The OfferUp 8: Wacky Things for Sale on OfferUp This Week (6/5/23)

OfferUp app opened on a tablet, showcasing numerous different items for sale to the left, with text reading 'OfferUp   Buy.Sell.Simple.'
Google Play

OfferUp is the Wild West. If you’re a user, you already know the unhinged sales going on inside this app, and if you’ve never perused the site, you couldn’t possibly imagine. I live in North Carolina, where OfferUp is constantly popping off with all kinds of nonsense, and I just need to share ‘em with the world. Here are eight of the oddest items I saw this week.

Little Live Pets Gotta Go Turtle
Cheapism/OfferUp

The Gotta Go Turtle

Yes, this turtle does in fact go, in case you’re wondering.

Macho Man Slim Jim
Cheapism/OfferUp

This Randy Savage Slim Jim Display

Only $200? Pfft, double it. This thing is art.

Top Hat-Shaped Floor Lamp
Cheapism/OfferUp

This Top Hat-Shaped Floor Lamp

$220? Practically givin’ it away at that price.

Bottle of Pepsi with the Preamble of the Constitution
Cheapism/OfferUp

Novelty Pepsi

That soda in the background? Couldn’t find it for sale on this person’s profile. Don’t even THINK about asking for that soda because it is NOT for sale.

Laughably 'New' Laptop
Cheapism/OfferUp

This Very Broken Laptop

Not only does the title of this product say “straight out of the box,” it also says “never used” in the description. Something about it looks like it’s been used before, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Jerusalem Artichokes
Cheapism/OfferUp

Sunchokes of an Indeterminate Number

Everything about this reeks of murder.

Jetson Remix Light-Up Hoverboard/Go-Kart Combo
Cheapism/OfferUp

A Hoverboard-Go-Kart Combo

As soon as I took a screenshot of this image, I was bombarded with ads for these things. So, maybe they’re not as uncommon as I thought.

'I'd Rather Be a Mermaid' Wall Art
Cheapism/OfferUp

Tasteful Mermaid Decor

This was definitely purchased for some seaside, overpriced Airbnb, right?
