kford Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks for the tip-off. I shall rehearse my retort for when they hurl abuse at me when I politely decline their wares, like they did the last two times they visited. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,421956,421956#msg-421956 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14128-door-to-door-guys-out-ondine-rd-tonight/#findComment-378863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shell_8 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The guys selling dishcloths really annoy me as they don't seem to co-ordinate their efforts. We had 3 separate calls within 1.5 hours last night from 3 separate lads all selling the same thing.If you're going to sell things door to door then at least have some kind of strategy!

Sue Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 This door to door selling of crap dishcloths etc has been discussed on the forum before - don't buy, basically.Someone is making money out of this, but not the people actually knocking on doors, I guess.

DulwichFox Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 This is like Oliver Twist. Teams of 'Olivers' selling poor quality goods for some 'Fagin' sitting pretty somewhere. The goods are cheap poor quality. If you buy anything you will be 'marked' as a soft touch. Expect more visits. This is organised, all the trays these lads carry seem to be very similar in design, shape & content.

Jeremy Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The problem isn't that people are selling cloths and stuff to make a living.The problem is that they are selling poor quality, over-priced crap pretending it's for charity.

kford Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The problem is that some people on this forum actually fall for it. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14128-door-to-door-guys-out-ondine-rd-tonight/#findComment-379060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were crap.> Really Bad.xxxxxxxxxThe story I used to get was that it was a company providing work for previously unemployed people.I haven't got time to look this up, but there have deffo been forum threads about it in previous years, with links to stuff on the net confirming the dubious nature of these people's claims.And whatever/whoever they are, the stuff they are selling is not worth anything like the price they ask for it.

Gussy Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 We had them banging on our door last night. A big-ish, rather forceful chap managed to convince my husband to buy something. He picked out some tea towels, then my husband came inside to get the money - he was told/asked to make a donation, when I saw them I turned them over and there was a price of ?4.99! I was like jesus love they ain't worth a fiver, they are rubbish! He still paid for them, I think he thought they were legit charity. I just hope they don 't come back as I'm certainly not answering the door to them again. And they better not bang on the door and wake up my kids.
