The OfferUp 8: Weird Things I Saw On the Mobile Marketplace This Week (5/30/23)

OfferUp is a terrific way to get rid of junk; this we know. But “one man’s trash,” ya know? The people in my radius here in North Carolina are always selling something nuts, and I’ll never get enough of looking at it. Here’s your semi-weekly edition of the OfferUp 8.

Chicken … Empanadas?

I’m not proud of the fact that this is where my mind goes, but my first thought here was that this seems like a good way to trick people into eating a meat that definitely isn’t chicken. If you eat these and find yourself in a situation where nothing else satisfies your hunger … call the authorities.

Bottles and Crates

Also, $16 for shipping? For all that? Something about this seems not right.

This Old Oil Barrel

This thing is straight out of a Simon Stålenhag painting.

A Very Not-Scary Clown Painting

If I was headed toward a door, and this was anywhere near that door, I would not open that door.

Collectible Ceramic Clowns

Another day, another clown to sell.

Spider Spray Toy

Is this the Halloween edition? Lots of terrifying stuff this week.

Wood Shed

How are you planning on getting this back to your place, anyway?

A Single, Lone Taki

Needless to say, this person spelled it “Talkie.”
