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.
If it was cheaper I would have bought it and run around with it making plane noises..

...Why, Luna... dear, sweet Luna... It is a flight of... "Imagination"... ...Will this be cash or charge, madam? 😆

I say it doesn’t look plain enough to explain that outrageous price. What in the world can you even put in there? A pair of socks? Pride?
Load More Replies...A purse is a purse. None of them are worth more than $19.95 and you can bet not a one cost more than $5 to make. (adding jewels doesn't count because no one in their right mind would carry a purse with precious stones attached)
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.
You mean to complete the creepy picture? Yeah, sure.
Load More Replies...I have a cremation of my dads mom and it’s already creepy enough without any heads staring at me in the dark.
Now I want them to make the heads with glowing eyes
Load More Replies...uh no, when I die I want my ashes made into a record that rickrolls people everytime they hear it
On today's episode of how f****d up is f****d up? : 10/10 That's f****d up
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.
I'm surprised Gwenthy Paltrow hasn't sold this on her Goop Website with some ridiculous disclaimer that it protects from vampires.
use it to bludgeon yourself to death with when you realise you spent $300 on a brick
The first thing that came to min was 'Their taking Brason to the next level'
Lol why buy it when you can make it? I would probably fail but its the thought that counts.
People have been making fired-clay bricks 'themselves' for 6000 years, give it a try!
Load More Replies...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.
At that price tag, I'm kind of disappointed that the fruit isn't Bedazzled.
Hanging fruit to entice monkeys, rabbits, small horses, pigs, etc to follow you?
Maybe small children? You never know when you need one to kiss for a picture
Load More Replies...I can sell you a replacement banana for $2,000 if you damage the original
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.
And thank you for the water that shot out of my mouth and nose *L*
Load More Replies...Tabi shoes are what Ninjas wear, made for climbing. theres socks with split toe too
Oh so the female ninja can climb trees in high heels I get it now.
Load More Replies...I saw James Charles wearing a white pair of these in one of his posts. When I saw the photo, I immediately thought camel toe shoes. I think the beige ones might be even worse.
And there's still plenty of stupid people who would actually where this . . .
Load More Replies...Don't be fooled, I bet that her hand goes as deep as the pocket is... so you can't put much in it.
Load More Replies...Clearly meant for women who think their **you know** is their most interesting and important asset.
Load More Replies...Okay even gen z wouldn’t wear this crap and sometimes we wear a lot of crap lol
NO ONE would wear this crap and they really shouldn't bc wtf is this
Load More Replies...And I'd imagine they're also very frustrated cats.
Load More Replies...It's a desktop statue. My mom is a knitter. If it was steel or aluminum and priced accordingly I would so get it for her.
Load More Replies...For $9,500 you could probably get at least 200 balls of just regular gray yarn
Nordstrom has long been an early adopter of e-commerce, especially among its department store peers. That ethos will serve the upscale retailer well as it weathers the biggest storm in its history, which sent an even bigger chunk of its business online.
The company said at its virtual investor day that sales in Q4 2020, including the key holiday season, fell by a low 20s percentage, capping a devastating year in which the pandemic temporarily shut all of its stores and its clientele eschewed the fashion wares for which Nordstrom is known.
But another big result of the COVID-19 upheaval is that the percentage of sales Nordstrom gets online has risen to about 50% and the company expects that to stick. Which may be the reason why people have been finding so many ridiculous items lately!
I mean, it has kind of a cute kawaii aesthetic thing happening but 1500$???
Load More Replies...I got something that looked just like that on a funfair when I was six because I could fish 20 rubber duckies within two minutes. Why is that thing so expensive?
Portugal would be quite good for this. Chile would be expert level!
Load More Replies...whatever, I have one the shape of Kansas in my garage thanks to the dog chewing up the corner.
I never thought that standard ping-pong tables were modeled after the shape of the state of Wyoming. :)
Who cares about Easter Island? I found one shaped like Colorado!
Are you sure they didn’t break it or a dog kept chewing on it and they had to carve it? I feel like it was just broken and they wanted to sell it.
It's a ping pong table for people who don't play ping pong. That makes sense.
I'm not paying $4,000 for a ping pong table, but this is actually pretty cool.
It would be easy to cut it out of plywood, wait that might be more expensive since Plywood is getting really EXPENSIVE (here in the US).
Load More Replies...You have a Christmas wish list from now? Wow you are very organized!
Load More Replies...Please oh please Santa, please let some rich person give me boxes of paperwork just covered in enough of these gold paper clips—-that they never figure out I replaced with the lookalike brass colored ones—-for me to get out of debt and retire early. Please.
A tin can for $1,100 the person selling this must be kind of a crackhead
At that price, I'd say she's the one getting f-ed.
Load More Replies...for when you are having a party at 5 but have to cut up a body into pieces at 6
It's perfet with the shrimp plastic bag. Even their colours mat h.
Load More Replies...I live on a working ranch. Our large animal vet has a box full of these. And to this day if you want to see a horse look surprised and violated at the same time? These do it.
I can totally see the Real Housewives of the Yukon rocking a pair of these.
You don’t get it. It’s meant for people who go to Aspen to not ski.
I have a friend who sells sunglasses and other accessories. She has a pair very similar to these (minus about 2 rows of gems) for $20.
There’s something so delightful about just saying “a homeless”. A homeless man? Woman? Dog? Nope. Just a homeless.
Load More Replies...I can buy something very similar for £9.99 at the local bike shop...
But you can lock yourself anywhere in the street so that nobody can steal you.
Almost 1000 dollars for something my child would make as a mother's day gift with plastic doll toys and cording.
It's better to donate to an organization than giving it to an individual.
I disagree, like 80% goest too the organization it self, like the ceo cfo. I never ever donate too organizations again, now only directly too the humans or buy stuff for the shelters etc.
Load More Replies...What is the ad Above This picture have a picture of a sign that says I told my suitcase is no vacation this year also really a bike lock
This idea is just another knock off of the Sid Vicious padlock and chain necklace. And THAT was punk DIY. A real padlock, a real chain, no upscale high end crap.
Cause if you buy that, you'll regret it every day
Load More Replies...Wait until you see the actual size. I'm sure it's something like 15 cm, to make sure it will be completely useless for any purpose you could try to imagine.
I could buy a real house with that money and still have some left over for a usable greenhouse...
The greenhouse is 20 inches wide, 26.75 inches long and 17.75 inches high. ack.
That's roughly 51cm x 68cm x 45cm for those using real units.
Load More Replies...But is it doll-sized? 'Cuz I'm not buying if it's not the right size to go with my Barbie Mansion.
Someone else said it was 20” wide x 26.75” long x 17.75” high, so a bit big for Barbies Dream Mansion.
Load More Replies...You just need enough staff to keep this entire building polished so it won’t tarnish. Uh-huh. Sure.
I'm guessing this isn't going to be big enough to sit in if it is sterling silver!
yes, so you can fly away from awkward situations about your ugly hat.
See you in Panem where I will be donning these to enjoy the games...
May the odds be ever in your favor (but not in this hat).
Load More Replies...Haha...I was going to say that everyone here is too young, it's a Flying Nun Hat!! Beat me tho ;)
Load More Replies...The only difference between crazy and eccentric, is money.
Load More Replies...A comfy strait jacket. I see. So you can be dragged off to the mental hospital “in style”. Hogwash. “Did you see what Karen was wearing when she was dragged in?” “ I know, gorgeous right?” “Maybe she doesn’t belong here.” “I disagree. I think she should be in here a year to pay for her crime of wearing a comforter.”
If this was cheaper, I'd give this as a house warming gift to people I hate.
I once read, "If you're brave enough, ANYTHING can become a dildo!"
if you have wilted flowers growing from your pee pee you need to seek medical advice
those vibram five fingers, I know them, my former boss wore them for jogging (apparently really comfy). Didn't know they existed with a heel though.
I thought the heel part was some kind of display technique! Those shoes were controversial quite a few years ago so I didn't know what the big deal was (aside from price tag) until I read your comment.
Load More Replies...Normal vibram toe shoes are nowhere near that expensive, I guess it’s because it appears to be a collaboration with Balenciaga.
The only way these would be worth $1,290.00 is if they launched you into the air at each step like you're walking on the moon.
Put this with the shrimp purse and you got a potentially delicious stir fry... or not.
What's with the transparent colored chains that go with all of these treacherously epensive acrylic food bags?
This looks like a cheap bag you get in place of something trendy on wish
In Hungarian, 'vaker' means talking without real content. Like this... thing.
Call me weird but I think that the skirt is actually cool?
"I'm a doctor and this beats any prescription"
But haven't you seen the commercials? Olay beat the $400 and $1200 creams and you can get Olay for $30. Actually, my dermatologist told me Olay w/ SPF 15 is fine for every day use. Just saying.
It's tripled in price over the pass few years, but I used to use it...and it's "simply the best".
Sorry, but La Mer is worthy of that price tag. It's a miracle in a jar for the skin.
Maybe for you. I developed curative acne from it. When I stopped it, went away and never has come back. Definitely not with the price tag. And I spend about $150 for the same thing.
Load More Replies...Creme De La Met was developed by a chemist who'd received tragic facial burns. He developed La Creme (and it does deserve all caps) out of a seaweed based formula that helped soften and smooth his burn scars. I guess the rest of the world has discovered its incredible efficacy, or it wouldn't have tripled in price. But it works. I know because I read it on the internet.
Yeah, why can't we hit the "show less" button?
Load More Replies...who would even go online shopping and think "you know what, i'll buy some really weird lensless glasses"
People do buy glasses without lenses, so I guess this is the next step.
Many, many years ago, I removed my bra before leaving work for the day and threw it into my purse. I walked down a busy street for about a mile before realizing that the bra didn't actually go INTO my purse, but was just hanging out flapping in the wind. I wondered why I kept getting weird looks from people. I should sue them for stealing my idea!
I have a bra shaped purse from 1st grade. I still remember us walking through the flea market and it caught my sister’s eye. My mom asked how much it was and the lady asked her mom. Her mom said “cinco” and I was happy that I knew it was five. Anyways still have it, I can show y’all if y’all want.
The women's (or person's) version of Superman wearing his underwear on the outside.
C'mon, Sara. It's not a $96 "stick" -- it's a $96 "lash instrument." Sheesh...
It's a reusable mascara wand, god people -.-' they sell the mascara fluid separately and it's to make less trash, it's gold plated and you can just wash it and reuse it. CALM DOWN PEOPLE.
So you'd *lash* at them? Maybe with the *lash instrument*? :D
Load More Replies...A literal drywall screw works just as well. Just shwoop it on and bam
My head is too big for this short chain, it cannot go from one ear to the other.
Load More Replies...What? Not lined with soft fluffy chinchilla fur? (/s before PETA members get their backs up.)
Too expensive. I can get the same result with socks, belts or ties.
At least thanks to this s**t we can see rich airheads dressing like assholes
A long jacket is a coat, surely? But I don't know if it's more like a dress at the front.
Load More Replies...Was she marrying a vegetable? Was it a Romaine Catholic wedding? Lettuce pray. Don't tell me... it was a 24-carrot ring?
A proof of the need for a faoshion police force, if there ever was one.
Fashion PO says through bullhorn: “Mame, slowly raise your hands above your head. You are under arrest for wearing non-clothing as clothing. Now hand it over before my eyes melt.”
Load More Replies...Pretty design. Too bad they ruined it by making it out of a space blanket.
Find a friend to wear the eyeball shower curtain and you can be MATCHING :D
Even Louis XIV got rid of his silver throne because he did not get its purpose... People who buy this thing are even less humble and even more irresponsible with their finances than the guy who built an entire new royal palace and capital city and who represented himself as a grek god.
Most premium companies knowingly sell ridiculously overpriced oddities.The products generate free advertising, which is happening here. Also these oddities make their other over-priced items seem like a good deal by contrast. If they sell some of the oddities then that's icing on the cake.
And let's just be clear here too; "white gold" is not actually a thing in the first place. It's a marketing gimmick to sell electrum (gold and silver alloy). They adjust the color by changing the ratio of silver, so the brighter it is the less actual gold it has.
Just get a Zippo, it’ll last forever. I’ve got one from 1970 and it still works and looks like new.
With the rate at which people "borrow" and never return lighters, hard pass.
That's about $1.28 per tamale, not including shipping. The price seems pretty reasonable, but I wouldn't trust Neiman Marcus to make a good tamale.
I mean, they got sued for having their Christmas decorations up way out of season...
Load More Replies...i can make tamales for like 10 bucks and they will probably taste better, because no shipping.
Tamales take a lot of labor to produce though, so if you were selling them you'd have to charge a lot more than just materials.
Load More Replies...Yep, this is a decent price. Everything Neiman Marcus does (food-wise) is pretty good. I'd buy these.
Am I the only one that finds these hair ties horrible for the hair?? I think they break them...
Nope, you’re not. I bought some, thinking they’d be better for my baby-fine hair. Nope! They tangled and tore at my hair worse than rubber bands.
Load More Replies...They look like bits of left-over telephone cords from old "dial" home phones...
I have so many of those. You can buy good ones for like 5 bucks.
FYI everyone. These are not hair ties. They are phone cords. What am I talking about? In the old days, when phones were all land lines, they all had TWO parts. One part you used to enter the number you were trying to reach. The other part was called the receiver, and you used it to both talk and listen. And what connected the two parts together? This spiral plastic coated cord, which has been painted into groovy colors above.
Takes me back to when there was an actual phone cord connecting the receiver (the part where you hear and talk) to the phone body (the part with all of the mechanics). I have had long curly hair since I was a teenager and my hair would get tangled up in this cord because my teenager self would be rolling all around while talking to my friends. It was quite painful! It's a hard pass for me on these.
I think the problem is that it is being sold as massage wand endued with "mystical magik properties" that smooth away facial tension.
Load More Replies...The only kind of wand I want is one that will reduce my enemies to ashes.
That's just a crystal. The description is silly but otherwise it's a normal item.
Oh gawd, I have a girlfriend who would totally buy this...I've lined my fish tank with all of the "crystals" and "magic stones" she's given me over the years.
Why it says "skin gym"? The only use for this at a gym would be to get someone to poke you with it when you start slowing down.
Those children must be tiny indeed of whatever the seating is, can also be used as a phone stand...
This is for that chair purse thing thats up top
Load More Replies...Same people who accidentally put their child in the pet carrier, the dog in the car seat?
This is for that chair purse thing thats up top
Load More Replies...Based on the review, I guess the hat is supposed to be some beauty product that makes your hair better??
You could have just headstand on your. couch and it would have the same effect...
And ugly leather shark hat on your hair apparently makes it healthy and glowing... Nah fam it just makes it frizzy
you misunderstood, it is for people with two left feet. (just kidding haha)
Load More Replies...knit snekers are thing and i love mine but these are platform socks
they are comfy tho I have the Speed Lts the Vibrams were hard to get on tho still comfy
Okay but why in the world is the hat $60?! Wait... I found a more expensive one Screenshot...af-png.jpg
Thats a normal price for a hat, Ball caps with sport logos go for 30-40, trilbys and actual fedoras go for 60 an up
Load More Replies...Ever have a "last straw" moment...I can't stand it when a model (see above) is standing this way which requires she subtly roll over on one foot which makes her look like she's bow-legged, too. Aaaarrrggghhhhhhh!
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!
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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...
