They say that anything can be sold, but is that really true? Reselling used equipment and goods online has become all the rage these days– like thrifting. Not only are you helping the environment by reducing landfill garbage, but you're also turning your neighbor's trash into your own personal treasure. But on Facebook Marketplace, folks take that "trash to treasure" reasoning a little too far. Opening up any local marketplace app is opening yourself up to the possibility of seeing some item or service for sale that you really would like to un-see. Ignorance is bliss and sometimes it's just better to not know that your neighbor is turning taxidermied toads into "cute leather purses" or that another person down the street is trying to pawn off a haunted mirror. But perhaps there is a buyer out there that's eager to bring these eclectic treasures into their home.

They know what they have– no lowball offers.
