junk

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.

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.

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.

Redditor michaelsiemsen found the perfect way to hold onto all of the useless stuff in his garage his wife wouldn't let him throw away.

"For the past two years, anything sitting in our garage that the wife says we can't get rid of, I've hung as "art" in our otherwise useless front room" -- michaelsiemsen
