Finding a genuine gem hidden deep among open-air and online markets is one of life's greatest joys. Of course, I'm not talking about actual gold. A good lava lamp, for example, can occasionally make you feel happier for the rest of the week.
The expert thrift hunter and reseller, as well as the creator of the Instagram page "Ridiculous Thrifter," which features the wonderful, odd, and outrageously overpriced items found at secondhand locations from Facebook Marketplace to secondhand stores and charity shops, Fowlow, shared some great advice if you're still new to online marketplace shopping.
Fowlow advises that you should first prepare yourself for weird and challenging characters and not be shocked if someone truly wastes your time. For instance, you might go a significant distance to a person's home to make a purchase at the agreed-upon time and price, only to discover that they had already sold the item to someone else without telling you.
Online markets are infamous for the quantity of dubious items that are put up for sale every hour. They might be humorous to bizarre, spooky to nauseating, but pictures speak louder than words.
