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.

Is that one of those life like baby dolls? Hmm

Showed the thread to DH to explain why I was collapsed on the sofa unable to breathe from laughing and he has just offered up https://m.facebook.com/pethauddisglair/photos/a.482107495258106.1073741882.450864121715777/517667138368808/?type=1 this stunning set.

Only £10 for two! Hmm Glitter pens have an awful lot to answer for.

MabliHeulwen · 31/10/2014 23:49

Argh! Link fail. second time lucky?

PinkAndBlueBedtimeScares · 01/11/2014 00:02

What's scary is this thread is almost, and I stress almost, motivation to jump on the glittery crap bandwagon. I've got no glitter crap on my fb selling groups, from the looks of other peoples sites I would make a fortune!!

pipdee · 01/11/2014 00:54

v funny post on my fb selling site -got to love typos!

Stupid Facebook selling.
BreadForBrains · 01/11/2014 02:14

My favourite is the Ugg boots that aren't uggs anymore as the label mysteriously dropped off!
I'm now going to look for my local selling site...

I thought it was just me that gets driven FUCKING mad by this shit. A friend of mine put a brand new 100% memory foam mattress on a FREE page yesterday - she bought it with a new bed but the bed came with one and she's obviously got money to burn.
She said "Free, cost xxx, but need space, must go today, so needs to be someone with transport."
Someone said "Were r u, Hun, can collect tonite." (Which should be a criminal offence in itself, Hun). She said basically, two miles from you, woman said "No, sorry, to far."
So she is clearly waiting for someone to dump a brand new mattress within a 50m radius of her house.
Fair enough if she had no transport but presumably she did to be able to collect it.
I would have had it if I'd known, but she got a taker in the end, unsurprisingly.
I also saw someone selling kids clothes, 50p for a hat, someone said "Give you 25p?" Then arrange to travel a five mile round trip to pick it up.....

There's one group near me selling baby stuff, handy for quick cash or useful items but the title is so poorly written it makes me itch every time I go on there.
And yes I am a grammar snob, and proud of it.....

lbsjob87 · 01/11/2014 07:57

BillThePony That is ace! I would be tempted to message the seller and inform them that Premier Inn called and want their stuff back. Are they selling teeny little bottles of shampoo and shower gel too?

geesmum1 · 01/11/2014 08:37

During summer hols saw post from lady asking for white polo shirts and boys school trousers aged 4-5 cos she couldn't find them anywhere apparently! Preferably free, oh and must be able to deliver cos she doesn't drive. So basically you just want us to provide your kids school uniform Confused

BreadForBrains · 01/11/2014 08:59

I've just been added to my local one and I'm incredibly disappointed. Barely any grammatical errors, no one selling any Frozen shit, shoes are brand new in box and there was no Hunning.
I'm going to leave the group. I feel let down Haloween Sad

Prawnskewer · 01/11/2014 09:18

Broken fish tank, anyone? Only £15!

Stupid Facebook selling.
Margaritte · 01/11/2014 09:43

I think I'm on the same selling group as you clawhands (basing this on the bauble)

fairgame · 01/11/2014 09:51

I've just seen this post.

"No one got any tickets for medowhall xmas light turn on for sale"

Is it a question? Is it a statement? Confused

ThatCandyDontCrushItself · 01/11/2014 09:57

This post is totally verbatim from my local group from one of the 'admin' on to one of the sellers posts.

"i must remind ppl that just puting up the price simply is not good enough ! Admin"

I don't even know where to begin.....!

Angry
ThatCandyDontCrushItself · 01/11/2014 09:58

I dint know where that 'on' came from in the first line!

Galena · 01/11/2014 10:46

Fairgame, I would assume the word no should be ne - you know, that well known word 'neone' normally spelled 'anyone'

ThatCandyDontCrushItself · 01/11/2014 10:56

Anyone want any of these Batgins?

Or these? No one? You sure? Grin

Sundaysmumisfullofwine · 01/11/2014 11:20

I am trying to work out if these classy wine glass holders are genius or not. Bargain at £5, ideal for Christmas parties apparently.

Stupid Facebook selling.
