More than a billion visitors each month used Facebook Marketplace to browse, buy, or list items, according to 2021 data. So for every seller, whether an established merchant or everyday people, this is a big opportunity to buy, sell, swap and give away stuff.

And while it all sounds wonderful on paper, in reality, online marketplaces are notorious for weird, questionable and eyebrow-raising stuff being sold there.

This Reddit community titled “Delusional Facebook” documents such examples featuring “anything on the Facebook Marketplace that is definitely not worth the money they're asking.” The result is pure entertainment, so scroll down and upvote your favorite pics of delusional “gems” sold there!

    The subreddit “Delusional Facebook” is one hidden Reddit gem that documents all the craziness sold on online marketplaces. Created on June 16, 2017, the community features “anything on the Facebook Marketplace that is definitely not worth the money they're asking.” With 2.2k active members, it's still growing, but the chances are it will be expanding way more.

    To find out more about the community, Bored Panda reached out to its creator and moderator GrundleZipper who said that the idea to create the “Delusional Facebook” subreddit started from “one delusional Craigslist sub.”

    “I noticed that there were a lot of Facebook marketplace posts there, and so Delusional Facebook was born. It's slowly grown over the years, I haven't done a lot to promote it but we're over 2k members now,” the creator told us.

    When asked why, in the Redditor’s opinion, people sell so much questionable stuff on online marketplaces, GrundleZipper told us: “A lot of it comes from people having no idea what things are actually worth. Just because you think it's worth something doesn't mean that it actually is.”

    “Probably the strangest thing I saw was someone trying to sell 'vintage' bricks for the price of new bricks,” the creator of the subreddit recounted. As if that wasn’t enough, the buyer of the bricks would have to come and take them down. “Really, I think they were just looking to get a project done for free.”

    I have to admit to confusion here. Maybe it's photoshopped, but it really looks like they're being worn. Nah, I must be imagining it.

    GrundleZipper told us that as far as the future, they will be continuing working on moderating the subreddit and “if it blows up, that would be amazing!” The Redditor added: “I'd probably expand my moderation team, and if not, it'll just be my little niche subreddit that makes me laugh.”

    I think these are Mini-Brands egg items, miniature models of the real things. They’re all scaled to roughly the same size as each other to fit in the eggs (kind of like a kinder egg but no chocolate).

    Yes, It’s A Sub-Zero. They’re Stupidly Expensive. But If I’m Paying $4k, I’m Expecting A Unit Clean Enough To Eat Off Of, And Not Covered In Black Mould
