Selling a mirror isn’t as straightforward as it seems; people often rush to snap a photo and list the item, resulting in amusing snapshots, especially involving mirrors. There’s a dedicated page (formerly on Twitter) called ‘People Selling Mirrors,’ featuring a variety of amusing and interesting posts that might bring a smile to your face or inspire your own mirror-selling efforts. Take a look for some entertaining highlights.
Oh my god it’s a ghost
I’ve heard of haunted mirrors before, but this one’s new to me. I’ve never known ghosts to wear sunglasses, especially indoors.
“Good boy not included”
Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the goodest boy of them all? None other, of course. Also, love the pelican painting in the background.
This one makes you look smaller, clearly
I’ve heard of some mirrors making you look fatter. Anyone up for a mirror that does the opposite? Maybe the Queen of Hearts will appreciate this one too.
Bastet’s got some things to get rid of
The Egyptian deity’s got some unwanted stuff they need to sell. The Egyptians did hold cats in high esteem, and this mirror might have been one of the hundreds of gifts their loyal worshippers gave them.
Make love to the camera, right?
The difference between a vanity and a mirror might just be in what you look like when you use them. I guess there’s no doubt what this one is.
Jumpscare much?
Is it just me, or is there something so terrifyingly uncanny about this? I sure hope that’s just the mirror distorting his face, cause I’d think twice about meeting up with a seller who looks like that.
Any appreciators of surreal art out there?
I’ve seen selective breeding do some strange things to dogs, but nothing like this. Must be difficult for this dog to butt heads when its head is coming out of its butt.
Why would you show me a cat this cute if it doesn’t come with the mirror?
Aside from the feat of taking this photo somehow, I get unreasonably upset that this cat isn’t included with the purchase of this mirror. At least I can look at myself, and I’m pretty cute too.
Is this going to be a theme on this slideshow?
Pets and their butts have a knack for showing up in photos of mirrors, it would seem. Might be a way of showing off how clear the mirror is, if you can see every detail on your dog’s butt.
Mysterious, I like it
No glasses, no tripod, no problem. The wrap-around lights lining the back just add to the vibe, even if they might not be intentional.
Now hold on a second
When taking photos of your mirror for sale, I am begging you to people to think of what angles you’re using. I’m not sure seeing your crotch is going to help boost the listing at all.
This is the second one on this slideshow
Seems like if you need a sales photo of a mirror, your best bet is either a dog’s butt or a really uncomfortable close-up of your face. Are those the only things people use mirrors for?
You know what? This one’s not that bad
It may be a bit awkward for buyers to see you in the reflection, but as long as it gets sold, it’s not a huge deal. I also appreciate that it’s not a dog’s butt or someone’s zoomed-in face this time.
Hey, they’re not in the mirror this time
We’ve seen some pretty strange ways to circumvent your reflection showing up in the photo on this list. It begs the question: why did it take so long for someone to realize they could just do this?
Nice baby, miss
Not a dog or a cat this time. A tiny human’s just as cute, and props to this lady for being a good mom and keeping her infant with her at all times.
Too afraid to hang it up, maybe?
We went from uncomfortable close-ups to uncomfortable low angles. I don’t think anyone wants to see what you look like from the floor, but go ahead.
We’re seeing less and less of the body as we go down this list
From uncomfortable full-body views and close ups, to just some arms, and now just a hand. I think people are starting to catch on. I’m not complaining if it means I don’t have to see someone’s uncannily large face again.
This might be the worst one so far
If your goal is to make sure no one wants to buy this mirror, then good job. I sure hope there’s a meet-up address on this listing so someone can call the cops. And the worst part is that we’re only halfway through this list.
“They spelled Jules’ name wrong”
Props to this person, whose name may or may not actually be Jules. A straightforward pic with nothing awkward or creepy is way better than what came before on this slideshow.
That might be the cleanest photo of a mirror so far
This looks like a person with a huge void inside them, true. But I’ve got to commend the quality of this photo. Must be the lighting.
I’m sold
A cute owl mirror AND a photo of some adorable baby’s little feet? This person knows what gets clicks. It’s nice to have some things that are actually cute on this list.
He’s really not touching those poodles
We’ve all got some collectibles we don’t want to touch. Seems like that’s what these poodle figures are. So our seller here has to make do with this awkward photo.
Nice tattoos, pal
Came for the mirror, stayed for the tats. I’m digging the rose. The mirror is pretty nice too, I guess.
Alright, this one’s just sweet
We’ve made no secret about how we like the cuter, innocent mirror photos here. This one’s no difference. That old man’s smile just brightens up my day in all kinds of ways.
“Pic goes kinda hard, not gonna lie”
This isn’t the first “I’m holding a void” style photo here, but I still welcome it. It’s hard not to dig the eye-trickery in a sales listing, you know?
You go, grandma
I can tell this grandma is cool if she’s willing to help her kids or grandkids take a listing photo. Much love to this person’s grandma.
You couldn’t at least put socks on?
I know I complained about the uncomfortable close-ups earlier, but this isn’t better. Not everyone’s Tarantino, please put something on.
Technically not a mirror
Everything about this photo is so deeply uncomfortable. Buddy, please put something on.
Does it come with a diving cage?
Hey, there’s some shipwrecks that need exploring. I might actually take them up on this offer.
My brain is so confused
Who’s taking the photo? Is the photo itself a mirror? Who’s that person in the reflection? So many questions.
What do you think people buy mirrors for, silly?
Good call on making sure folks can’t see you in the photo. We can’t see the quality of the actual mirror anymore, though. You win some, you lose some.
Please stop doing this
I really, truly hope he’s wearing shorts. As for the elephant in the room, is it really that hard to put on shoes before taking a photo?
Must be a great mirror
With a smile and a thumbs up like that, I bet this is a darn good mirror. Is that ladder beside him also for sale?
I think Harry got tired
The boy who lived also put on some weight and tore down his living quarters under the stairs. Good for him.
Oh hey, a two for one deal
Technically two mirrors for the price of one. Granted, this isn’t a bathroom or living room mirror. Nice shoes, by the way.
