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.

keith I knew you were Medway! I saw the shoe request too! I must be so innocent as I didn't even think of shoe fetish! haha I've got a box full he could have too.....

Yes, cos I have always wanted a small sample of someone elses wee..... that's worth 50 every day of the week!

I think that black thing is a speaker. I had to physically turn my laptop upsidedown and move around a bit, I could JUST make it out.

Myother, I've seen people selling bottled tap water with a badly made label advertised as Melted Olaf.

£8 to watch your loved one melt in the candlelight...

If seeing their half melted face doesn't give you nightmares, nothing will..

Have just advertised a Next bedside table for the bargain price of £10. Stated clearly that I can't deliver. Guess what the first question is?

Haha I've been oblivious to these fb selling sites until now and this thread.

Just had a look at a local one here and the first post is:

"Fridge freezer need gone by 2.30 today no time wasters 25 20 or 15 pounds"

(accompanied by a photo so I can confirm there is only 1 for sale not 3 of different sizes and prices!!).

I can see the rest of my day disappearing before my eyes!

You could report the animal 'freebies' to the rspca or a rescue centre?

There is a woman on my local 'baby and childrens' equipment' selling page who seems to think she's very important.

She posts several times a day asking if anyone has various things for sale, and gets quite uppity when no one has the requested item to sell to her.

"I am looking for maternity evening wear. Must be Isabella Oliver or other quality brand. Size 10. I am willing to pay £5 per item"

That kind of thing....

She is always looking for things like playmobil too, and it must be "cheap but in excellent condition"

Oh and we get lots of the painted glasswear and glittery shit on our local groups too. I can't understand why thickos people are falling over themselves to buy it!

I thought it was just me read the local bargain basement group for a laugh! There is one guy who must spend all day checking new entries and then jumps in offering a tenner for every iPhone or tablet whether the seller has put offers or a fixed price. Then he always puts shouty comments when they sell to someone else for a decent price....

I've just had a look on my local selling page. There's used make up, a pair of sequinned used hotpants plus some mystery items I shall copy & paste below for your pleasure:

Plus I've attached a pic with no explanation from the seller, just the pic then 2 bumps from seller on the comments. Something to do with snooker or pool? Fishing maybe? If someone could enlighten me I'd be grateful :)

Someone on my local page has just posted that they urgently need a barbie's head....

I had to leave the pet selling page, it was full of £10 kittens ready to go at 8 weeks old & all the dogs were Staffy's who were a bit boisterous & the sellers all said they didn't have the time to train them/give them the attention they deserved. The dogs were puppies, I think the oldest was 10 months!

That's a fishing rod Hairy

Ah thanks Smile, I had considered fishing but I ruled it out as there's no dangly bit on the ends

inspired by this thread I looked and saw...

moose sanitizer

mwahahaah

Last night on my Local Facebook selling page:

wantd urgently, travel cot. Havnt got much money but cud maybe stretch 2 £10. In desperate need!!

hi I've got one you can have for nothing, hardly been used and will deliver it if you're stuck

wat colour is it??

green

Thanx but need on for a girl

ok

Can't be that desperate then, ungrateful cow!

lol, it's one that fits together.

You attach the reel on the bottom part, thread the line through those loops (eyes) and then you attach the dangly bits (hook and lure).

Dad used to fish as did my ex. I've still got my rod somewhere.

£2 for what is essentially 3 marshmallows They aren't even the giant marshmallows.

I just had a nosy on a local page, the item in question is a little sock monkey toy:

Hey hun u still got this?
Yeh hun but in my mums loft n I dont speak to her no more
Kk

Few weeks later:
still for sale
Couple of weeks later:
For Sale again

I wonder how long they'll be talking this time?

We've got one woman who has listed about 50 items on separate posts and wants a price somewhere in the region of 10% off new! "Cost £12 never worn - want £10" Every day she bumps the bl***g posts with same sky high prices - she just doesn't get the second hand market!
