This made me smile

I'm slightly addicted to Facebook market place, there are some good bargains that appear there - but this one takes the biscuit...

There is a nice pic of some 3' high box hedging that looks to be well looked after and the ad says
 
"Approx 55 feet in total of box hedges (real) well maintained and looked after. Buyer to take up Wimborne collection Looking around the £150 but open to offers"
 
So lets get this right, she is looking for someone to dig up the hedge - all 55' of it, (that would be a fair few car loads), with the idea of re-planting it... AND pay her £150 for the privilage!!!

    I saw some Monkey Puzzle and other trees for sale on EBay, buyer collects of course.

      I had another look on EBay and currently there’s a thirty foot high Monkey Puzzle in someone’s back garden £250 buyer removes and collects.

    One of the best I saw on a local Facebook selling page was someone advertising with a photo all the leaves that were in the parking bays of their business premises as “Leaves for leaf mould, free for collection”

    There were people responding with a view to going and sweeping their car park up for them and taking all the leaves away.

      The guy is at it again, he has posted on Facebook enquiring if there’s a gardener or landscaper who will look after the grounds of his business premises on a regular basis free of charge, because the business is located on a main road so if the gardener or landscaper make a good job of maintaining it they will be able to use it for advertising and promoting their services.

    I saw local to,us someone had dug up badly bits of bamboo with hardly any root left and two canes for £20.00. I dug a bamboo out of my garden and thought did I miss a trick here....

    I'd say that was a bargain ... "Instant Hedge" type companies charge around £200 a metre ... although in fairness THEY do the lifting fo you :)

  • I had a similar experience years ago, somebody with a job lot of large box plants suitable for topiary. When I went to look I realised that they were growing in the ground rather than in pots and I had never seen such a bunch of mis shapen specimens. The poor fella was so excited about this great opportunity as he had seen a big one in a garden centre priced at hundreds of pounds so thought he was sitting on a gold mine. Also seen a stack of leylandii type conifer on ebay before, for firewood £20 buyer collects. Not even logs just branches and foliage

    Does it come with free box blight! 😂

      That would be the ultimate... wouldn't it :) :)

  • You can get some good deals on Facebook Marketplace and i've sold quite a few bits and pieces on there.  Amazing how many people selling secondhand batteries at the moment ... not even cheap..... about half the new price.  The cold weather has obviously shown the battery is on it's last legs.... they replace it and then try and get half the money back selling a battery that's on its last legs.
