Valentine's Day can be a hard time for the newly-single, so these spurned lovers could be forgiven wanting to make the most out of a bad situation.

Scorned singletons are turning their misfortune into cold hard cash by flogging gifts bought for - and by - cheating partners in the run-up to February 14, in a growing trend that one etiquette expert has branded 'distasteful' behaviour.

Boot sale app Shpock have noticed a rise in romantic presents being sold in the run-up to Valentine's Day, and say there are more listings of this kind in 2019 than ever before.

Examples include a coveted Loewe Puzzle Bag with £500 knocked off the RRP by a heartbroken user who wrote: '[This] was bought by my ex-boyfriend but I can't bring myself to use it. I just need it gone.'

This Loewe puzzle bag (RRP £1,500) is being sold for just £1,000 on boot sale app by a spurned singleton who says it was 'brought by my ex boyfriend but I can't bring myself to use it'. Boot sale app Shpock have noticed a rise in presents being sold in the run-up to Valentine's

Other examples include a Louis Vuitton handbag 'bought by a cheating ex' and an Armani watch from the seller's ex-wife.

One woman selling a PS3 computer console wrote: 'I'm selling my ex-partner's PS4 which I bought him as we have now separated due to him cheating. And I want this gone.'

Commenting on the trend, Shpock spokesperson Denise Böhm told MailOnline: 'Post break up, most singles have items belonging of their ex-partner that bring back memories of the relationship.

'Recently, we have noticed a rise in people from around the UK flogging gifts from exes and getting rid of possession from former partners online.

'Some are even taking taking the opportunity to publicly air their grievances in the process.'

But etiquette expert William Hanson has cast doubt over the trend, saying: 'Although the twisted yet entrepreneurial spirit is to be slightly commended for such a ruse, to financially profit from a break up is perhaps not the most tasteful of behaviour.

'It would be more gallant and sensible to donate the un-wanted presents from an ex partner or fiancé to a charity shop.'
