HeHe,

I figured the NAVT board would appreciate this one:

"All items from a non-smocking home"

Well, as long as you aren't non-quilters too, I guess I'm okay with that...

One that I almost did.. I call computer a puter...when I spell check it, it will be corrected to read peter....I have to watch that one, because I often write about my puter....

I'm laughing so hard. I once got a GREAT eBay deal on a "Hull Mixing Bowel Set" because in those days "Mixing Bowl" would never have turned this up.  NOBODY bid on it and it was gorgeous.

I've come across a lot on craigslist when I'm apartment hunting.  I have seen listings with:

 

an indoor porch

walking closets

well isolated walls

 

There have been more that that is all I can remember now.

Confession: When selling chiffon nighties I used to mention the pricks in the nylon of the gown. A buyer asked me to not send her any more pricks as she seemed to attract plenty on her own. I have since used the word picks.

I was browsing through looking at  an embroidery pattern

The seller's description of the Item  was  a

design for a  collar for the neck.  

But what they had and were showing was 

a really nice Slipper pattern.

Ooooh. I am going to start searching for bowels on Ebay.

  Actually, given my family history with colon cancer, it might not be a bad thing to have a few bowels stashed away for a rainy day.

I had to go look for some bowels. Lo and behold, someone is selling Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Pick some up for that relative you strongly dislike. It comes in a powder form. Slip some in their tea, but don't give it to them too early in their visit, or, well, you know...

Looks like this thread could use a pick me up... so I have two contributions today.

 

Both were doll auctions.

 

1. The description was for a porcine doll.

 

2. This doll has humane hair.

 

:-x  You're welcome..

This is one of the sold unwanted gifts.  The seller did not say what was in it.  The photo was of the gift wrapped in paper.  It said, "I miss you, call me".  My husband found it and we laughed and laughed. It sold for $88.

 

 

Relisted due to ebay shutting my previous auction down because description wasnt accurate enough so ive now added dimensions.

 

brand new  and wrapped up still. 
unwanted present  gift
its from my ex and we broke up ages ago but he still insists on sending me gifts .
im a 26 year old female.
i just dont want it or anything to do that associates me with him.
i dont care what it sells for . just want it gone.
every present has a hint written on the top for what it is. its just something he did.
dimensions are similar to that of a phone size
h-8cm
w-2cm
l-14cm
good luck with bidding
thanks
i will send this special delivery
no returns as im clearing out.
Many thanks and good luck
this is a private listing so if you're buying this for someone they wont know youve bought it
