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.

Willy warmer for meeting the parents?

MagratsHair · 04/11/2014 14:42

ITS A WILLIE WARMER Grin

Blimey. I'm quite live and let live about glittery shit, some people like it and it's not for me to tell them they are wrong, but blinged up baby stuff really gets on my nerves.

The thought of some poor kid choking on nasty plastic stuff is horrible. And half the time their parents wouldn't dream of putting them at risk if they knew how dangerous it was.

Gatekeeper · 04/11/2014 14:45

fancy willy warmer? or summat to fasten your horses tail in for equine beauty pageants?

spiderlight · 04/11/2014 14:46

What the fuck is that red thing - a dummy?! It looks like a nasty case of glittery ringworm.

Gatekeeper · 04/11/2014 14:46

urgh..those nails are horrible (her holding the blingy dummy)

Gatekeeper · 04/11/2014 14:47

I am torn between laughing my head off at some of these to almost cringing with embarrassment

ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks · 04/11/2014 14:48

Aren't we mean. Grin Blush I feel guilty but am too amused to stop!

NickAngel · 04/11/2014 14:49

I've just had to find my local selling group and join it because of this thread.
Brilliant entertainment.

FyreFly · 04/11/2014 14:56

These places are a really damning indictement of our educational system :(

Theonlyoneiknow · 04/11/2014 15:04

It really winds me up! People not turning up after agreeing to buy stuff and then using 'hun' and giving kisses etc on posts. DON'T DO IT! SPEAK PROPERLY!

TheCSLibraryPree · 04/11/2014 15:24

Sadly my local selling groups (and there are quite a few round this way) are pretty sane and haven't, so far, been inundated with glittery shite or Frozen tat. We do, however, have a lot of genuine fake natural hair xtensions and 'up cycled' furniture!!

Madcatgirl · 04/11/2014 15:38

Someone on my local group is selling some mega blocks in exultant condition! Grin

MyGhostIsFlummoxed · 04/11/2014 16:12

Just come across this gem which fills me with irrational rage:
'lovely large out door play centure.back up for sale due to no show.needs to go asap £150 buyer helps dismantal and collets.all in gdion nwood rot what so ever but needs a bit of paint to make it look freash wileven think of doing a swap with a bit of cash if this helps as looking for a xbox 360 xx'

RedMozzy · 04/11/2014 16:24

fairgame bingo! you would just move the hoover out of the way wouldn't you? and Alice I hadn't even noticed the mirror within a mirror / possible flasher effect. The gifts just keep on coming.

love the exultant megablocks, perhaps they should join the bottle of manky conditioner someone is selling on our page which 'works to prevent ecstatic electrisity'

Wealldancelamacarena · 04/11/2014 16:31

I just found this one on my local !!! It made my day !

Stupid Facebook selling.
DillydollyRIP · 04/11/2014 16:37

Is that a dogs bum in the corner?

Wealldancelamacarena · 04/11/2014 16:38

Dilly - yes it is !!!!!!!!'

DillydollyRIP · 04/11/2014 16:43

HAhaha!!
That's funny. What is the apple safe thingy anyway?

Wealldancelamacarena · 04/11/2014 16:48

I think it's a bespoke "Isafe" with a dog's bum hole as bonus ! Grin

Galena · 04/11/2014 16:52

But what is it?

Wealldancelamacarena · 04/11/2014 16:58

It's a safe, the guy just put an apple sticker but it's definitely not apple. apple doesn't make safe !

BonjourMinou · 04/11/2014 17:08

LOL at willie warmer, it's a baby's hairband, innit! But I had to scroll back up the page to check out the mirror within a mirror effect. Still nothing too exciting on my local page, worst offender is a belly button piercing with the word bitch on it and a pair of earphones with some gemstones glued on.

People just aren't trying hard enough on my page...
