Would I be the only one who finds this inappropriate ? 171414143693

All I was looking for was a football boot.

Oh...I wanted to see what all the fuss was about...Nup. NOT THERE...

[lousbloomingarden]

Its a shame I didnt get to see the culprit listing, but hey!....Not EVERYONE is desensitised to smut. If thats what it was.

However , over the years I have become just that , a tad desensitised and it takes a lot to surprise me but I can still manage to empathise.

It's the lack of consistency and prioritising that pings me right off !!!  Plenty of it in my category, I can tell you.

Glad they saw this one as a priority tho 🙂

Hahaha, you had to be quick !! Can't believe eBay actually removed it so quickly -

[i-love-my-sheep]

I am rather astonished at their speed with this one too! I have been repeatedly reporting listings from a particular seller for weeks and nothing has been done. They are allowed to continue opening new accounts to bump the price of their items up. They had several of their alternate accounts closed down for breaches, yet eBay continues to let them open more accounts up. Crazy!

I had a few old match books for sale awhile ago. Just the usual tow truck companies etc. with bare topped models. These got pulled almost immediately. Not sure if someone reported them  or ebay picked them up from the descriptions / keywords. Either way,  i,ve still got them in a box in the shed somewhere. ( Something else for the kids to find when I croak it ) They where pretty tame compared to some of the things I have seen for sale over the years.

That's a shame because there's a lot of people out there that collect those types of things. I'd whack them on your local facebook buy swap and sell. If you're not on facebook, sometimes the radio stations still have a buy swap and sell segment.

My step kids got a stern talking to last year about our collections. We made it very clear to them that when we croak it, not to throw the stuff away as some of it is quite valuable and some of the current stuff will continue to increase in value. I think the boy just thought, whatever, but the girl, she's got her head screwed on properly.

I-love-my-sheep - ........... You are right about some of the matchbooks being collectable. Like stamps most are completly worthless but there is a field of collecting specifically for the 1960,s-70,s topless girlie type matchbooks and they are quite popular sellers. I have sold individual rare matchbooks in other fields for $20-$35 each on a number of occasions. ( purchased for 20 cents at garage sales or markets ) I wont worry about listing the girlie ones again. They can stay in the shed with dads other vintage risque items including a Pink Panther Bordelo ( kings cross )  book from the early 1970,s featuring all of the "companions" photos & details ( also very tame by todays standards )  and an original Le Girls programme from the first series of the show.  

FOOTNOTE - I love my sheep too. The kids recently had four pet orphan lambs for a couple of months in our yard in suburbia. They became quite the celebrities, with the neighbours kids coming over to feed them and grannies bringing the youngsters for a look from miles around. They now live out at the farm but still run up for "a chat" when they see the ute out in the paddock.  Great fun all round.

I wonder if you looked around (maybe Google) whether there would be any collector clubs for the match books? I can see the prudes from the 60's and 70's covering their eyes and fainting upon seeing those things.....now it's all over the TV!! How times change.

Sheep are great pets. They are like dogs with wool. They never forget a face either. You could not see them for a year and they would still race up to say hello after all that time. My eldest is 7 next month and the friend that put the band on his boy bits when he was 6 weeks old, he can't come into our yard without an escort because the sheep will sit him on his butt. He gets that look of hate in his eye when mate turns up!
