The subreddit “Delusional Facebook” is one hidden Reddit gem that documents all the craziness sold on online marketplaces. Created on June 16, 2017, the community features “anything on the Facebook Marketplace that is definitely not worth the money they're asking.” With 2.2k active members, it's still growing, but the chances are it will be expanding way more.
To find out more about the community, Bored Panda reached out to its creator and moderator GrundleZipper who said that the idea to create the “Delusional Facebook” subreddit started from “one delusional Craigslist sub.”
“I noticed that there were a lot of Facebook marketplace posts there, and so Delusional Facebook was born. It's slowly grown over the years, I haven't done a lot to promote it but we're over 2k members now,” the creator told us.
When asked why, in the Redditor’s opinion, people sell so much questionable stuff on online marketplaces, GrundleZipper told us: “A lot of it comes from people having no idea what things are actually worth. Just because you think it's worth something doesn't mean that it actually is.”
“Probably the strangest thing I saw was someone trying to sell 'vintage' bricks for the price of new bricks,” the creator of the subreddit recounted. As if that wasn’t enough, the buyer of the bricks would have to come and take them down. “Really, I think they were just looking to get a project done for free.”
GrundleZipper told us that as far as the future, they will be continuing working on moderating the subreddit and “if it blows up, that would be amazing!” The Redditor added: “I'd probably expand my moderation team, and if not, it'll just be my little niche subreddit that makes me laugh.”
