Online auction site eBay has become inundated with listings for used Social Media Echo Chambers (SMECs).

The SMECs have all been switched on pretty much 24/7 since the general election was called.

But now it seems they have run their course.

Despite claims the vast majority appear to lean a little to the left and that they do no work, the owners are hoping to cash in while they can.

Facebook and Twitter user Lorraine Fisher, 34, has used her SMEC relentlessly for weeks now.

“I really believed it was working well because lots of people were liking or replying to my messages of political wisdom.

“However, it now seems those people were simply of the same political persuasion as me, and my eternal lecturing made no difference at all to the political landscape.

“This has come as a complete shock because I am entitled to be right and everyone else is uneducated.

“But I am now determined to sell my Social Media Echo Chamber because I need the money.

“I’m not going to get any from Jeremy Corbyn’s magic money tree, after all.”

eBay executive Adrian Day said: “We’ve currently got thousands of the things listed. There’s no way we will shift them now.”
