People Show The Ridiculous Items They Found While Shopping High-End, And Each Of Them Is Funnier Than The Other (30 Pics)
Online shopping is full of regrets. But it can be really entertaining too.
A few days ago, Lexi Brown from Minnesota made a tweet, saying "A hobby of mine is finding ridiculous items for sale at Nordstrom's." Brown also attached a picture of her best find yet—a Pavé Chair Bag.
If you also can't understand the purpose of this sparkling little chair, don't worry. Its sellers are as clueless as we all are. "Always have a front-row seat thanks to this sparkly pavé folding chair made in collaboration with lifestyle brand Myreality," they wrote in the product description. "Shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week, this bedazzled object d’art doesn't actually carry anything, except for a conversation." And people loved it.
The tweet instantly blew up, receiving nearly 170K likes and inspiring others to share their hilarious discoveries as well. Continue scrolling and check them out!

You have got to be joking. $39,000 bloody dollars is just insane.
Why would you carry it AT ALL. Is there a point to this that I am missing?
Can you have a recording of the person talking too. Kinda make it like futurama style.
Nordstrom is an American luxury department store chain. Founded back in 1901 by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin, it originated as a shoe store and evolved into a full-line retailer with departments for clothing, footwear, handbags, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances.
Some stores feature home furnishings and wedding departments, and several also have in-house cafes, restaurants, and espresso bars.
And the sad thing is there are people dumb enough to buy this useless crap.
There are moments in life when you really need a rock, trust me. For example, when you meet the guy who sells you rocks for 100 bucks...
I had to know what this was - so I looked it up. It's just a rock in a leather pouch, it does nothing and has no purpose. And it's sold out! What is wrong with people?
An upscale Pet Rock? At least the originals only cost a buck or two.
I've got a $100 rock, but mine flashes a bunch of colors and It'll be worth more when I finish cutting it.
I’d have sold him a rock for the bargain price of £50. While stocks last. Subject to terms and conditions.
This just goes to show that some people are dumb as rocks (no pun intended) and will shell out money for crap like this.
Should have a warning label for people who live in glass houses.
Now, that's a "Pet Rock". . . just not sure why you'd brag about ownership.
My rocks are on sale for just $75. Call me now before they're gone, this offer won't last!!!
"That's a stone. -Yeah, I know that, but what is its purpose ? Why does it cost so much? -That's a stone."
I know there is a market for the things on the list because there will always be people rich enough and vain enough to buy things to show “I’m so rich I can waste money on this crap” the way we buy gag gifts. I just don’t understand how they don’t see how tone deaf it is to brag about it like this though.
unless your a geolgist that needs to find lots of rock and gemstones for a collection
Okay I don't know why this is getting down voted. I've always wanted to be a geologist, and if I happen to find a real rock I'm looking for (for a collection) online, after I make sure it's real, sure I'll buy it.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he dropped it and it broke open and revealed something rare and precious and worth millions? Doubtful, tho!
Nordstrom, isn't that a store where Ivanka used to sell her China-made junk? That tells you all.
If you have so much money that you can spend on such useless things my opinion is then you should give money to charity too. I give what I can, I would not be able to just throw away lots of money on stuff like these when I know so many people and animals don't even have food and shelter, it's like laughing in their faces in my mind.
Rocky? Is that you? (Context: Patrick has a pet rock in Spongebob Squarepants)
They are selling it wrong. It should be buy a rock, save a child. These rocks are hand chosen from our sacred Pa'rus river and represent the souls of our ancestors. It comes in a handmade leather case. 10 % of all proceeds will go to Save Pa'rus Children dot org
For $100, they could have at least painted it.. :-)

Obviously the perfect gift for David, before he faces Goliath ....
In this 21st century, anyone in the know would never buy such a ridiculous high-breed rock; no, the ecologically aware RESCUE a rock from a sensible riverbank. They're free, they have better personalities, and rescue is always better!
I got mine for free at the beach - more fresh and natural. The store-boughts are so uppetty!
Well guess what, only facts 1 and 2 are true

Nowadays, no wonder Nordstrom has so many "WTF" items—as of 2021, it operates 100 stores in 32 U.S. states, and 3 Canadian provinces since entering the market in 2014. One location in Puerto Rico was in operation from 2015 through 2020.
The corporate headquarters and flagship store are located in the former Frederick & Nelson building in Seattle, Washington; a second flagship store is located near Columbus Circle in New York City. Its subsidiaries include the off-price department store chain Nordstrom Rack and the members-only online store HauteLook.
Nordstrom has long been an early adopter of e-commerce, especially among its department store peers. That ethos will serve the upscale retailer well as it weathers the biggest storm in its history, which sent an even bigger chunk of its business online.
The company said at its virtual investor day that sales in Q4 2020, including the key holiday season, fell by a low 20s percentage, capping a devastating year in which the pandemic temporarily shut all of its stores and its clientele eschewed the fashion wares for which Nordstrom is known.
But another big result of the COVID-19 upheaval is that the percentage of sales Nordstrom gets online has risen to about 50% and the company expects that to stick. Which may be the reason why people have been finding so many ridiculous items lately!
I can totally see the Real Housewives of the Yukon rocking a pair of these.
who would even go online shopping and think "you know what, i'll buy some really weird lensless glasses"

Everyone's missing the point. These are all million dollar pencils. You only need to sell one.
Came here to say the same thing! That’s what makes it so brilliant!

I wouldn't be surprised if these companies have also listed "taste" on their sites for a few thousands
Load More Replies... I kinda do the same with AliExpress after I started getting their ads recently. It started because the ad was for a waterpark slide for $390,000. Like a 5-story, metal and fiberglass, several hundred foot long slide from a theme park. Shipping to the US was a mere $58k.
Some of the stuff on those sites is intended to be sold to other businesses - I've also seen industrial tools on there. Though you could also get an inflatable water slide for $1000-2000 if you want one for your backyard.

Every time I see things like this, I only have one thought: How can I get myself into the business of selling ridiculously overpriced things?
Wow I'm so expenisve i got a gucci bag!!! Wait why is everyone laughing at me? 04328fb1d6...03d191.jpg 
The hairy eyeball kind of threw me, not going to lie.

I'm surprised there wasn't anything from Goop. That's always a fun one for overpriced ridiculousness.
If I need a daily dose of "surreality", I go onto Goop's website and pretend I am a filthy-rich multimillionaire trophy wife and try to find the most ridiculous item. My personal favourite is the psychic vampire repellent that you spray around your "aura" to protect from harm.

Sure, they seem a tad pricey at first glance but when you factor in the free shipping on most of them......
i actually couldn't finish this- it was too stupid. i could literally feel the brain cells leaving my body, along with the little hope for humanity i still had...
Guys, I think it might be time to break out the f*****g guillotines.
I loved this - with coffee and brioche - flew to Paris to add my comments -$$$$$$$$$. But worth it
I think this sort of thing really got rolling when Republicans saw to it that the rich would no longer pay their share of taxes. It's time we returned to the tax charts of the good old days. Come on Democrats, it's past time to end.minority rule.
Oh the days when Nordstrom's was a simple shoe store in Seattle....
Some people have more money than sense... Even if I had unlimited amounts of money, I would still not buy any of this senseless cr*p, but buy durable things at the best price and invest the rest of the money in charities I find worthwhile.
It's a status thing. Like, you don't need a million dollar wristwatch to see it's time to watch the Kardashians. My $8 does the same. But I don't watch the Kardashians, I f***ing hate them.

Stupid s**t for people with more money than brains. I get that it's their money and they can do what they like with it, but people who spend tens of thousands of dollars on useless crap like this while others are going hungry make my ass tired.
Reminds me of those bags. I think they're Mochismo bags, they look like a baguette/croissant. They cost over 1k dollars. Des-sacs-M...f451ed.jpg 
Yeah Barbara, that's true these days...So where are you from and I must say like your gray hair

Lexi, the person that originally asked the question on twitter, is married to an NHL player. So she was probably asking in order to curate her shopping list.
Combine “money cannot buy taste” & “a fool and their money will soon be parted”, and you get these things.
you would think ... but no, today it seems to be more like ''a fool and his money be par-ty-ing''

i just want to to say thankyou to all of you for the great comments i laughed my ass off!!! the accessories are just ridiculous let alone the price..
Next thing you know they will be selling 5,000 dollar barbecue grills with pretty pink princesses on it for kids.
Not heard of Nordstrom before, but looks like it's a shop for people with way too much money and certainly more money than taste.
Not one of these items would I take if you gave to me for free. The fact that people pay for these over priced gadgets shows how little common sense they have.
Yeah I understand but gadgets has grade and some are worth the price, don't you think Barbara? I must say you have a beautiful smile

What is truly mind blowing is not only do people think up this crap, they are paid to do so.
they only put this online because people are buying them....???/!!!/XXX!
Dose someone need to save the models..? Or can we just leave them to make cash?
