This Online Group Is Sharing Posts Of ‘People Making Bad Decisions With Their Ads’, And Here Are 30 Of The Funniest Examples
If you've ever been browsing though the wild wild online land known as Facebook marketplace, you know what to expect. Among many items put up on sale here by random people, the chances to come across something bizarre, questionable or funny are pretty high. Check out some illustrative examples in Bored Panda's previous articles here and here.
So of course, many questions come to your mind. From ‘what on Earth this seller is thinking?’ to a simple ‘who are these people?!’, the bizarre Facebook marketplace ads provide entertainment unlike anything else.
There’s even a whole Facebook group dedicated to, in their words, “sharing posts of people making bad decisions with their ads.” Below we selected some of the funniest ones, so scroll down!

In a bid to find out more about shopping on Facebook marketplace as well as some weird things people sell there, we previously spoke with Sean Fowlow, a professional thrift hunter and seller, as well as the creator of "Ridiculous Thrifter".
If you suspect that online marketplaces have become immensely popular in the past years, we can confirm that. According to Sean, “most people would rather browse through locally available items for sale online from the comfort of their own homes… than driving around their area looking for flea markets and garage sales.” It’s because going to a real flea market takes a whole lot more time and is energy-consuming.

This is his perpetual marketing strategy - you have to remove the glue and then call him to come and glue them back together again. LOL

I mean, I get the reasoning... I have my TV and soundbar remotes stuck together with double sided tape because they'd probably get lost otherwise lol

Actually my husband did that with two of ours, side-to-side and much more beautifully. Extremely convenient.

And 30 people thought it was worth saving? Maybe to come back later and show and laugh with friends.

Ahahah there is an apple tag attached to the bottom as well. This is amazing, just thinking how much they lost their minds looking for it. Ahahah
Moreover, we are certainly heading in the direction where everything is being done from our smartphones, shopping included. “As a seller of used items myself, it’s much easier to list all of my garage sale items on Facebook Marketplace than it is to set out a table in front of my house or in a public market and wait there for hours,” Sean explained.
He said that this way, people can then come get the specific item they want at an arranged time with ease, without “having to rummage through hundreds of items set out on tables.”
Sean also agreed that it’s true that there are a lot of weird, funny, and fake items for sale on online marketplaces. According to him, “Most of them are people just having fun… and it is indeed funny to see these items. For instance, I remember seeing someone selling a stainless steel toaster on Facebook Marketplace where the reflection in the toaster was the seller in his underwear taking the photo for the listing. It was done totally on purpose and I highly doubt there was an actual toaster for sale.”
On the other hand, the connoisseur of online marketplaces added that even though there are a lot of listings like this, they only make up a very small percentage. “The greater deal are legitimate sale items,” he assured anyone worrying if it’s all bananzas out there.

Trading up to a dirt bike, it doesn't say FOR a dirt bike. They're just trying to increase each item they get until it's a dirt bike. Don't think this starting point will get it there though lol

while not the best BP article, this is what I come here for. I am really unitterested in these "Am I The Arsehole for..." or "Wife Castrates Husband After Shagging The Neighbour's Lama, Internet Divived Over Opinion" type posts where someone does something that might ruffle a few feathers, but they really want attention, so they blast out the story for all to see. I guess Andy Warhol was right.
