the woman is still the children's grandmother even if the parents have split up fgs.

It's not often i hope something is a scam

if it's true - I think she's nuts - "always shops in the tops shops"

hell - I'd keep 'em and give my kids more nice stuff

I was wrong, there are already 8 bids.

She sounds very bitter.

what a nasty bitch

It's got to be dodgy cos even if you had split up you'd at least open the presents to see what they were before deciding whether to give them to your dc's.

I remember other ebay items being linked to last year that were similar to this (girlfriends selling unwanted presents from the boyfriend they split up with just before Christmas).

this is it doesn't make sense - she's a "horrible" ex MIL........but only ever bought nice gifts (so obviously not that bad then - especially if you see her other "unwanted Christmas presents" to her(?) - apparently she always "got a really nice one" (jewellery) from her.

There are a few like that on Ebay from ex partners etc. Was tempted with one bundle but they are already on £58! Could be anything in them.
I do think these ones are sad though.

some people are weird, and think most are scam tbh. Who wouldnt open the presents? I get excited opening my mail!!

sparklystocking HOW many shoes boxes used for wrapping in that one - that was is SERIOUSLY screaming "scam" to me.

God, that's horrible.

look at the comments on the feedback of the one that you posted........

I have to be honest though.........if it wasn't for the fact that 2 of my family members use ebay regularly I would be ebaying one of my gifts right now.

Instead I'm going to have to try and find a loving home for it

what is it baroqin?? Im nosey

what is she intending to do with the money then if she cant accept the gifts surly she wont want the money so i defo think its a scam if she really couldnt accept them she would have put them in the bin or gave them to charity shop

oh it's 4 mug/tea/drinks coasters.

I hate them, all different pictures from Yorkshire/Cleveland, .....

What a scam! I can't believe people are bidding such high amounts when they've no idea what they're buying!!

The one I linked to in the op seems to have been removed.
