Believe it or not, people try to unload all sorts of useless stuff online. The worst part is that they genuinely think they can turn a profit for their stuff.
When they say that one person’s junk is another’s treasure, I don’t think they were referring to the insane things in this list. Can you believe the nerve of some people?
RELATED STORIES
Well, it *is* limited edition.
I don’t care how limited a piece of Disney anniversary merch is, this is ridiculous! Why do I have a feeling this listing is going to be up for a long time?
“It’s a bag. An empty bag.”
I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that someone’s selling an empty Cheetos bag, or the fact that they spelled Cheetos, like, super wrong. Well, at least they aren’t trying to overcharge for the bag.
“What goes through peoples heads when they call a 150,000+ mile vehicle ‘low miles?'”
No offense, but a car with that much mileage shouldn’t be going for over $10k. In fact, I wouldn’t even pay 10 bucks for it. I’m willing to bet it isn’t in as great shape as the seller wants us to think.
“Sure Buddy, you keep telling yourself that. I can find plenty of other certified preowned boxes for free.”
I feel like I don’t need to tell you that you can get moving boxes for free pretty easily. Some grocery stores even have boxes you can just take. Or, like, ask a friend. Anything but this.
Ah yes, nothing like buying someone else’s used toilet.
If you’re spending a lot on a new toilet, you’re either insanely rich, or you got scammed. If you’re spending $100 on a used toilet, well, I dunno what to tell you.
I’m a little concerned about the description, to be honest.
I almost feel like you should probably know whether or not the antique you’re trying to sell is a chamber pot before you sell it. Sure, it’s probably been cleaned, but that’s still super strange.
“Selling Dad’s advice for daughter’s profit.”
So basically, this person is selling their dad’s advice (and time?) for a quick buck. I hope that, at the very least, dad is getting some of the profits, because that seems super scammy to me.
Also, just ask someone else for free (Your own dad, if possible.).
“No lowballers, they know what they have.”
I’m sure that the wipes are still usable, since they’re just wipes and all. But… why would anyone think this is something you could get away with selling for $100 AUD? I wouldn’t want old KFC wipes if someone gave them to me for free .
Okay, but it’s on sale!
If you told me someone was trying to sell a single Dorito in a jar for $20 (plus $5.50 shipping), I’d be offended. But at $10 with $5 shipping, I’m… still kind of offended, to be honest.
Gee, I wonder why he grew out of them?
I really want to know the story behind these shoes. Like, did this parent know what they were buying for their son? Or did they think the shoes looked like something their son would like?
Either way, I have a feeling there isn’t going to be a lot of interest.
At that deep of a discount, who could say no!?
I’m not entirely sure why someone would want to bury a loved one in a casket that was previously used for someone else’s loved one, but at least it’s on the cheap (?). Yeah, I don’t think price is going to make this any less weird.
“McDonalds Playplace for sale.”
Can… can you just sell a whole McDonald’s Playplace? Apparently, the answer to that is yes, but it still leaves me with too many questions. My biggest question by far is: why???
“$10,500… ‘no low ballers! Could use some TLC.'”
It’s amazing how people will seriously try to sell their junk cars online. It’s like they think people are dumb (or desperate) enough to actually think that $10k for a totalled truck is a good deal.
“$100 well spent?”
Absolutely not! This thing looks as dangerous as it does hideous. This looks like the kind of thing you’d tried to offload on a friend or relative for free, only for them to turn around and chuck it into the dump.
Ah yes, art.
A letter in the shape of a bone may be an… interesting art piece. But the fact that this person thinks they can get away with selling it for 1000 big ones is pretty strange. Like, anyone could do this.
“Anybody need a size 13 shoe box?”
You know, in case you ever wanted to buy a shoebox, but didn’t want the pesky pair of shoes that usually come with it.
The worst thing is, there’s probably someone out there who’s willing to pay that much for the box…
Oh yeah, that for sure looks brand new.
Either this person got this Rug Doctor (that doesn’t even look like it’s been cleaned properly…) for free or cheap, and they’re trying to turn a profit now, or they got scammed pretty badly, and they need to regain a bit of their dignity.
“$500 for a broken furnace.”
So they don’t know why the furnace broke in the first place, but they’re trying to sell it for $500. Oh yeah, that totally checks out. Seriously though, why do people think they can get away with selling broken junk?
“‘Come clean out my basement for $15,000.'”
Why make a bunch of different listings for your old junk, when you can just sell everything in your basement at once for a lump sum? All with the idea that someone else can then turn around and sell said junk individually…?
“Quick, buy my broken phone!”
If I saw someone trying to sell a refurbished iPhone 12 for that price, I wouldn’t bat an eye. But as it is, you’re going to have to spend, like, half that price just to fix the screen. Yeah, no thanks.
I absolutely believe the idea that there’s a market for this kind of stuff.
Some people genuinely love displaying tacky or ugly things in their home. What some may find as charming, most of us probably find as mildly distressing and no fun to look at.
It’s okay, you can just say it’s broken.
At least they weren’t so delusional that they thought they could sell this clearly broken TV for market value. But… could they not have just taken it back for repairs? That’s literally what the warranty is for.
“‘Rustic’ seems like an a generous descriptive word.”
Why go through all of the trouble of bringing a trashed desk to the dump, when you could just try selling it instead? I seriously can’t imagine there’s a single person on this planet who would want this table in their garden.
“$750 for this hideous ‘antique’ crap catcher.”
It’s hard to tell if this chaise is actually an antique because of how junky it looks. The seller should’ve at least tried to restore it before sticking it on the marketplace for $750.
“What year is it?”
I can almost buy people trying to sell iPod shuffles (and other super old iPods) as collector’s items. Almost. At the same time, though, I don’t think anyone actually wants any of these in the age of Spotify.
Haven’t you ever wanted to own something super rare like this?
I’m sincerely hoping that the person who’s trying to sell a misprinted M&M for a thousand bucks is doing it as a joke. Like, this can’t be a serious listing, right?
…Humanity really is doomed, huh.
What a fair price for literal garbage!
I’m pretty sure an Xbox controller that’s this badly damaged isn’t even usable anymore. Like, it’s missing its joysticks and the entire back part. It belongs in a landfill, not on an online marketplace.
“$250 for one of the ugliest dressers I’ve ever seen.”
If you look closely enough, you can sort of see the wood peeking from behind the pink paint on the top drawers. So, not only are the colors hideous, they aren’t even painted on that well.
If a “distressed look” was the intention, they failed at that too.
“Keep on truckin’.”
You don’t need to be a historian to know that there’s no way the real Jesus signed this Bible. For a number of reasons, but especially because the phrase “keep on truckin'” absolutely didn’t exist in the year 0.
“$50 for an infection in your left ear only.”
I feel like a pair of earbuds is one of those things you probably shouldn’t buy secondhand. Especially if they aren’t even cleaned, like at all. At least you’re only risking an ear infection in one ear, though.
