Glasgow joker tries to punt office chair base as drone 'bought at The Barras'

We have all seen our fair share of jokers in Glasgow, but some of them really do take the biscuit.

In the deep depths of Facebook Marketplace, a man who seems to hail from Glasgow is selling an office chair base...as a drone.

We definitely give him points for creativity because when we look at the office chair, it doesn't scream makeshift drone - but maybe that's why we aren't in the tech industry.

Listed under 'electronics' and 'camera drones', this completely useless 'drone' could be all yours for £20. The ad was posted on April 6 but - surprisingly - hasn't seen any takers yet.

Hilariously, the seller has added that the low price is due to the fact it comes with "no remote or instruction booklet".

The description says: "Bought this 2nd hand DRONE off a guy at The Barras, haven't actually managed to get it flying yet.

"Needs remote control and instruction booklet.

This poor guy really got stung at the Barras. (Facebook Marketplace)

"Decided to sell on, get yourself a bargain".

If this is true - poor guy, you really have been stung at The Barras!

Anyways, if you fancy a new base for your office chair while working from home, you can always pick up this one from the Bearsden/Milngavie area.
