Stupid Facebook selling.

[VivaLeBeaver]

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.

lozza :(

It's sad isn't it? I suppose it brings back the reality of this. Some of the very young lone parents on my local page are so reliant on one another and so supportive too. Things like "I need some trainers for X for school tomorrow, his have fallen apart....has anyone got some in size 2?"

And someone will be there in seconds "Yes hun I've got some....will drop them off at 8.am" etc. My sister once took a tonne of things to a girl who had no bedding at all due to a sudden move away from an abusive ex.

OR the ones selling about 5 crap chocolate bars in a pint glass with a bit of shit ribbon and wanting a tenner for them??

ClawHands yes, this is life for some people, I ought to stop more often and consider how lucky we are. You are right, it does bring about a good sense of community in lots of cases, and I'm glad that people are able to help each other out.

sundays where do you think baby mosses sleep before they are let out to live on north facing slopes, they need a basket of course

Haha been inspired to have a look on my local site.tonight we have 2 big buckets of protein powder "opened but never used £20 each Ono" with a picture of the open tubs!

I've found a new one, covers the whole county rather than just our town.

One woman has "BACCY FOR SALE, NOT THE CHEAP NASTY STUFF'' but no price.

Someone else is covering vodka bottles with glitter and selling them with matching glitter covered wine glasses.

There's a rather startling photo of a surprised looking woman and the caption "tonight's eyebrows" but no other explanation. I'm fairly sure the eyebrows have been drawn on with some kind of marker pen.

There's a worrying photo of puppies but no price. I wish people weren't allowed to sell animals on these groups.

And there's an advert for "Removal,s single or multple items, competetive rate,s"

And, best of all, if you order £50 worth of sweets and chocolate from one man, he will deliver it to you for free tonight. Including these tempting chocolate delights:

44 SICKERS AND TWIX PACK
£10.00 EACH 2 FOR £19.00 OR 3 FOR £27.00

Yes, you really can order 44 Sickers bars to be delivered tonight. Not that you'd want to.

Could have been worse AliceLidl, could have been 44 nickers bars :)

And on scrolling further down, there seems to be a link to a homemade, outdoor, in the woods sex video.

And an ad from a woman offering to show you how to get in touch with all your past lives.

And a woman who is giving away a free door but who seems to want £50 for what looks like a tea-towel next to a shower curtain.

Or she will swap it for a large plastic dog.

That would be worse.

To be fair, I have bought a fair bit off local selling pages and sold 3 times as much on them. I like the keeping local money local thing. A lot of the time things are around the ebay price anyway. But the majority are there to rip others off and pay as little as possible for things so they obviously can sell them on elsewhere.

AliceLidl - probably people who buy those kind of things are the people who don't have any credit or banking facilities and can only do cash.

Someone on mine is offering " highest quality cloned Pandora bracelets". Umm, does 'cloned' mean 'fake'? I'm pretty sure that she hasn't used the DNA of one bracelet to grow an identical copy.

I'm sure everyone will be scrambling over each other to get this one...

Someone on my local selling page is asking for "a boys Ptah, nothing to fancy" and "needed for a few weaks"

Aside from the atrocious grammar; what's a ptah?

ladymoods i have a beautiful sofa to go with your your lovely car seat
"Just needs a clean"

That's a stunner fairgame. Nearly as nice as the green swade one I saw the other day....

Love this thread. Im still laughing about 'tonight's eyebrows'!

Just put in a request to join my local page and eagerly pressing the refresh button on my internet to see if I have been added
It is called "buy and sell ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" with actually about 5000 more exclamation marks than that so promises some good offerings.

Ptah=potty?

I assume a boy's one is blue.

Ptah might be guitar!

Arf at Martin the footwear guy batteethkeith, it would be Medway of course!

Where else?

I think Ptah is computer possibly?

Said 'Ptah' is not a spelling mistake, post is littered with the word. three - potty is a good idea. I thought it said party at first. Google definition is an Egyptian god! so not that!

Pamshoo you have report back when you find out what a ptah is. I'm really intrigued and will probably spend hours of my life trying to figure out what it is

Please tell me people dont want actual money for that car seat or sofa?

The sofa was open to offers. It appears that nobody has taken them up on the fantastic deal. I can't think why.

I reckon ptah must be computer ie pootah surely guitar would at least be gtah
