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.

This one was only posted a hour ago so if anyone wants to buy this from one of my local groups

All pubic hair has been removed

Do they want someone to carve them a pumpkin? I doubt they'll have any luck at short notice, but I imagine someone will be be happy to dip one in glitter for them and stick a flower on it .

They might just want to buy a plain old pumpkin, I guess- apparently the harvest was bad and there's a shortage.

Dusent we all just dus our own pumpkins?

That soap . Just when I thought I'd seen it all...

Also, why can't people use the pound sign?

There's no end of comments about items with a random number that's apparently the price but there's no £ in front of it and people are confused.

"23 Elvis tat take a look."
"How much?"
"23"
"Is that ow much u got?"
"Price"
"Yeah, ow much?"
"23!!!!!!!!!!"

Pound signs people, they are your friend.

Ooo glittery pumpkins, you could be on to a winner there BOF

£8!!!!!

But that is a vintage chabby cheek Mosses Basket, surely, Knackered?

Lemon you've got someone's name in that pic. Best report your post.

Ah balls, you're right.

Just looked on our local chabby chick page....

Thanks for the heads up, Claw. Here is the beauty again, but edited.

My eyes! They burn!

And a lovely personalised bauble. Only 12 quid. Just stuff a name written in biro inside a cheap bauble, add some nasty looking trim and your off! Quids in!

Lozza is that porcilin reel?

Clawhands, that is exactly the kind of crap lovely objet d'art that my kids would bring home at the end of every Christmas term. For nothing.

Viva did you ever find out what your original seller actually had for sale?

This thread was quite funny when it was just grammar/spelling kind of posts.

Now it is quite nasty.

Katharine so it's funny to laugh at people's spelling and grammar but not at their tat?

Really? I actually think the grammar/spelling aspect of it is the meanest bit (although it does seem to go with the territory). But if we are going to share stories of Facebook selling pages, it is going to involve a fair bit of mockery of amateur craft projects being offered for silly money. What parts of the the thread do you think are crossing a line, Katharine?

Me too Boff I think if you're going to have the balls to stick some old crap up and advertise it for sale then you've got to be able to take the rough with the smooth. It's not like anyone's naming people. It IS a bit bitchy I suppose but meh. There's far worse goes on than a bit of sniggering at a bauble and a glittery cup.

Ffff

Someone asked today "where's the best place to go trickle treating". Thought it was a typo, but she said it several times in further posts.

bewoo no I never found out what the seller had for sale, don't think anyone did.
