we ordered physalis to come with our Tesco delivery t'other week. Much hilarity when the driver was trying to read out the things that were out of stock...
"The first Druid. Physalis(c) was born from the Terrigran tree in Rospero forest. A forest hidden deep within the soul of the Earth where Gaia resides. This was her first attempt at human life using a cat. He is attracted to his own gender."

One should have ordered from Ocado 😛

Just hang in there, soldier. It'll get better....one day....
Pretty lazy and not very honest but the close up shots give better detail of the bikes condition anyway so I don't think it's that misleading.
I would say it's about as misleading as it gets!
Fair enough if you state in the ad that the bike pictured isn't yours, merely an example of what it looks like. But to pass it off as your own is fraud, I'd say. Definitely not acceptable.
The French call physalis 'l'amour-en-cage' which roughly translates as 'get in the love cage'*
*(it's actually love-in-a-cage)
If you don't want pictures nicking, don't put them in the public domain. Simples!!

Same thoughts on cars, bikes left outside, kids with candy etc... ?
And stupid catchphrases from crap tv adverts to identify numpties on the internet?

Oh, Houns. You're so waffly versatile.
Has nobody pointed out that the OP's wall and paving are in a shocking state whereas the [s]scammer[/s] seller has clearly made an effort in that regard. Surely that's got to count for something?
Fruit? I have pork pies, will that do?

You're greeeeeeeeaaaaaat!
Here we go - first go at using the security fruit 🙂 (apples this week btw)
security fruit ... (apples this week btw)
good idea but the stem needs slamming
Aye. There's a core of a good idea there. I just hope the next variety isn't Cox's.....
damn, pipped to the gags......
what happens if stuff takes more than a week to sell?
do we end up with an increasingly rotten apple next to it as the time lapse continues or do I need to invest in additional fruit and take more pics each week?
Maybe if I just take a picture with a fruit bowl with a good selection in and reuse the pics for weeks?
Jamie wants the apple 🙂
Hmmm a big fruit bowl will future proof a long sale.
After about year or so of this though, google will be awash with fruit and bike bits pics so we'll have to change to something else.
Pastries?
garden weeds seem a popular choice.
maybe just a piece of paper with your username on?
unless you have multiple logins it should future proof any sales and make it difficult for others to claim it was their apple all along.
the apple gives the sale a certain appeal (geddit!!) though 🙂
If you think using somebody else's photo's to sell your bike's cheeky, how about using our shop's ad to try and flog a bike you've stolen from us (dodgy agency driver at a courier service, and yes, he did get stung by the police).
"RELISTED DUE TO TIMEWASTERS" that just makes my piss boil and puts me off looking at something I may be interested in. Angry sellers as they didn't make a sale 😆
