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.

The car seat is free but even so, surely nobody would take that, it can't possibly be safe. These people are just too lazy to take a trip to the tip so try and offload their shit on to anybody who'll take it.

Just posted on the our local site, a baby hat 0-3 months with 'need gone asap'. Why? Its not like its going to be taking up much space!

PHANTOMnamechanger · 30/10/2014 22:27

the sofa people (and those like them), I assume, can't be bothered to take their sofa to the tip/don't have transport/don't want to pay the council £25 to take it way.
But why they honestly think people will be wanting to buy it, when they have not even tried to make it look even HALF decent, is beyond me. I can only assume that very low levels of intelligence and a real desperation for money are factors here.

I've just google ptah, he's the god of craftsmanship and architects in Egyptian mythology, so that's that mystery solved I think....

SistersOfHearsey · 30/10/2014 22:32

At least your mosses have baskets. Mine earlier proclaimed they had 'Moses for sale £20'. Useful if you need any seas parting etc

PHANTOMnamechanger · 30/10/2014 22:36

That's obviously a fake. I'd expect to pay at least £30 for the real Moses. Properly stuffed by a professional taxidermist and free P&P of course.

PHANTOMnamechanger · 30/10/2014 22:38

It's probably only Noah.

You would be surprised. My husband and brother were actually stopped at the dump once while they were dropping off our old sofa when we were moving. It had pen marks on it and was all sunk down under the cusions and was given £20 for it if they could drive it round their house.

I feel quite sorry for this one as clearly someone is trying to be creative and working to make some money rather than just trying to be at the con.......however......

Stupid Facebook selling.
MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 30/10/2014 23:02

I have a brilliant one. Not a for sale, a name and shame.

Local selling page put up cctv video of someone rifling through bags of stuff left outside a charity shop. Chucking bags in her car and driving off. Loads of shocked responses and DM type muttering.

Later on they put up a message apparently from the inept thief claiming she was taking stuff for the shop and sorting it out and hadn't given her permission for the video etc and to remove it immediately. Oh and that the local recycling company would take the rest.

Immediate response was tough shit and you're a lying thief. And no the local recycling company does not take bags of stuff left outside charity shops. And how stupid she was to name and shame herself.

It went on for aaaaaaages.

It was brilliant. The indignation was like a heatwave.

BatTeethKeith · 30/10/2014 23:13

It is the bed. Apparently it is in like new condition, as it is hardly slept in and is a bargain at £80!Grin

There's a fantastic but confusing conversation going on on one of our pages, on an ad for a gold watch.

Watch Seller and friend of seller are having a chat in the comments.

Friend of Seller sent Watch Seller a message but thinks she probably hasn't got it, hence the chat in the comments of the sellers watch advert.

FOS has a headache, wonders if Watch Seller bought anything in town, is worried Seller might be feeling the cold, has reminisced about the times her husband used to make her a hot toddy, thanked Seller for a necklace and said she won't keep Seller any longer as the soaps might be on.

WS has replied to say she bought a dressing gown come nightie so she doesn't have to put the heating on and is waiting for a prison thing to come on. WS is at the dentist early tomorrow and is 'dregging' it because she 'dissent half heart" her last week. Someone called Dale is coming to sort out a friend request but can't do the garden because of his back. She's about to watch the 'Paul of ready dogs home' and has reminded FOS to take her tablets and test as soon as Cath gets her new laptop.

FOS is going to bring her cutters next time.

WS wants to know if FOS has spoken to her daughter yet? She also needs to sot out the dog collars and get some wire cuters and then she will phone FOS but will see her later anyway.

WS then says "by the way, he's back, you know who xx"

I think she must mean Voldemort, but she hasn't been very clear. Still, you know who, who else can it be? Someone needs to let Hogwarts know asap!

FOS clearly does know who she means thought, because she replies with "I god she will be okay, I don't want her to end up like me love is blind" because she doesn't want her to find out the hard way she can and dervers so much beter. She suggests WS tell her that FOS was in the same boot and now it's fist road her life made her the way she is and she will never be any beter. She suggests they both pray to jeep their loved ones are safe.

It certainly sounds to me like someone is involved with a wrong 'un and you don't get much more wrong than Voldemort. I might have to make a fake enquiry about buying a watch so I can find out more. I really care now, I need to know that all ends well for these people.

AlwaysHoldingOnToStars · 30/10/2014 23:13

My DSD had one of those car seats shown earlier and she's 22! It must be bloody ancient, I haven't actually seen one in use since she grew out of hers.

I'm pretty sure someone on our local selling site is on here. It's normally all sensible with good rules (no animals allowed) but someone posted a picture of a tiny Christmas tree today and wanted £20 for it. Everyone laughed and now the poster doesn't seem to be a member anymore!

FranksBobot · 30/10/2014 23:15

I have just spotted this on my local page. I've covered the name but if you do in fact do the pumpkins I'll happily pass on your details! Seriously though, can anyone actually understand this?

Stupid Facebook selling.
