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.

Not my local group anymore, but stayed on it just for the comedy value! I mean what the hell did they expect to find under the membrane?

Stupid Facebook selling.

BertieBotts · 01/11/2014 17:33

Oh god those meerkats are right up my MIL's street too. What is it with MILs and tat?

Our best local selling page has gone from being public to closed overnight.

I am never now going to find out if the Watch Seller and her friend defeated Voldemort Sad

neversleepagain · 01/11/2014 17:54

On my local selling site there is a woman selling salt and vinegar crisps from multipacks. Apparently her kidz dont like em!

Oh, and they are out of date.

Someone bought them.

Smilesandpiles · 01/11/2014 18:14

It's a type of speaker Sisters. I think.

Galena · 01/11/2014 18:21

Alice, I wonder if one of them was a mnetter...

I was just merrily scrolling down my local selling page looking for anything to add to this thread. I found a frozen hamper for £28, I was going to screen shot and post the photo but don't know how to remove the sellers name. I carried on scrolling and came face to face with a got spot vibrator!

My neighbour advertised her broken 40" tv on freecycle - advertised as a broken tv. She left it dumped between our houses for the winner to collect. He didnt collect it for 2 weeks where is sat between our houses in the rain. Then it just vanished.

I really wouldnt have minded except it was MY fucking TV. Her partner had left her about 4 months before and took the tv, left her with a tiny portable and she couldnt afford new one. So I lent - LENT - her the one out of my bedroom. She didnt even tell us it was broke, just mentioned to DP about it being broke when he saw her dumping it. No thank you or explanation. Bitch.

MarthasHarbour · 01/11/2014 20:05

I had a mooch on one of our locals with the vain hope of contributing to the thread.

Some one was advertising the 'best fat stripper in the area'

I immediately was Shock at the idea of a stripper selling her wares on a public FB page when i realised it was a slimming aid Blush Grin

BillThePony · 01/11/2014 20:25

Why the hell would the word shish come up I a world cloud...twice .

My local selling pages are pure gold. Will add more later, full of fireworks at the moment as well.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 01/11/2014 20:26

Someone on our site is selling an albino hedgehog. I didn't even know that was legal but apparently it is. Confused

Vodka why didn't you just take the tv back? Wasn't it fixable?

BillThePony · 01/11/2014 20:33

This guy is providing bespoke Chester draws. Any character.

Yuk

Stupid Facebook selling.
MarthasHarbour · 01/11/2014 20:48

If i were (B) i would be sooo tempted to seek a response in plain english! Grin

mypoosmellsofroses · 01/11/2014 20:51

A word of warning - having got hooked on watching FB selling sites, do not be tempted to search "Glitter Glasses" on FB - there's a good chunk of my life I won't get back, nor can I ever unsee some things.... If only you could get glittery chips....

Stupid Facebook selling.
MarthasHarbour · 01/11/2014 20:57

Yep mine has this too!

Stupid Facebook selling.
Bambalam · 01/11/2014 20:59

Beautiful thread. I keep guffawing then having to repeat the funny to my DH. I just had to look on my local FB selling site and it's a revelation to me. In future that's where I'm headed if I need LOLZ

"Cot bed for sale. Good condition. Some chew marks"

Pictures with more "likes" than comments. That means people have misunderstood the premise of the site.

Double buggy. "To go today, need the space". Feel like commenting "fold it up then love"

And what is it with cat beds? Get the message people, cats do not like any beds except yours.

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 01/11/2014 21:03

Roses Oh my freaking eyes.

It's like someone's thought "I MUST outdo the other Glitter Huns and find OTHER cheap glass to coat in PVA and flog for a healthy profit!"

And then they've stumbled upon those salt and pepper receptacles....at the pound shop.

££££££££££££ signs in their eyes and glitter in their bra they rush home..."mkn gud money on thise bebbies!"

Toastiefeet · 01/11/2014 21:15

I figured out how to remove the seller details. Who wouldn't want this lovely Frozen gift set for a mere £20.

Stupid Facebook selling.
Toastiefeet · 01/11/2014 21:18
