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 best items I saw this week.

What puzzles me most about the entire thing is the idea of a 15-piece set. That feels larger than most Christmas tree ornament sets. Will there even be any room left on the tree by the time you’re done hanging these?

A Funsicle Activity Pool

This thing is not even three feet high. $300 feels fully insane.

It just says phone deals. I hope it’s for that poster. I’d love to hang a Spanish iPhone 11 advertisement in my house.
