The Most Bizarre Things People Are Actually Selling on Facebook Marketplace

A Ziploc Bag of Random Buttons

Not sewing buttons. Not shirt buttons. Just buttons. Plastic buttons, metal buttons, broken buttons, buttons that may have come from a television remote. The seller asks for three dollars and offers no explanation. The photo shows the buttons dumped onto a paper towel. The description contains a single word: "Buttons."

Expired Coupons from 2017

A stack of forty-seven expired coupons from grocery stores that may no longer exist. The seller acknowledges they are worthless but argues: "Good for scrapbooking or time capsules." The price is five dollars plus shipping. One coupon offers twenty-five cents off a brand of canned vegetables discontinued in 2019.

A Jar of "Florida Rainwater"

The seller claims the water was collected during a specific hurricane three years ago. The jar looks like a rinsed pasta sauce jar. The water is slightly brown. The description reads: "Not for drinking. Not for plants. Just for having." The seller has posted this listing seven times over two years. Each time, it expires without a sale. Each time, they repost it.

Half of a Broken Skateboard

Not a complete skateboard. Not a usable deck. Just the front half, snapped clean in half, with one remaining truck still attached. The seller writes: "Wall art. Conversation starter. Or finish breaking it yourself." The asking price is twenty dollars. A commenter offers five. The seller replies: "I know what I have."
