Facebook Marketplace is a goldmine for interesting, useful, and sometimes downright absurd items. B.C. is no exception. Here are five of the most ridiculous finds currently listed in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland:
Price: $650
Location: Surrey
The seller describes this 1998 mirror as exuding an unsettling energy that no amount of cleansing can remove. Apparently, it offers a slimming, hypnotic reflection, and is said to feed on energy, leaving a feeling of being watched.
While we can't confirm the mirror’s supernatural powers, we can say that it's definitely a conversation starter for those into haunted décor.
Price: $1999
Location: Surrey
Remember the original art piece that sold for $6.24 million? Now for sale is an even more advanced version of this piece featuring an orange for the low price of $1999! This art, listed in Surrey, is described as “One of a kind” and “Best one ☝️”.
If you’re looking for some new home decor, you’ve come to the right place!
Price: $800
Location: Vancouver
It’s hard to even describe this one without raising a few eyebrows. For those who enjoy the wild side of furniture, this lion’s balls coffee table is as ridiculous as it is creative. The base is sculpted to resemble a lion, legs spread and testicles out - holding up a glass top.
It's certainly an unconventional choice for your living room, but who knows—maybe it’s the perfect statement piece for a bold, animal-themed décor.
Price: $10,000
Location: Maple Ridge
Do you have $10,000 burning a hole in your pocket? If so, you might want to consider buying the last bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup on Earth. According to the listing, this bottle is the “one bottle left” after the brand rebranded to Pearl Milling Company.
While this might be a bit of a stretch, maybe they’re right. Maybe it’s your golden ticket to syrup immortality.
Price: $1
Location: Victoria
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to buy a used Blackberry Quencher from Tim Hortons, now’s your chance! In the description, the seller mentions “Use ice, purchase today otherwise no ice”.
Listed for $1, this could be your only chance to purchase a vintage (or some may call used) Tim Hortons original beverage. Who could resist!
Facebook Marketplace in Vancouver is full of wild and weird listings, and the items above are just a few examples of the oddities you can find with a little digging. Whether you’re looking for a haunted mirror, a sexual lion coffee table, or an overpriced bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup, Vancouver’s Facebook Marketplace has got you covered.
Who knows? Maybe the next ridiculous find will be yours to uncover!
