Someone from Cavan is currently selling a ‘Money Bush’, which they claim sprouts euro notes once a year. And it’s a bargain at only 100,000 euro.
In one of the more bizarre adverts we’ve ever seen on DoneDeal – and let’s face it, there’s been a few – a man called El Jimmy is selling what he claims is a ‘Money Bush’. Sounds… like a complete scam.
Anyway, what in the name of God is a Money Bush? Well, apparently, it’s a tea rose bush, which sprouts euro notes once a year. There’s a bit of a back-story to it, so we’ll let El Jimmy explain.
“In 1968 my father inadvertently drove his David Brown Selectamatic over a leprechaun in the haggart.
“The little fellah was buried as quickly as possible and a tea rose bush planted on the spot.
“7 years to the day after the leprechaun was buried a crisp green one pound note appeared on the bush. My father put it in the poor box on Sunday and said nothing of it. The next year and for all the subsequent years, the bush flowered with more and more notes, changing to the Euro with the rest of the country.
“My poor father died last year and, because he always gave the money from the Money Bush to charity, he had nothing to leave us. Now we are in trouble with the old mortgage and need to raise a bit of cash.
“We don’t want to take the money for ourselves, as our father warned us with his dying breath that we would be cursed if we did, so we are putting it up for sale. We’re fairly sure if you had nothing to do with the death of the leprechaun, you’ll be alright.
“Must be collected.”
So, if you have €100,000 lying around (or if you have an American relative you want to bankrupt) and you want a bush that might yield you a couple of quid over the next few years, then head on over to DoneDeal before it’s too late!
Alternatively, you could just keep your €100,000.
