It’s frequently said that one man's trash is another man's treasure. However, in the case of selling used items, it can sometimes be the opposite - one man’s treasure can seem like trash to others. From duct tape shoes to quadruplet peanut and sauce packets, the things we want to sell don’t always appear buy-worthy to others.
Below, the Bored Panda team gathered some of the most ridiculous items people tried selling on Facebook Marketplace. Scroll down to discover them, but be warned that some of them might be impossible to unsee.

Expecting that people will try to sell all kinds of items, Facebook thought about it in advance and has put in place some guidelines on what can’t be listed on their marketplace. The first one is quite self-explanatory - non-physical items.
“For example, 'in search of’ posts, lost and found posts, jokes and news aren't allowed,” Facebook explains. Similarly, services like house cleaning also aren’t allowed on Facebook Marketplace.

I’m Sure This Meets All Maritime Regulations
Bob Brooce 8 months ago
Now I'm curious about Wisconsin's requirements for registering motorized boats. Not curious enough to ask Google or remember 2 or 3 days from now, but curious.

Idaho only requires registration for boats 16' and above.

Can confirm. This is a standard Wisconsin River craft. A friend had one with a platform built on top of several canoes, a motor, and a very important pirate flag in the middle. Oh, and a grill.

I live on a lake any we're allowed to have pontoon deck boats - which look like a floating dock but have a small motor. This looks like someone tried to DIY one of them.

It probably meets all the maritime regulations covering burial at sea.

Why would you look at this and assume this was an ice cream scoop anyway?
Other items that shouldn’t be sold on there entail animals or their products. “This includes posting about animals for adoption, except by vetted pet adoption matching services,” Facebook writes. Healthcare products like thermometers or first aid kits are out of the question as well - for everyone’s safety, of course.

We Banned Single Use Plastic Bags This Time Last Year

There's probably as many of these around as there are of the supposedly one True Cross
Shark Enthusiast. 7 months ago
Helena of Constantinople found the Cross by throwing someone in a dry well, and only letting him out once he told her where it is, I think that at that point, one would just have directed her to any wooden cross.

'The Last Plastic Bag' (if you forget about the millions of households with a bag drawer.)
Laura Lawson 8 months ago
This is from Brisbane so I'll let you in on the joke. In Queensland, Australia, 'single-use' plastic bags were banned from stores several years ago, so these types of bags disappeared from grocery stores & thus from our cupboards. They were originally replaced with stronger, multi-use plastic bags that you had to pay for. More recently, those bags have been replaced with the old type paper bags that we still have to pay for. Except these paper bags are shite & break constantly, especially in a state that is often damp in the wet season. Hence, this truly is the 'Last Bag' & it is a joke. I personally think the ban is a joke because although I am all for reducing plastics in society, I now have to buy plastic bags for the used kitty litter & the rubbish bin & all of the other things I used the grocery bags for. Which completely defeats the purpose of the ban.
PenguinEmp 8 months ago
Still don't understand how this is single use? You are able to use it more than one time. I have a cupboard of them. Great for poop bags, or regular shopping or just trash.

Just What I Wanted
What Facebook additionally doesn’t want to see on their Marketplace are any recalled products. Companies usually recall their goods because of defects that can pose or have safety risks for customers. “If you're unsure whether the item you're buying or selling has been recalled, look on the website of the item's manufacturer or relevant government entity. For example, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission or the EU Rapid Alert System for Dangerous Non-Food Products,” they recommend.

Load More Replies...Lastly, even though Facebook doesn’t mention it in their guidelines, you also can’t sell tobacco products, alcohol, drugs, sex toys, pirated software, and weapons on the marketplace. If someone violates these rules, their listing can be rejected or removed. In frequently reoccurring instances, the person could also get their access to Facebook (or all Meta-owned websites) terminated.

A Weird Marketplace Find
Dog Mom to Zoe 8 months ago
I was thinking for the dogs but agree the price is 'cack'.
Load More Replies... So, to ensure that your decluttering session or side hustle doesn’t get you removed from Facebook, it’s better to avoid listing all the previously mentioned items for sale. If you’re looking to earn some extra money in particular, it’s better to sell items that usually do well on Facebook Marketplace. According to Amasty.com, one of the best-performing things on there is furniture. These are great items to sell on Marketplace because they’re essential to every home, and when people want to redecorate, they often choose to do it at an affordable price.

This Is Not Being Sold By A Child, A Grown Adult Made These
Michael None 8 months ago
Kanye will be seen wearing these next week. His wife too but at his insistence she will only be wearing the shoes, nothing else.
Electronics also sell great because new ones can be very expensive, while gently used items can be much more affordable. The same goes for bicycles and sports equipment. They sell quickly as more and more people are looking into buying fitness equipment without the prices of a new one.

For sellers to receive even more sale opportunities, we’ll leave you with the advice of Willow Wright, owner of a unique vintage shop, Urban Redeux, on how to be successful on Facebook Marketplace: "Start with quality images and clear descriptions. Be realistic with your asking price and be ready to consider lower offers—negotiation is part of the game. Also, temper your expectations. Facebook Marketplace has become a major player in the reselling world, so there’s a lot of competition, especially in bigger cities."
