Marketplace Fails

Omigod. I have seen some things in my life, but the internet marketplace is a dark, dark place. People are simply losing their minds. Who is looking at a dirty tennis ball and thinking, “Yes, this is an asset. This is liquidity.” It’s incorrect. It’s deeply incorrect.

We have people selling ketchup packets for ten dollars. Ten American dollars! For a condiment that is dangerously bloated! It’s giving “botulism,” and not in a chic way. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just because you own something doesn’t mean it has value. Sometimes, trash is just trash. Put it in the bin and stop trying to curate a storefront for your garbage.

I need to go lie down. The hot dog couch? Ew, David. Just ew. The fact that someone made that, and then someone else tried to sell it, is a testament to the bad taste of humanity. And the mild sauce packets? That is theft! You stole those!

This gallery is a masterclass in delusion. It really makes you appreciate the concept of a landfill. Next time you think about selling your used shopping cart on the lawn, maybe just… don’t.

If you enjoy judging people’s questionable choices, you will love our other galleries featuring design disasters, thrift store fails, and choosing beggars.
