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.

Used baby beaker. £3?

chippy will you tell her to take the clothes out of the bag and re-photograph?

Im sure one woman on ours has a hobby of waisting time. She cut my hair once turned up 2 hours late. Asked if she could come later the 2nd time I said no I have plans later, 3 rd time she sent a facebook message just before she was due to say sorry can't come now I have just been sick. Safe to say I went somewhere else. I had some baby clothes for sale posted picture she asked for more pictures, said she would send her partner round, he didn't turn up so I relisted, kept saying she wanted them but wouldn't give a time. But what amazes me is every time anyone asks for a mobile hairdresser they always say her. Maybe it's me

For the discerning dunker...remove lid and straw....ta dah! Glittery Penis Beaker:) You could even pop the lid on after to prevent any glittery love leavings getting accidentally spilled on your bedside table. Awesome.

They annoy the hell out of me,and the same pics appear week after week of some random bloody item they just can't get rid of,like a horrible old vase from Ikea or some creased bedding with Disney princess on.Just do us all a favour and throw it in the bin.Then there's those people who ask after an item,never having met the seller before in their lifetime,"how much hun?"xx note the kisses.How do you love this person you have never met?Is it because you always wanted that crap Ikea vase?

urghh...glittery shite. I bet it must feel horrible on your mouth when drinking out of glasses.

just realised that 'HM' means 'how much' ; I thought that people were just saying a shortened version of hmmm

This is hilarious! I joined loads of selling sites last year trying to advertise our apartment rental business on each one and after receiving stupid emails like - What's the weather in September like, how can I get there. All misspelt grammatically incorrect I realised that it was the wrong clientele I was attracting as certain people on these sites want a holiday in Spain for 25p. I've spent the last week leaving those groups. I'll stick to eBay to buy 2nd hand items and ownersdirect to advertise for us (s10575/ fb apartment 948) lol

These are hilarious and I see so many of them frequently. In our area we actually take it up a notch and have a "Freebay" on facebook for our area, where people donate things for free and can ask for free things.
Some of the recent ones that stuck in my mind are "Wanted: free xbox one, must be able to deliver because I don't drive" and "wanted: free pro vertical multigym. Must have manual so I can set it up". I looked up the specific multigym she wanted and its selling in argos for £400! The people asking for things never say please either, most of the time they just stick "tia" on the end, they're asking for free stuff and can't even be bothered to type "thanks in advance".
Really grinds my gears

Excellent bunfight going on here about the role of the admin

Scroll to Collette J's post 3 November 15:38

My favourite is the early admin comment "I do have kids that I need to pick up from school I can not be like a lot of people and just sit on hear all day". I'm amazed she doesn't get pounced on for that!

I feel sorry for the admin.

Personally I can't believe how many people think it's ok to criticise the admins on their groups.

They are inevitably the ones making the most money from them but see fit to slag off the unpaid volunteers running them.

Haha admin like to be in charge when it suits them.

What does he expect the admin to do?!

Have to admit I'm also laughing at the "veils" being sold above that post and the model's poses

I can't see the comment as I'm on my phone, could someone paraphrase for me please? :)

Uh oh, the man complaining about admin is flouncing now. Apparantly if someone on fb sells you stolen goods, it's admins fault. It shouldn't be up to the buyer to use their own judgement of course

"Its a shane to have to leave this page but admin a useless"

This thread is great, please someone carry it on when it reaches 1000. Looking at the Thanet thread I like this post best

"I PHONE 6. 16 GB. 02 / GIFFGAFF
BLACK ADDITION.
16 GB. APPLE WARRANTY COMPANY SPARE PHONE.
New in the box.
Ramsgate ct11.
£420. No offers. No swaps. No PX. CASH ONLY."

Firstly I pitty any company that has someone working there that thinks it's addition not edition, secondly "company spare phone" so not actually his then!

Why would anyone buy a high end phone off one of these sites?

Most of the pages in my area are rather dull. Lots of ads with no responses apart from constant bumping.

Did see this one though "I'm looking for a VERY tame cockatoo for sale? Pref with cage inc please? It must like females as it's for myself xxx"

What are the chances that someone just has a cockatoo lying around?

We put lots of things on Freegle, but I do find some of the posts a bit one lady was redoing her kitchen and wanted a whole set of cupboard doors for her fitted kitchen, she gave the exact dimensions and colours. It seemed liked rather a longshot

Also one poster keeps asking for things for a baby girl. Her previous babies were boys so she doesn't have anything suitable

Why can a girl not have a green one? My daughters is red and blue with polka dots of green orange yellow and blue

Don't know about you lot but I well into my overdraft after seeing all these bargains. Phew!

We're moving this to Classics

Huzzah, this calls for some glittery bubbly surely?

Hurrah

Now don't all bite my hand off but here is a lovely hamper. I can't quite make out what's in it but there is definitely soap, anti-perspirant & a flannel. Is this not a little insulting?! If I had one of these I would be sniffing myself all Christmas Day in case its a subtle hint.

Also why is their wall half painted in a blood clot red?

The same seller also does Frozen hampers....

All this shit for £26

£30 the lot.
