ONE man’s junk is another man’s treasure, so goes the expression.
Nowhere is this more evident than everyone’s favourite online marketplace. And Gumtree.
Here we present 5 surprising items for sale in Bolton for under £20.
Let us know if you spot anything else or, indeed, whether you make a bid on any of the below.
Sorry if we inadvertently start a bidding war on something you were hoping to get for a snip.
Ho ho ho how much?
There are only 337 days until Christmas, so maybe it’s time to start thinking about this year’s decorations.
If you think your home might be improved by a 35-inch tall illuminating Father Christmas ornament, then this one’s for you.
Seller, ‘Old Baz’ warns: “The motor that turns the lights is not working but he still lights up.”
I’m asking Santa for one of these this year.
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Ever dreamt of holding the globe’s premier football prize aloft? Now you can. But it’ll be made of plastic.
This approximation of the old Jules Rimet World Cup, famous for being found by Pickles the dog under garden hedge in 1966 (and something that happened at Wembley four months later) could be yours for £1.99.
It’s still the perfect gong for the winner of those day-long Subbuteo tournaments, or an epic mini-league bout on FIFA.
McKenzie crooked
If you wrote to Office star McKenzie Crook requesting a nice signed picture, then got this in return, you’d have to be a bit disappointed.
Maybe that’s why it’s on EBay for 99p with no bids.
No VAT
Looks like whoever’s selling this Only Fools and Horses Reliant Robin model bought their camera off Del Boy.
This has already had a bid of £3.99 placed, so you might need more than a pony in your pocket by the time bidding ends on Friday.
The spice is right
We’re not quite sure why this seller overlooked these delicious condiments while they were preparing their enchiladas, but if you like it spicy (and saucy) then this will tick a few boxes.
With only a day and left and no bids it looks like this spicy haul could be yours for a mere 99p.
Your quid will get you three spice mixes for enchiladas, two creamy topping sauces and six packs of salsa. Deal.
