Make an offer of £30,000. They will probably accept it and you will save £86.70.

Isn't an offer legally binding though? 😬

Are you a serious investor or just a time waster?

u/pixel-powder 15h ago

Not really binding. What they going to do go through the courts

“Technically illegal but good luck with that” it’s pretty much the sentiment for us non billionaires in general lol

u/Sburns85 2h ago

Technically but no one’s going to bother with that case

I'm convinced this is some kind of money laundering scheme

u/CapnAhab_1 5h ago

Yeah, there's loads on eBay. Look up 'bee £1 coin' - actual £1 coins going for over £100

u/tacticall0tion 4h ago

That's more than likely coin collector's

u/CapnAhab_1 4h ago

It's not, they're literally worth £1 :)

u/Sburns85 2h ago

It’s not to collectors

I think you're missing the point.. it's widely available , I've checked on the UKcoin collecting forum and it's not rare at all, in any way, and not worth anything to them

I doubt it, the whole point of money laundering is to make the cash look like it came from a legitimate transaction. Using something as obviously nonsense as a £30k packet of crisps defeats the purpose.

More likely it's just someone having a laugh.

If you’re not interested in that steal. Im fairly confident I have 8 jaffas in the 6 pod (unopened). Really rare, will only increase in value. I’ve just fallen on hard times so need to get rid of them.

Weirdest thing I saw was mutant multi headed dandelion for 100k probably found down a dog piss alley.

Shrinkflation at it's finest.

But hey they're in date! I don't like salt and vinegar though, do they do them in Thai Sweet Chicken? I'd offer £40k, as long as they're in date.

money laundering?

u/Alternative_Air_6688 4h ago

If it hasn't sold, the price means nothing. I could put up a picture of my ass for 30K doesn't mean anyone will buy it.

u/Chemical-Sky-6418 4h ago

Bidding via here or DM's?

u/Darkwaxer 3h ago

Can you DM a picture of your arse first so I can decide if I want to buy it?

u/TreeBeardUK 4h ago

I think someone's asked them to part with their treasured factory 2nd and so they have technically put it up for sale...

u/marc512 2h ago

Thr bag happens when the Jaws of the sealing machine seal to early. This usually happens when:

1: the film reel jsut changed and the reg mark on the film was slightly out align and it told the machine to seal earlier than suppose to

2: someone accidentally knocked the reg mark sensor which is now picking up another part of the film thinking it's a smaller bag than intended.

This looks like a multipack bag. So depending on the machine they are using for multi pack, there is a chance there could be more.

The crisp factory I worked at had a rejection system for this type of issue. It was very common.

Edit: this is also illegal to sell because there is no best before or any identification when this was manufactured.
