"Ungrateful? Or savvy? (Picture: eBay.co.uk)\nMerry Christmas everyone! Are you enjoying all your lovely new presents?\nNo? Then why not join these people who are already selling their unwanted gifts on eBay.\nIt had only been Christmas Day for a few hours (sometimes minutes) before these presents started popping up online (although, to be fair, some of them are pretty terrible gifts).\nOne seller was trying to get rid of a tasteless porcelain model of two mice sat on lumps of cheese (only £8.99!), while another was trying to auction off a Barry Manilow sings Sinatra CD.\nWhy? Why would you buy someone this? (Picture: eBay.co.uk)\nStandard last-minute Christmas presents have started to appear on the site, including a Beyonce shower gel and perfume set.\nBarry and Frank: A winning combination (Picture: eBay.co.uk)\nBey knows just how to do Christmas (Picture: eBay.co.uk)\nOne ungrateful (and ambitious) person was hoping to relieve themselves of an electric mixer, and be £80 better off because of it.\n\t\n\t\n\tMORE : The body language signals to tell if they REALLY like their Christmas present\n\t\n\t\nSecond-hand and £80? (Picture: eBay.co.uk)\n\t\n\t\n\tMORE : The Christmas nativity story, as told for a 2014 audience\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\tMORE : Children confused about the nativity story think Jesus plays for Chelsea\n\t\n\t\nInterestingly very few sellers write anything in the product description about how they hate their presents, but rather just opt for the &#8216;unwanted gift&#8217; tag, or simply claim they &#8216;already have one&#8217; (perhaps concerned that friends and family are scouring the site as well).\nIf you want a cheap second hand present, head on over now, where you can get a true sense of Christmas materialism."
