Some handy hints for your listings on Facebook;


Used once in France - the atmospheric pressure is kinder in Europe
Just upgraded - actually means far better available but worth a punt.
Bargain doesn't really work when it say ‘listed over a month ago'
Old skool- creates an air of mystery and charm
Rare to find - discontinued due to it being rubbish
Scaling down - nobody needs this on thier barrow but hey ho
Visited by Mr Mouse - was a giant pack of rats but mice are cute
Can be temperamental- has never worked but excuse in first
Library photo - mine is either in crap state or you're being scammed.
Pretty sure it's genuine Neville / Solar - not a chance but need the money
Similar to - got scammed myself on eBay so sharing the love
Only used for 3 sessions - I'm onto my new hobby
Top name set up - I have a free spirit lead bag and some crap greys rods and NGT stainless
Large selection of pop-ups - found in the shed, about 8 years old and given the fact I already carry 40 tubs these must be proper dog.
Looking for XXXXXXX - hoping to find a mug that doesn't know the true value of what they have.
Small items under a fiver - stick pick up only as cost of fuel means you could meet friends for life.
Doesn't suit my new water - broom handles
Looking to swap - I value mine at retail, and yours as scrap
Message for prices - I'm actually embarrassed to ask for this kind of dough
Collectors item - don't use it's crap, stick it on a shelf
Anyone know any mainline field testers - after some sawdust for the hamster cage (sorry)
Field testers wanted - can't shift this stuff for £7 a kg so will let it go for £6 with free pop ups and a staff hat
Most half full - there's the odd thing here and there but the packets are nice
Pva foam nuggets - mum bought a new toaster from Amazon
Home made bobbins - the corner shop was selling off old plastic Batman figures
Still plenty of life left - this is absolutely knackered

Like it

As new - The one zip on the pocket is broken and the mice have chewed it in a few places but works as it should
Ordered by mistake - used once and it was a piece of **** so looking to offload it for the same money I paid.

One rod has had 6 inches broken from the tip and the butt ring insert has fallen out of one of the other rods ( insert easily replaced cheaply with one from Ebay and never bothered me ) the third rod has a different tip ring and the whipping is red not blue like the others .. doesn't effect use in any way. Other wise mint.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
