    I think this person is being a bit optomistic with the starting price of their 'unwanted present'!

    this looks like the cheap stuff they sell at markets, where you buy 1 get 5 free 'apparently' worth £45 odd per bottle when really they are just cr*p - think it was on real hustle as well

    Not really, could have been purchased as a job lot set from somewhere like bid.tv or it's related channels, they often sell bulk perfumes/aftershaves by a single manufacturer


    But they have stated that these are UNWANTED GIFTS!!!!! that's why they are selling them, yes it's obvious they have been purchased as a job lot so why lie and deceive by saying they are an unwanted gift? who buys someone 6 bottles of unknown perfume for xmas????:rotfl:

  • I bought my mums dog one of those for xmas (£1 from Poundland) their price seems a bit optimistic if you take p&p into consideration too :rotfl:

    Precisely. I take the view that if they're going to lie so blatantly, what else are they going to be dishonest about??
    If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor...

    If you are looking for a bargin.....type in unwanted gift....

    Unwanted-gift.co.uk is looking very busy at the moment.

    It makes me wonder about people who sell unwanted presents, are they being ungrateful, and what does/would the person who gave them the gift think about it being sold so soon after being given.

    Because there's always someone who's gullible/greedy enough to think they are getting something for (nearly) nothing and they can make a quick sale.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Thanks for the link, i've just had a quick mooch through and there's some decent stuff selling for peanuts! I guess this is the best time of year to go shopping for unwanted gifts :D

    That's what I thought and apparently it's a relist!!
    Never heard of any of those names either.
    Me smells a rat!

    I bet its those perfumes you can smell:rotfl:

    Really its breaking ebay rules of "keyword spamming" - putting in certain words just so your items come up with common search words

    Going to have a look and see what I can find though - thanks OP
