Desperate Times

I've seen some sh*t for sale on the local Facebook buy-and-sell groups, but usually sh*t in the figurative sense rather than the literal- stuff that any normal person would throw in the bin, or at least give away to the charity shop. But tonight this popped up for sale:

This is someone selling a bed. Needless to say on last check there were no takers. Perhaps his asking price is putting people off- €51. You'd have thought he'd have been happy with a straight €50, but no, not this guy. Unless, of course, he's priced it at €51 expecting to be haggled down. 

I can imagine the look of pleasure on the buyer's face when they manage to beat him down a whole €1 and grab this bargain- the work that must have gone into filthing and sh*tting-up a mattress to this degree, coupled with the complete lack of shame in actually trying to sell it rather than burn it is surely worth €50 of anyone's money- the bed frame is just a bonus.
