junk

You can't knock people for their hustle, even when that hustle is trying to re-brand a useless 70-year-old couch as "vintage." Okay, maybe you can knock them a little bit. People will create and find some strange and dumb junk and immediately think that someone might pay top dollar for it. At least some folks have a sense of humor about it.

We live in a world defined by stuff. There's just so much of it all, and sometimes we have so much that we don't know where it should go. We ascribe value to that stuff, whether it be in sentimental, monetary, or in joke form. People end up trying to sell that weird stuff online. Does anyone really want a repurposed couch bicycle or "rare" Dorito? No. Nevertheless, people keep trying to sell their weird and ridiculous junk.

Why does anyone ever post something for sale online? It might be that they're trying to get rid of some garbage. It could be they've got something rare but devoid of value, like a Dorito shaped like Lincoln's head. It could be that they need an outlet for their horrible art project. Why is is always creepy dolls? There's no end to the weird and ridiculous junk people try to sell online.

People come and go, but our crap persists. With that, people try selling some weird junk online. You never know what someone might find in their attic or make in their backyard and try to spin into a collectable. From horrible furby-based art projects to literal piles of trash, people get clever and try to sell ridiculous junk online.

The internet opens up wonderful new marketplaces for those of us with weird crap in our attics and the creativity to rebrand literal garbage. There's a lot of dumb junk people tried selling online. There's soiled mattresses, pig couches, weird shaped potato chips, baby launchers and just so much more dumb and weird items people tried selling online. 

When people want to make money or just get bored, they get creative. People try selling some bizarre treasures online, from fast food nostalgia to exploded cars. Some people try selling dumb junk for the joke, and other people are really trying to make a buck, and sometimes it's really hard to tell.

With a little bit of creative re-branding and some hot glue, people can turn their dumb junk into bizarre treasures that they try selling online. Are anyone of these goods and services good or serviceable? Usually not, but they are weird and bad and they're for sale.

Do you want a four thousand dollar coffee table that weighs hundreds of pounds? C'mon there's tons of dumb stuff being sold online. How about a custom made flower pot that looks like half of a baby? No? Why not? Sounds like you're weird. It's like everyone is the king of their own antiques roadshow when they're trying to sell bizarre stuff online.

A thrift shop employee took it upon themselves to spice up the merchandise. It's reminiscent of some hilarious antiques roadshow alternate captions that can be found here.

This is quite a find for a Tennessee junkyard. A spectacle like this might as well have a big blinking arrow pointed at it! Really makes you wanna explore.
