    Weirdest marketplace/craigslist/online shopping finds?

    I just saw this listing and wanted to share. Gave me a good laugh.

    What's your weirdest online shopping find? Probably best to keep it SFW

    I saw a half-eaten footlong subway sandwich advertised a while back as a 6 inch. I should have taken a screenshot

    ahaha I'll have to think on this a bit, the first one that comes to mind is definitely NSFW

    the second one that comes to mind isn't weird, just endearing. I was browsing the online shop of my favorite local nursery, (you need an account to see links) and found they had some truly premium items for sale for the most discerning of collectors

    I love their descriptions. Wonder what Rascal did to get himself priced a smooth 10,000% lower than Rascutin.

    I got all sorts of questionable housing ads when I lived in the Bay Area. I'm not sure if I'd be able to find screenshots quickly, but one was a picture of a room that barely fit a narrow futon. It had cheap curtains on the wall, but they way they hung made me skeptical there was actually a window behind it. It was 600 USD a month. Another had a "private room" but the picture had two sets of bunk beds, and one looked like it had a trundle.

    I need this to be brought to the attention of a billionaire simply to see if they would sell the cat
    This is so adorable

    I've seen things like this near my area as well, it's a university town full of old historic buildings that were converted to 2/3/4/5 "bedroom" apartments and you'll occasionally see like a walk-in closet advertised as a bedroom or what used to be a single master bedroom converted into 2 or 3 "rooms" by throwing up a wall. It's horrendous

    It's just a fucking PDF. If it were a scroll I might imagine people buying it to display in their home for fun but... this...???????????

    Oh, I absolutely love this weird kind of shit!

    This isn't exactly my find, but rather someone else's, of this huge statue of a giraffe. But my favorite part was the fact that they would have somehow had to fit it in their tiny car. I was laughing to myself across the parking lot as I watched all their attempts to make it fit, but unfortunately I wasn't able to stay long enough to see how (or if) they made it work! (Sorry for the bad photo quality, I took this on an oldddd cell phone years ago)

    Another thing I love is when sellers use weird stuff to give size comparisons or model their items for sale on selling sites. I can't think of any specific examples but I love this one seller that used a Simpsons figurine to hold down the ends of their posters, shirt tags, etc. I wish I remembered what shirt this was so I could grab more photos but this is the only one I saved, lol. It definitely wasn't a Simpsons shirt, though!
