Stupid Facebook selling.

Real post I've seen this week.

"Got some cheap stuff for sale if you want anything"

Cue 20 posts along the lines of;

"Have you got a patio heater hun?"

"No sorry"

Have you got a wheelbarrow?

No, haven't got a wheelbarrow.
Xx

3 days later the thread is still going strong. 20 people have been disappointed that the seller doesn't have what they want and the seller has made no effort to make any suggestion what she does have.

IgnoreMeEveryOtherFuckerDoes · 30/10/2014 16:20

Wow your fb selling groups are cheap frozen hampers on mine are £25 for about 6items. I want to know who fuck buys them.

I die a little inside each time I see pair of manky dead converse 'worn but plenty of wear' £15

SistersOfHearsey · 30/10/2014 16:20

Damn you all I've had to go and search out mine now. I despair for the English language I really do.

"Is any body selling a settee n chairs or a 3 +2 seater plz"
"U still looking for 1"

Other than that mine just seems to be post after post of fake tat.

CharleytheFrenchPoodle · 30/10/2014 16:37

Just had another look at mine...there's an argument brewing about personalised Christmas baubles which look like cheap tat
Seller: Only a £1
Numerous messages about delivering/buying etc then-
X: Sellername why u copying my idea for?
X: Message me people I only charge 50p

It's an indication of how slow my day is that I'm now waiting for the bunfight to start Hmm

Galena · 30/10/2014 16:40

Have just seen on mine... 'Artificial Christmas reef' Lovely fish and coral for Christmas, I hear you ask? No, a ring of artifical foliage, of course. Grin

DinoSnores · 30/10/2014 16:42

Really disappointed at the lack of tat, the use of complete sentences and proper grammar on my local selling site!

Best I've got is:

"Wanted all broken and working laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Pm me with wot u got."

"iphone wanted come on people who got iphone forsale"

"wanted iphone or android phone cash waiting must be able to delever to [area of city]"

YourKidsYourRulesHunXxx · 30/10/2014 16:44

zucker Soz hun it's first come first serve, but I can make you a Michael Coors one- I can also make it as a dummy clip if you'd prefer?

Whatdoesaduckdo · 30/10/2014 16:52

LlamaWoman · 30/10/2014 16:59

Someone was selling a used vibrator on our local page a few weeks back.

They added " Good working order but needs new batteries"

Whatdoesaduckdo · 30/10/2014 17:04

Stupid Facebook selling.
KinkyandGhoulishDorito · 30/10/2014 17:07

Some small child is going to be so excited with that on Christmas morning What. Lovely.

306235388 · 30/10/2014 17:10

The frozen baskets are the worst on mine and £20 each I've considered doing it myself it's such money for nothing!

Small basket from £shop
Frozen lipgloss, sponge, hand wash and nail varnish from £shop
Wrapped up in cellophane.

So £15 profit on each one - loads of people are buying them. WTF?

Galena · 30/10/2014 17:11

I feel I should buy my Frozen-hating, coke-hating DD one in case she feels she has missed out.

Whatdoesaduckdo · 30/10/2014 17:13

It just got better ladies £25 will get you a bottle of WKD and some unknown perfume glass and toys
Also available in Henry Huggle Monster buck fast

Stupid Facebook selling.

Rollermum · 30/10/2014 17:53

Galena Christmas reef! Grin

I have to say you are making my local site look good. Never seen and home crafted glittery / Frozen tat.

Patrickstarisabadbellend · 30/10/2014 17:53

What?

Stupid Facebook selling.
ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 30/10/2014 17:54

Pink I know! And outstandingly badly drawn too! Grin That particular person sells a range of painted, glittery jute bags. For ALL occasions and beverages.

grumblepuss · 30/10/2014 17:56

People buy the glittery shit?
Why would anyone want a coke bottle dipped in glitter?

notjustamummythankyou · 30/10/2014 18:08

This is all so true! I thought it was just a quirk of our local fb selling page but this this is obviously the way it's done.

My favourite post was by someone selling a deflated helium balloon. "Flat, but lot's of life left in it". Apparently.

I kid you not ...

Alwaysforever2009 · 30/10/2014 18:17
