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.

I have a theory about the ad in the OP...

Maybe stuff is supposed to be 'stuff' - maybe it is code for drugs and its a way of letting her customers know that new supplies are in...

All this shit for the grand price of £5.
They're bloody queuing up for it too!!

I blame pintrest - crafty/artistic person uploads something fab. Random person says "I could do that, piece of piss" makes a dodgy copy and thinks they can flog it.

I don't understand the kisses at the end of all the messages.

I don't send kisses to randoms, but everyone else on these pages seem to. Maybe I'd have more friends if I did!

"wot price hun x"

"12 x"

Here's a nice one :)

Just seen now that someone on my local pages is selling homemade wax crayons; made from other wax crayons melted down, blended together to make a random sludge colour, and then set in different shapes.

Weird!

That's quite clever grey lady

Would those cookies still be edible on Xmas eve?

Argh! I keep having to exit the app and go in through my browser to see the photos!

24 people want those cookies. They might as well wipe their arses with a fiver.

After reading this thread I have come to the conclusion that my DM was right when she told me that "some people have more money than sense."

There is currently quite the bunfight going on on our local page over some carved pumpkins.....
2 pumpkins...one peppa one olaf.
Seller: selling again buyer let me down. neva turned up. sensible offers plz
Poster 1: 3 pound
seller: I said SENSIBLE offer
poster 2: hm you lkn for?
seller: been sellin for 12.50 so would like 12.50
poster 3: what a rip off. you can buy a pumkin from asda for 2 quid and a stencil.
seller: yh but the stencil time and care, they took me 15 MINS! thats not cheap....

Huge bunfight begins....I'll see if I can screenshot and blur the names.

Someone has just posted a beautiful "purging rug" for £20

..then a little further down in the comments, someone has corrected it to "pursian" [smiles]

I posted 2 Armani boys coats on my local page. I paid £130 new for one of them and was only asking for £35. Bargain considering it is immaculate.

Got one woman who offered me £15 and I politely declined, explaining how much it originally cost. She came back with a right tirade of abuse, called me a dirty skank and said that she was going to report me to Admin.

I have given up posting anything on FB sales sites.

first post on our selling page :

Liberace called, he wants his coat back!

The most memorable post I remember from our freecycle group was 'need washing machine , dishwasher , tumble dryer for free . No crap . To be delivered . "

I always wondered how many replies they got !!

I'd never heard of "Facebook selling pages" before I opened this thread.

What is it about them that attracts the deluded, gullible, and borderline illiterate? Is this - horrifying thought - actually what most people are like??

It's even funnier than the one about "thickos on Trip Advisor".

"Hun".

"Gawjus."

"For a boy."

"sis u shud gt this wud last bub ages" is not even English.

Give me strength.

Someone told me an ex-pupil was 'doing really well selling art on FB'. I looked. Fuck me, I'm glad I didn't teach her art - manky Frozen canvases, 'hand drawn' to look fuck all like the characters: a bargain at £20 personalised!

A lady on mine is selling "necklessis"

Or you can get these money boxes

Another two people have messaged me with lots of questions about my drawers. Then after answering questions I get the final one; "can you deliver to x"

No you fuckwit. That's why I put "can't deliver" in the two sentence advert.

After that they don't want to know. Obviously I don't actually call them fuck wit.
