A deal not to be sniffed at: Woman trying to sell lampshades on Facebook pictures one next to a suspicious-looking bag of white powder
A woman selling lampshades on Facebook pictured one next to a suspicious-looking bag of white powder.
The seller also put up a post of a lampshade which she claimed had 'never been used', hanging from a light fitting and clearly switched on, in use.
She tried to shift two pink lampshades for £10 on a Facebook buy and sell page but her blunder didn't go unnoticed and her post was quickly screenshotted and shared on Twitter.
The woman wrote on Guildford buy and sell group: 'Two lampshades pink never been used.'

However, the pictures attached to the advert show one of the lampshades affixed to a living room lightbulb that is turned on.
And the other picture shows a lampshade on a glass table but in the corner of the shot is a small ziplock bag of white powder.
The incident quickly went viral on social media and racked up more than 450 retweets, likes and comments as users urged the woman to 'hide her bag of coke next time'.
One user commented: 'A deal not to be sniffed at.'
Another wrote: 'Also, never been used?' One of them is literally attached to the light fitting, being used.'
