It’s truly a clown world that we’re living in, and here’s the proof. Scroll down for some of the weirdest things for sale that deserve to be shamed, hard… but with a cheery smile and a wholesome chuckle. If you’ve got any online shopping enthusiasts in your social circle, be sure to brighten up their day with this list, loaded with laughs. Got any weird experiences with online ads or secondhand shopping scams? We’re all ears—tell us all about it in the comments. Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is; and don’t take something just because it’s free.
Bored Panda reached out to KristL Buckland, the creator and one of the admins running ‘Marketplace Shaming,’ and she was kind enough to tell us all about the inspiration behind the Facebook group, how to avoid online scams, and why humor is so important. “Be safe, be smart, request a second opinion, read reviews, proceed with caution,” she said about online shopping.
