    Selling something for someone (not me) for €450 - got PM'ed an offer for €100.
    Despite saying clearly, the price cannot be lowered.
    There is some plonkers around.

    As adverts.ie is a sister site to boards.ie I ask:
    do not link to adverts in this thread as it would point out specific users for ridicule, which isn't allowed.

    Oh okay, if he's a pensioner...

    Laptop for sale, Apple macbook and I had my eye on it at a good price of €350. Seller stated no swaps and had four offers of swapping different mobile phones

    Nothing but chancers over there

    Even if you state no swaps multiple times in your ad you'll still get these offers

    I got offered a boat as payment for a car. Not much use to me here in Laois, the most landlocked county in Ireland :P

    Tipperary is the most landlocked county.
    The largest and surrounded by the most counties

    That's not something to be proud of though

    Tipperary can't be the most landlocked, where do you explain all their water they sell? :p

    Ah, but Laoise is the only county surrounded by counties which don't touch the sea.

    Had a moped I'd restored for sale, repainted it completely, fixed all the electrics and running issues, had it up for butttons. I got PM's non stop asking if I'd swap for DVD collections, broken XBoxes, you name it. All I was short getting offered was someone's used toilet paper collection.

    Jesus man; then you need to learn how to spell it! It's Laois, FFS!

    Never been made a stupid offer, but the stupidest thing I ever saw on Adverts was a guy selling a Cigar Cutter from a Xmas cracker. It was the EXACT same one that comes in those "swanky" Xmas crackers. I pointed it out and he took it down. :P

    No they're not.

    Laois is the county. Laoise is a girl's name.

    http://laoise.net/

    You may be confusing it with Portlaoise.

    Seen some satellite images that show the coast jutting inwards and forming some of Kilkenny's coast as well, not sure to be fair.

    There's some right prats on adverts...people offering the asking price and then vanishing off the face of the earth and not replying to PMs.

    I reckon anybody doing that should be banned from adverts,its pure time-wasting.

    Well I've always seen it spelt both ways :confused:

    EDIT: According to wiki, Laoise is how its spelt as Gaeilge. That must be the reason behind it.
