Funny adverts by parents to sell their prams / strollers

Here are some funny advertisements that people have penned to sell their prams / strollers.

Funny eBay Listing for Stroller by Disgruntled UK Dad

A disgruntled father listed his kids’ pram on ebay — and the funny listing went viral.

“Here we have for sale the green monster that can only be Phil and Teds. I shall be glad to see it leave my premises and never return.

“This was purchased against my wishes many years ago as I never wanted any children and a buggy signified my wife’s intent to have children. We argued much and this buggy signifies everything that ended my happy carefree low cost child free life.

This buggy clearly meant she intended to have not just one but multiple children and the extortionate price of this buggy will stay imprinted on my brain till the day I die. I have bought cars that cost less than this buggy. My dad once bought a house that cost less than this buggy.

“Anyway as you can tell I hate the buggy. I now have 3 children, and a Labrador and am forced to endure the school run where women I dont know try and discuss the price of centre parc holidays, and the benefits of the micro over the mini micro scooter. To summarize my life is over and this green albatross needs to go round some other poor sods neck.

“On the positive none of my three children were stupidly fat, but its been driven by my wife a lot so not all good. During its lifetime its had pretty much every bodily fluid known to science, (and several that have yet to be discovered) chucked over it by my children, Its also absorbed its own weight in Ellas Kitchen meals, and mud.”

Pretty great, yes? But wait, there’s more:

“I have tried to maintain this item as best I could and the wheels were filled with green slime to prevent punctures, and WD40 has been used with gusto on the relevant parts. It even comes with what I lovingly refer to as the Cinderella attachment for the second child you have but dont love as much as the first. It means they can sit but cant see anything, and have a ride thats about as comfortable as a Ford Model T.

“All of my children are now walking (often in completely the wrong direction) but someone else deserves to give this a good home. Over the years I have collected spare bits from other zombified fathers who were once full of life and I will throw these in as well.

“According to the other half she has the baby carry item that came with this and the pannier bags (whatever they are) but she never used them and they are immaculate and will be listed when she conquers her fear of heights and gets into the loft.

“This buggy has never been used for dog sledding, racing, or buggy bumper cars, although I once used it to concuss a randy Alsatian that tried getting amorous with my lab.

“There are many adverts on here for immaculate models and these people are all liars and scoundrels as nothing that comes into contact with a young child is ever immaculate.

“So for a starting price of just £9.99 you too can screw up your life. There are programs for those of you who need to recover from drugs or alcohol. Any money generated from this sale will be used to help me recover from children (and probably involve drugs and alchohol)

“So spend big – it’s for a good cause…”

Australian Mum writes funny Gumtree advert for fancy $1200 (£880) pram

If you’re really attached to some thing that you have been using for many years, and need to sell it for some reason, here’s how to sell it so that the potential buyer will at least appreciate what you’re offering.

Here’s how to write a great advert on Gumtree to get some promotion and make sure people understand how much giving up that thing means to you.

In the advert, an Australian mom has focused on what she likes about the pram (Bugaboo Donkey Duo) rather than the more practical stuff like size of the wheels or maximum weight.

She tells you clearly why she’s selling it:

I love this pram and I don’t want to sell it because I feel like an actual Kardashian when I hit Coles with it. My babes are now too big and I need a new pair of Manolo Blahniks because I dropped a meat lovers pizza on my other ones.

Few things about the condition and features (with a dose of humor):

In really good condition (a few black rub marks from the tyres, pram tyres, not car tyres, it’s the only thing I haven’t run over). 1 x bag thingy, completely impractical, but it looks cool.

The Queen of Prams. Operates a double pram or single with a side shopping basket, yaaaasss no squished soggy bread in the bottom of yo pram from the 3 litre Harvey Fresh (support local Dairy Farmers).

1 x bassinet perfect as an extra large shopping basket for those retail therapy cos ya husband is too lazy to change a nappy and would it kill him to pick up his bloody dirty jocks days.

1 x comfort wheel board (the bike seat thing) and adaptor to stop your toddler whining their legs are sore after walking 3 meters. It also means you can carry three children, if you’re brave enough to live that life.

Don’t live in WA? Then depending on your cellar that may not be a problem:

Pick up only, or I may deliver if you catch me on a good day and offer wine.
Nikki wants $1200 for her “over $2500 worth of stylish prammy fabulousness” and while we aren’t bidding, we think she’s earned every sent.
