More than a billion visitors each month used Facebook Marketplace to browse, buy, or list items, according to 2021 data. So for every seller, whether an established merchant or everyday people, this is a big opportunity to buy, sell, swap and give away stuff.
And while it all sounds wonderful on paper, in reality, online marketplaces are notorious for weird, questionable and eyebrow-raising stuff being sold there.
This Reddit community titled “Delusional Facebook” documents such examples featuring “anything on the Facebook Marketplace that is definitely not worth the money they're asking.” The result is pure entertainment, so scroll down and upvote your favorite pics of delusional “gems” sold there!

The subreddit “Delusional Facebook” is one hidden Reddit gem that documents all the craziness sold on online marketplaces. Created on June 16, 2017, the community features “anything on the Facebook Marketplace that is definitely not worth the money they're asking.” With 2.2k active members, it's still growing, but the chances are it will be expanding way more.
To find out more about the community, Bored Panda reached out to its creator and moderator GrundleZipper who said that the idea to create the “Delusional Facebook” subreddit started from “one delusional Craigslist sub.”
“I noticed that there were a lot of Facebook marketplace posts there, and so Delusional Facebook was born. It's slowly grown over the years, I haven't done a lot to promote it but we're over 2k members now,” the creator told us.

When asked why, in the Redditor’s opinion, people sell so much questionable stuff on online marketplaces, GrundleZipper told us: “A lot of it comes from people having no idea what things are actually worth. Just because you think it's worth something doesn't mean that it actually is.”
“Probably the strangest thing I saw was someone trying to sell 'vintage' bricks for the price of new bricks,” the creator of the subreddit recounted. As if that wasn’t enough, the buyer of the bricks would have to come and take them down. “Really, I think they were just looking to get a project done for free.”

Imagine if they legit just yoinked the US Constitution and we'll hear about it tomorrow
There are actual copies made at the time that were sent to each state, and those are worth something -- and reproduction copies that could be quite old. So $25K is not impossible as a valuation, but it would come with a fully researched provenance.
There is no single, "US Constitution" document. Many were published. This seems a little cheap, but then again, it doesn't say it's from that initial printing.

The movie was about the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution of the United States of America.
$25,000? Definitely not the original. The original would go for the $25 billion range if that cheap. You're an idiot.
there were approximately 500 "first edition" copies of the Constitution printed by by John Dunlap and David Claypoole, the official printers. Only 13 are now known to exist. The last time one went up for auction, in Nov 2021, it fetched $43.2 million.
Hmmm
I have to admit to confusion here. Maybe it's photoshopped, but it really looks like they're being worn. Nah, I must be imagining it.
I see where it could be confusing. See, in the photo they are beautiful my "modeled" which is different from being "worn".
Load More Replies...Never worn you say, huh? Did you just put them on to model them then, because if so they are "slightly worn" not brand new never worn 🤣
"No Refunds" He Said
GrundleZipper told us that as far as the future, they will be continuing working on moderating the subreddit and “if it blows up, that would be amazing!” The Redditor added: “I'd probably expand my moderation team, and if not, it'll just be my little niche subreddit that makes me laugh.”

I have no doubt a rich person would by this. I have read that empty, unopened coke cans sell for a lot.
Not that ya'll are dumb enough (or rich enough??) to buy something like this anyway but a partially full unopened coke can is not that rare. I've thrown away several. I had some 12 packs on a shelf in my shop that didn't get used for several years. Over time that happened naturally. Other than the obvious expansion / contraction with temperature I am not sure about the actual science behind it. Losing CO2 is easier to get but I'm not sure how the liquid gets out. But I poured them out in my woods before recycling the empty cans.
A person who has a half full mentality would pay for this ... while a half empty would not ...
I have half a mind to buy this. Unfortunately the other half of my mind controls the money

So Many Questions
Me neither! I have peed in a metal toilet before, in winter. Not fun! Super cold! No plastic toilet seat. Would not recommend it! I'm female, in case that wasn't clear. A guy peeing in a metal toilet would not really be an issue, I don't imagine. Unless they peed sitting down.
Load More Replies..."Less prison like ... and a toothbrush shank" Bwahaha! Seller has a sense of humor!
A sink that goes in the toilet is always something I wanted to use less water, but not like this.
Again, how is this "delusional"? What sort of idiot doesn't realize that this isn't serious? I mean "toothbrush shank taped to the back" doesn't clue you in?
I'm sure they're both actually trying to sell it and also have a sense of humor about it. A couple others on this list were definitely jokes, like the one about someone selling a Cheeto they already ate for a million dollars.

Another Addition To The Rare/Vintage Mcdonald’s Condiment Collection
Well now yung un, When I was a slip of a lad and Mackies had just started opening up in the UK. We used to battle our way through the herds of T-rex and weird aliens seeding the planet for an ok meal which was basically a burger, fries and a regular coke. It became a happy meal when they added a toy and saw people smile about it. We also had somethin' called Condiments, which were not to be confused with being nice about someone's appearance, and we sprinkled them on food. We had a choice of salt, pepper and ketchup
Load More Replies...The whole flavor profile changed when they switched to regular salt instead of the finely-ground stuff.

Anybody remember that scam that was being spammed to FB a few years back? A scam web site with $10 Ray Bans and I think a couple of other big brands. So easy to verify it was not legit but several of my FB friends kept forwarding the ads anyway apparently thinking they were letting their friends in on a good deal.

We use 'em as water troughs for livestock. This is still cheaper than same size metal one new, and this one won't disintegrate with use.
Load More Replies...Actually, that's not bad. It's cast iron, you get it reenameled and then installed and you're good. Lots of people using antique tubs.
Believe it or not, this is a good deal. Not for ME, but for some people. The actual metal claw foot tubs (which this appears to be) are kind of rare these days and rather expensive. Rich people buy them, have them professionally resurfaced and put them in a bathroom for that 'old timey' look. Personally I don't like them. I've bathed in one many times (one of our farm houses) and the metal is cold and it takes the bath water a long time to heat it up. You draw a nice hot bath - settle in - and realize your butt cheeks are getting cold where they are only touching the bottom and not the water. Google prices on cast iron tubs - $1-3K with $1,500-2,000 being pretty common.
A non-rusted claw-foot tub? Not too expensive to strip and reenamel That could be quite a find.
They also make fabulous raised flower beds for folk like me, who can't kneel for conventional gardening.
I can concur I turned our old cast bath into a giant planter, added blue trailing plants to make it look like water overflowing the sides
Load More Replies...Yes, that seriously is a cast iron claw foot tub. Antique ones go for quite the hefty price with just a bit of cleaning, so... Downvote!
I feel like it would have been worth it for them to clean it out if they were going to try to sell it.
