30+ Bizarre thrift shop and marketplace finds: 'I felt it staring at me from across the thrift shop'

No matter how specific that item is you're looking for, someone out there in the world is selling it. Maybe you can find that one sweater you've been wanting online, but if it's old, you might have to dig deeper. Checking out thrift shops, vintage stores, and online marketplaces can give you some absolutely amazing choices of items to peruse. Not all of the things you can buy are objectively "good," and in fact, a lot of them are just awful. That won't stop sellers from trying to make a quick buck, though! If they've got a mini fridge covered in mystery food, they won't bother to clean that out before posting a photo and requesting money for it. (At least one seller who did that had the courtesy to just name their listing "No.")

Up next, read about the bosses who had to deal with the worst workers, like one manager who discovered that "[She was] sleeping on the job. She was a lifeguard. Fired on the spot."

This is genuinely impressive and deserves to be paid full price

via u/GiovanniPotage

It does take up a good amount of space and I bet it weighs a ton! But someone's got to keep building up the candle wax and keep this thing going for another 100 years.

Always very funny when people attach the wrong photo

via u/spiritualsarahh

…Unless this is just how the kitty feels about the bed, which is not a good advertising strategy.

If you've never seen "The Room," this is your sign to go watch it right now. If you have seen it, this is your sign to go rewatch it right now.
