I spent my holidays at my mum’s helping her clear rooms to make it presentable for photos. And then the estate agent has made a video, which shows all the hidden junk, toilet lids up, piles of boxes, random close ups of odd antiques/junk etc. Ah well. We tried.
But as a potential buyer, I much prefer the 'honesty' of that video compared to a few carefully chosen and 'enhanced' photos, as it gives me a much better sense of what the place is actually like. I can see straight away, that it's going to need a lot of work to get it anywhere near what I'd consider decent, as it looks like it hasn't had any maintenance work done for decades (save for the installation of some UPVC windows). Which for a property near the sea, isn't good. So the estate agent is actually helping potential buyers, who may not be able to travel all the way to a remote location to view just one property, to have a much better informed view of what it's really like. And it's not their fault you didn't actually clear all the crap out! Obviously sellers want to gloss over any negative points, but it's buyers who'll be lumbered with a potential money pit. So your estate agent has actually done a good job there, I'd say! Most unlike the majority...

Oh that's weird. Are embedded photies not working?

Are they hosted on FaceBook servers?
No, just screenshots - they've appeared now 😀
Can't imagine her making coffee with much gusto 😂
I'm guessing there's a solid market for cheap "coffee machines".
No photos sadly, but when I last was house hunting I found a great property where every picture of a bathroom showed a giant pyramid of toilet roll atop the toilet cistern. Something like 14 rolls or so.
I imagine the homeowners had the photographer take the shot of bathroom one, and were then like, "Hold on mate, we just need to move the bog roll to the next bathroom, with you in a moment".
Jesus @paton you know you could delete the ? and all the nonsense after it in that link?
paton's photo - ad says at the bottom " will be updated with more useful photos when I get a chance" - I guess that photo is deliberately bad to make sure nobody thinks it's real!
btw - the only bit of that link you need is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265406813707
Edit: MrP beat me to it

A triangular stack would be 10 or 15 or even 21 rolls if they were really showing off.
Don't know what it is with wardrobes.

Now thats what I call a seriously nice and characterful home. 😀
As I look about my small and cluttered Glasgow tenement flat, I think....
...Maybe its not nearly as cluttered as i thought 😆 😆
That is actually a very nice place. A shame you're selling up.
Tbh the Zillow house just mesmerised me,every time you look at a picture you get something else.
A family of monkeys tastefully arranged over a bar.
It’s so bad but done with a strange style, I’ve honestly never seen anything like it.
Oddly some locals are being done for selling elephant foot stools and I sorta wondered what type of decor would they fit into as to me it’s a strange thing to want.
Little did I realise that STW would provide the answer.

Is that the house from Ace Ventura?
Ironically the first pic in OP could be a dream for the trained eye looking for a bargain.
Maybe not so obvious to the untrained eye, but the bike looks to have suffered about two zero rides to the shop and then crammed into the back of a dry shed. Stuff dumped in front of bike (and over it) means the bike is not easily-accessible/extricable and so remains unused. Cables and tyres look mint. Crank logo unrubbed. Nearby (also discarded) crutches point to possible immobility/long-term health issues.
Best guess = looking at an ‘as new’ bike that has been impulse-purchased/hoarded by someone who isn’t into bikes/exercise (but momentarily thought that they might be)

The Real Thing...
A FS with a kickstand. What a rare and special beast!
It's got bar ends and they still don't know which way round they're supposed to point... 😂
I wonder what's in the black bags...
A FS with a kickstand.
Describing it FS is generous. Actually, describing it as a bike is generous!
Definitely in to BSO territory
Why anyone would want to buy a shonky picture of an even shonkier looking bike is beyond me.
Enjoyed this listing today. Pictures surprised me, when you want to sell something, show all the knackered bits? But then there's the dwscription 😀
The description is a work of phonetic stream-of-consciousness genius!
Brilliant.
Photo in the bin lorry made me laugh but then I saw more - genius!
No headset is the dealbreaker for me though, sorry.
😂
There's a thread over on YACF about that Enigma. Damned if I can find it though
That’s brilliant! Is the cow part of the sale?
No. It’s dead, as described in the listing.
Could be a kidnapping, though she looks fairly happy about it. Unsure where the bike is...
Also, just because you can.... 😳
Gotta love insomnia...

Only $1.5m - get it while its hot
Vespa for sale. Yeah, it's that one out the window over there...
How did he not notice that finger in the shot? 🤔😉
Genius 😀
Why do people do that in for sale adds? It's quite common.
If I can't put it in MOT checker I assume there's something to hide and I just move on, does anyone ever ring them?
