Bondi man tries to sell 'stylish' Louis Vuitton paper bag for $6
A Sydney man is trying to sell an "authentic" brown paper Louis Vuitton shopping bag on Facebook for $6, claiming it is good for transporting organic potatoes in.
Mark Shwarz posted the item on a Bondi buy and sell Facebook page two days ago and was flooded with humour from fellow Sydney-siders.
"One LV bag. Used only once. In perfect condition," Mr Shwarz wrote next to a picture of the item.
Mr Shwarz's responses to potential customers were a little tongue-in-cheek.
"Yes. Only 6 dollars for a bit of luxury. Carry it around while waiting at Messina for an ice cream etc.," Mr Shwarz replied to a potential customer.
"Fill it with organic potatoes and carry it around like you own Bondi," he told another.
One user tried to barter with Mr Schwarz and asked if he would sell it for $5.60, to which, the seller replied with: "No! But thank you for your kind offer."
Another asked how many steps had been taken with the bag.
"We need to know the mileage on that puppy before bidding," Roberto Nungaray wrote.
Other users jumped on the opportunity to sell some of their own pointless items that were lying around at home.
One man tried to sell a used plastic bag, another tried to sell fresh banana bread, meanwhile one person said he was selling a bottle of used shampoo from a three-star hotel.
An apparent buyer masqueraded himself and uploaded a picture of the bag over his head.
"When people said a Louis Vuitton bag would bring my confidence back, I never thought how much it would change my life! Thank you Mark Schwarz! Worth every penny!," Adriano Leite said.
