It's like a mix of creatively repurposed garbage, disturbing art projects, and stuff that's probably not legal or physically possible to sell. Whether it's intended as a joke, cheap attempt to hustle, or get rid of odd garbage, people are trying to sell some weird stuff online.

People will try to sell anything that isn't nailed to the floor, and sometimes they manage to pry that junk of the floor and sell it anyway. A lot of weird stuff goes down on facebook marketplace and craigslist, like this mistaken person who thought they found a stray cat. Here's any manner of wild junk people posted to get a dollar.
It's not good business practice to abuse the person you're trying to buy from, and it's even worse stealing practice to tell a dude you're gonna steal from him then ask for their address after the fact. There are entitled people out there who just think they can have stuff, like this entitled dad who wanted free art and childcare.
Even if this is all a ruse to try to get a comic for 35 cents, this guy's efforts are laughable. Nice try, you stupid idiot. This isn't the worst outcome, sometimes lowballers get sent on a wild goose chase. The world has its fair share of entitled folks who need to leave and take their attitudes with them.
For whatever reason, whether it's desperation, maliciousness or stupidity, tons of people have no problem expecting free stuff. There's people demanding too much money for their crap, companies asking for a career's-worth of experience for a free internship, and folks offering pitiful amounts of money for the crap they want you to do. Even some children and squirrels are getting in being choosing beggars.
Did she really expect this to work? A stranger trying to make an unsavory trade for a 400 dollar Grand Prix? Aside from the legality aspect, it doesn't seem like accepting 150 dollars worth of sex from a complete stranger seems like a very smart idea. Money can motivate people to do strange things, and people have a hard time getting what they want without being rude, like this abusive customer who got slammed for demanding to speak to an owner on bereavement leave.
The world is full of choosing beggars who routinely push the limits of decency to save a few extra bucks. Sometimes it's your cousin's ex-girlfriend who still uses your Netflix account and demands that you pay for it. Sometime's it's a random dude on facebook marketplace who wants your iPhone for free. Cheapskates come from all walks of life, and they're constantly making life more annoying for everyone around them.
This is pretty close to the definition of morally bankrupt. Don't fall for Multi-level Marketing (Pyramid) schemes and if someone tries to get you into one, just run away. This guy's approach to try to sell his old friend health products is about as ineffective as it is psychopathic.
The internet did a good thing with this high stakes bidding war between competitive egg buyers. The game of one-upping fellow egg buyers is not to be taken lightly. Timing and a willingness to supply that extra egg with the hand-drawn smiley face can be the dealbreaker sometimes.
Companies that use bait-and-switch tactics, ridiculous hidden fees and stupid fine print seem like something of the norm these days. These ones are some of the most unfair and stupid of the bunch.

This feels like a mean thing to do, but at the same time the seller did lay out his policy from the get-go. Man shoulda read the description. Not sure if this kind of practice should be standard, it's kind of time-consuming and awful, but them's the breaks. To see a baffling amount of entitlement, check out these choosing beggars who thought the world was their ATM.
Nothing is frustrating quite in the same way as the person who responds to your listing to sell a $300 phone and offers 20. "Twenty dollars, cash in hand" they say and you're like "Nah, I'm cool" and then they're all "I'm coming right now with the fifteen dollars" and you're like please stop this" and they're like "Please if I could get this phone for my three-year-old nephew, he has Ebola and it's his last Christmas and I have ten dollars." There's some pretty entitled people out there, like this private school that got upset a guy upgraded a charity before them.
Lurking in this world is a population of ungrateful, entitled, rude people who lack any patience or common decency. They come from all walks of life. Not only do they devalue other people's work, they'll also waste your time and be total asses about it. That said, it is kind of fun to watch them try to get a deal on a lawnmower. Check this out for more reckless cheapskates.
Anyone who's worked on the floor of any kind of store is gonna be reminded of a time when there was a customer they just couldn't deal with. Thank god for the good managers out there. This one is weirdly reminiscent of that old story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. For a triumphant retail story of someone in customer service who actually got to speak their mind, check out this cashier who told off a Karen and lived.
You read that right, eggs with smiley faces drawn on. It's not every day that you get to see someone sell a water cooler for eggs. And it's even rarer that people up the ante and start a bidding war over it. Out of all the weird and fantastic things we've seen on marketplace, this whole eggschange just makes us so happy.
Imgur user Solarstephy got a hot tip on this Ranch style house in Buda, Texas. It looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but step inside and your eyes start to water. Who of all people would be comfortable living here? A baroque cowboy? Some kind of grandma Dracula? Delores Umbridge? If you're intrigued by people trying to sell terrible houses, check out these terrible real estate photos.
