Everybody has something to sell. That’s one of the many truisms of modern life, and of life in any historical era. With the internet, the weirdest of the marketplace can now come directly to you. Everything you want, didn’t yet know you want, or never would’ve wanted at all is dazzlingly, spectacularly available. The weirdest, wackiest and most depraved items in the world are only a keystroke or a finger swipe away from you at all times.

These advertisements posted by strangers on platforms such as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are for things that definitely have value for somebody out there, although that value may be difficult to understand. These one-of-a-kind products won’t be found in your local department or grocery store, but they can be found over on Reddit’s /r/CrackheadCraigslist. Take a look at some things you definitely shouldn't buy that are actually for sale.
