Facebook Marketplace is a novel way to sell a few things locally. Most people use it to declutter their homes. They make a bit of extra money by selling their old juicers, exercise equipment, or lightly used items. This, however, is not how everyone uses Facebook Marketplace.
There are quite a few people out there who have crossed the line when it comes to what they are willing to post on Facebook for a few extra dollars. Here are seventy-five of the worst ones we have seen:
#1 Tattoo artist
This rather affordable tattoo artist is willing to offer their services. We cannot promise that it will be pretty or safe, but at least thereโs a discount if you want Jesus playing basketball permanently on your arm.

#2 Whereโs grandpa?
There is only one question that needs to be asked. Are the ashes still in it?

#3 Bringing back the dead
At least they are honest about where the Snuggies came from. They should get some credit for that. But who really wants to use the same thing someone died in?

#4 Half-refurbished
Sometimes, you get halfway through a project and discover that itโs just too much work. Weโre thinking they started with chipping off some of the paint before giving up.

#5 Oh deer
This dollhouse is just unique. The question is, what kid would it not creep out?

Erika Clark via Facebook
#6 Questionable fit
Weโre not sure about the style, but that isnโt even the problem here. Why would you buy something when even the model has to use both hands to keep it from falling down?

#7 The photos
Itโs not just the products that have us wondering what is going on with Marketplace posts. What is with this picture?

Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#8 Just needs cleaning
Yes, just like the seller says, the fridge only needs a little cleaning. We recommend doing that cleaning with a blowtorch.

Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#9 More than a little used
Getting used tires always seems a little sketchy, but sometimes you just donโt have the money for new ones. Whatever you do, donโt trust what the ad says. Actually check the tread, especially in this case.

#10 Giving up
Have you ever had one of those days when the street ate your car, so you decided to sell it? This seller may have.
Although, we canโt entirely rule out the possibility of this particular Marketplace ad being a joke. Actually, we kind of hope it is.

#11 Suspect services
For some reason, we doubt this is the real Ed Sheeran. For one thing, they didnโt even spell his name right.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#12 Cheese
This ad leaves a lot of questions. Is it special cheese? Did they make it? Or did they just need something to sell and started looking in the fridge?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#13 More cheese
The cheese mystery just keeps getting stranger. Why do they have a wheel of cheese in their car?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#14 Homemade magic
Hey, if you believe in magic, this just might work. Itโs definitely not created in a factory.

Lily Dilks via Facebook
#15 Signed by God himself
Selling a signed yearbook is a little weird. Selling a signed bible, especially when youโre claiming it was signed by the almighty himself, is just downright strange.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#16 Censored
The things we think are questionable and the things Facebook thinks are questionable are not always the same. They might need to update their filters.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#17 Sega
Finally, something we would normally see on Facebook Marketplace. Oh, wait, it looks like it has traveled the world about five hundred times.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#18 Wrong button
This is not the mistake you ever want to make. We hope people didnโt treat him too harshly for this one.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#19 The tooth-bat
We wonder if they got fired for making a tooth-bat at work. It would only be as strange as their Marketplace ad.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#20 Itโs not just the sellers
Facebook Marketplace buyers can be just as bad. This one was clearly looking to trade up.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#21 Wasp parts
Selling a wasp is bizarre enough. Breaking it apart and selling each part individually just kicks it up one more notch.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#22 Flaming Hot sea lion
This one isnโt technically a Marketplace ad. You would have to go all the way to eBay for this gem.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#23 Cheetos everywhere
We have to ask. Would anyone pay for this? How is there an entire strange-shaped Cheeto market?
Source:
Audre E. Wade via Facebook
#24 3D tattoo
They should not be advertising this. The only people looking at it should be in the medical profession.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#25 The socks
If there is one rule that every seller on Facebook Marketplace should abide by, it is this: Be aware that some surfaces are reflective.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#26 Only $150
This budding artist is about to discover the first rule of becoming an artist: Donโt quit your day job.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#27 A little crowded
Again, some objects are reflective. This particularly applies to mirrors.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#28 Covering the license plate
People get creative when covering up a license plate. Some use the marker function on Paint. Some apply a sticker. Then there is this guy.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#29 Be specific
There are a lot of misunderstandings on the internet. To reduce the chance of mishaps, including a picture is always wise.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#30 When you love your car
A lot of cars out there have been given a name. Apparently, this one is God. We wonder if the seas of traffic part when you drive it.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#31 Questionable
Whey are they hiding behind the sofa? Wouldnโt it have made more sense to hide behind the photographer?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#32 Scabs
When youโre high out of your mind on painkillers because of a major burn injury, selling your old skin on Facebook may make sense. However, youโll regret it when the medication wears off.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#33 A little vintage
When people envision a spa chair, theyโre usually thinking about a clean and pleasant experience. This would not provide that.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#34 Deceptive advertising
Some people will do anything for a little cash. This is pushing it.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#35 Slightly used
It goes beyond โslightly usedโ when the toe prints are actually embedded into the sandals. Maybe someone should inform the seller.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#36 Scalped
We donโt know what is going on here. Just please do not buy this wig or meet this seller in a dark alley.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#37 Haroldโs chair
Harold passed away six months ago. This was his chair. We have to wonder if he died due to a gunshot wound.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#38 Unwanted services
Do you have a hard time telling people things they donโt want to hear? This guy will do it for you.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#39 Previously used tooth
Itโs unfortunate when dental work comes loose. This seller decided to profit from the experience.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#40 Unwanted art
We know times are tough. However, no one should have to sink this low.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#41 No returns
When discovering a prosthetic limb in a parking lot, most people would try to locate the owner or leave it at the customer service desk. This entrepreneur had other ideas.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#42 Pushing it
We all know that came from a mug they broke sometime in the past ten years. The question is, do they know that we know?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#43 Not sure
She doesnโt actually know if itโs illegal or not. That didnโt stop her from posting it.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#44 Auto-correct fail
We can see what they are selling. We just cannot understand what on earth they are saying.
Source:
Marketplace Fails via Facebook
#45 Gas โ other
The title leaves you wondering what other gas it could be using. Then you see the word on the side of the bike. Is the other gas poop?
Source:
Marketplace Fails via Facebook
#46 โGhostsโ
Maybe the artist intended for these gourds to look like ghosts. However, that is not what they look like.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#47 Tank of beans
This falls into the category of completely random. Would you buy beans by the tank full?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#48 Facebook Marketplace style
When a product isnโt selling anywhere, where does it end up? On Facebook Marketplace, of course.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#49 Spellcheck
Rendezvous can be a hard word to spell. However, when itโs right in front of you in the picture, and you still get it wrong, thatโs just facepalm worthy.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#50 The buyers
If you thought the sellers were bad, take a look at some of the buyers. We think we know what they meant, but itโs still funny anyway.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#51 What?
There are so many questions. What is going on? Is he the one taking the picture? Should we call 911?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#52 Not safe
Mercury is incredibly dangerous. Selling it in random soda bottles on Facebook is even worse.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#53 Marketing technique
When your baskets arenโt selling, thereโs still an option: bring some attention to them by dressing like a basket case.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#54 The model
The duck seems a little expensive. However, itโs the model holding the duck that really brings this photo to life.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#55 That house
Sure, just about anyone can afford to buy it. The question is, would anyone dare to enter it?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#56 Toys from the dead
What kid doesnโt want a toy box thatโs actually a coffin? Maybe it can go next to the urn they also purchased on the Marketplace.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#57 No chester
This is an odd thing to sell. The spelling errors only add to the peculiarity.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#58 Human billboard
It may have seemed like a good idea at the time. However, he may regret it by next week.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#59 Sturdy item
We can confirm that the furniture they are selling is very sturdy. It can support multiple dirty dishes.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#60 Not what she ordered
Be careful when getting custom orders through the Marketplace. This may be the result.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#61 The real Christ
There are many absurd claims that come along with artwork. This one might be going to the top of the list.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#62 Vague
When forking over $600, most of us want to know what weโre buying. What if it turns out to be invisible furniture?
Source:
Marketplace Fails via Facebook
#63 Ouch
There are creative styles out there. There are also false lashes that seem to actually be intended to stab you in the eye.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#64 The wolf
Actually, this might be one of the more normal things we have seen. Thatโs not saying much.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#65 Creative marketing
It could be an old flipflop. It could have belonged to Jesus. The keyword here is โcould.โ
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#66 Difficult questions
This potential purchaser just wanted to know if the washing machine being sold actually worked or not.
When the seller finally answered if the washer functioned, the answer was no.
Source:
Marketplace Fails via Facebook
#67 Confusing
This does not appear to be a picture of a wooden pillar. What, exactly, are we buying?
Source:
Marketplace Fails via Facebook
#68 Balut?
Some things should not be sold. This includes random eggs you discovered in a bush.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#69 Magical
Itโs a nice camera effect. We wonder if the person selling the โcloakโ will let you know where to download it from.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#70 Cat cheese
Of all the products that could turn stomachs, this is definitely one of them. Who would even think this was a good thing to make or sell?
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#71 Barely used
Itโs easier to sell something that is in like-new condition. This bed might have qualified twenty years ago.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#72 Magical properties
They admit they bought the ring for only a few dollars. You just need to believe in their magical ability to turn a profit.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#73 Another urn
There are only a select few things in life that you should not sell. This is in the top three.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#74 This car
We donโt know what they were thinking when they modified the car. We really donโt know what they were thinking when they tried to sell it like that.
Source:
Bad FB Marketplace via Facebook
#75 Gallstones
The body can, apparently, produce gems. That does not mean that you should sell them on Facebook.
