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 wellWins for 2011: ........................

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:Aug GC £63.23/£200, Total Savings £00 -

How can a dog not want it's xmas present? They are selling a cat one too?
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:0 -

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...0 -
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.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -

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.0 -

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

Never heard of any of those names either.

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 OPNot been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/1550
