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.

That After Eight tree is possibly the most pathetic thing I have ever seen Sad

JustUs I was the one who linked the stone ladies' work. Tell her I love looking at them all and think she's amazing!

DizzyKipper · 04/11/2014 09:31

Crikey, checked one of my other local groups. Some one's trying to flog a used Christmas tree for £90.

Loving his thread, and glad it's not just me! On my FB page recently this starter for 10:

"Hi im looking for baby shoes for my 10 month old son he has outgrown all his size 2 so im looking for size 3 upwards"

She rejected several pairs of clarks and similar, then showed interest in some Nikes before declaring that the £4 price bracket was too much. Someone (who shall remain nameless - ahem) then suggested that perhaps if her son was only 10 months old and just cruising at home she maybe need to buy shoes for him at all. Cue all hell breaking loose.

inconceivableme the open profile comment I understand! I have a separate fb account for selling our old stuff (don't want all these oddballs knowing who I am!) and I have hundreds of friends that have added me. My profile doesn't suggest if I am man/woman/young/old/predator stealing your details and kid's pics yet these people keep adding me and giving me access to their full details. Upside is my newsfeed on this account is hilarious, it's live streaming Jeremy Kyle fodder!

emms1981 · 04/11/2014 11:19

I gave up with facebook just after last christmas but opened another with no friends, doesn't have my name no personal pictures and I get people trying to add me as a friend too. Strange

Re: the open profiles:

Why do randoms who want to buy stuff off me keep sending me Friend requests?

You don't need to be my Friend to send me pms so I don't really see what they gain from this.

MrsCurrent · 04/11/2014 11:39

silverten no idea, none of my alter-ego's friends would be mine in RL, perhaps they just need a wide audience for their glitter shit and drama hun

randycheeseburger · 04/11/2014 12:43

please don't let this person have a dog (found on facebook)

Any pug babies due Christmas or just after . Roughly 500.00 male baby ?

Any Christmas puppies will have only just been conceived so it's a tad early!

I know but I'm just asking if there will be any expected.

Pugs are lush I hopefully have a litter of Labradors due mid December!!

Pugs are there lovely I can't wait to have one. Spoilt it'll be. And aww that'll be cute load of andrex pups

Hmm

MummyPig24 · 04/11/2014 13:41

I've just seen an as saying "anyone got 50g baky?" And in the comments below someone replies "The shop?"

I snorted.

ClaimedByMe · 04/11/2014 13:48

Too much glittery shit??

Stupid Facebook selling.
ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 13:50

I love the addition of a lighter Claimed. What next? Glittery fags? A glittered crack pipe?

BillThePony · 04/11/2014 13:54

£6 pounds for a crap jar with sweets in.

Stupid Facebook selling.
ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 13:55

Just seen these delights. Someone's commented "People must be afraid to put anything down unattended in your house..."

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 13:58

TooSpotty · 04/11/2014 14:13

It looks more like a test tube than a vase to me.

"People must be afraid to put anything down unattended in your house..." Fantastic!

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 14:22

MagratsHair · 04/11/2014 14:31

Some more seed pearl things, but does this one look a bit rude to you....?

Stupid Facebook selling.
ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 14:37

Yes. Frankly it looks like Uncle Oleg with a hard on.

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 14:38

Now you know you all want one.

Stupid Facebook selling.
ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 14:39

What do you all reckon this is? Some sort of fancy bottle sock? Why is it on her crotch?

Stupid Facebook selling.
