As you return home, your mom screams at you while she is doing spring cleaning, “Ah boy ah, you bought so many caps last time. You only have one head, what are you going to do with all these caps?!” The nagging continues for another 5 mins until inspiration strikes.
“Mom, I can sell it on Carousell! I just have to take a picture and upload it online” you say.

While it is true that you can score some useful items at a bargain, you may also be surprised by some of the strange items on sale.

Weirdness on sale: Strange items/Antiques on Carousell

With this roll of toilet paper, everyone will have the chance to get to know President Elect Donald Trump “at a deeper/intimate level”. We say buy this if Trump bashing is your thing.
2. Boyfriend ($0)
This is certainly one human item that left us speechless. At $0, this item is waiting for the right girl to take it off the shelf.

Calls people for a living. Note not a telemarketer. All A student. Potential class 3A driver. No, this is not a sale but a matchmaking. Disclaimer: no refunds. Missing gall bladder.”
Apart from the aforementioned item, the seller also has two more $0 boyfriend listings for you to check out. While stocks last.
3. Breast enlargement pump with twin flanged cups for superior suction/electric air pump machine ($59.99)
Seller’s description: “Breast PUMP can strengthen and tighten the muscles that control the look of the breast and dramatically increase breast size and form by promoting the growth of the tissue.

Compact design makes Breast PUMP easy to enjoy a pulsating massage anywhere, anytime, at a great affordable price. The Best Breast PUMP paired with a great cause.”
Most women dream of having an ideal figure but despite all the benefits that the seller proffers, the contraption still looks very frightening to us.
4. NTUC bonus points ($5)
Seller’s description: “Selling 10 bonus points for 5$, postage included. Use the points to get hefty discounts on Phillips appliances such as toaster, blender, kettle, air fryer.”
Know someone who has sworn his/her allegiance to NTUC for the rest of his/her life? This will be the best gift for him/her.
5. Vintage GV Minions Movie Ticket ($10)
Seller’s description: “VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE”
The Minions movie was shown one year ago so we were scratching our heads when we saw the label “vintage”. In any case, we can all start selling our used movie tickets. Lelong lelong, anyone wants to buy from us?
6. Outdoor Portable Female Urinal Device ($13)
Seller’s description: “[X’mas Promo – 2pcs in 1 box Deal] A female urination device (also called FUD) that allows you to urinate while standing up. Ideal for camping, hiking or places where there are no proper toilet facilities or have poor and disgusting sanitation. Discreet, hygienic and flexible. Made of medical grade silicone. Just lower your panty and put the FUD against your body forming a seal, aim and pee. Dispose of it after use or clean and reuse as you like. Practice a time or two and you’ll pee like the men!”
When we first read this, our eyes popped!
This could be a #life-saver when you go camping or when there’s a crazy long queue outside the ladies. And of course, if you want to learn how to pee like a man – like what the seller said.
7. A packet of water lettuce
Seller’s description: “I have a big bag of water plants to let go. There are no snail or any pest that come with the plant. As I put in my organic water plant fertilizer and these plants just overgrown, so selling to allow my fishes to breath better !”
This is certainly one strange listing. According to the seller’s disclaimer, the seller is also not quite sure if these plants are really water lettuce, so buy at your own risk.
8. Rainbow slime ($3)
Seller’s description: “VV PRETTY ISTG”
This reminded us of the play-doh that we used to play with when we were young.
Seller obviously needs to work harder on the rainbow, because real rainbow slimes look like that:
Nonetheless, the price is cheap – $3 a piece so if you are adventurous, you can chat with the seller to find out more.
9. Victoria’s Secret paper bag with tissue ($2)
This listing gives all the shopaholics hope to recoup their losses from crazy shopping sprees.
Seller’s description: “Small size from VS”
After you buy, buy, buy, you can stem the bleed of your wallet by trying to sell your paper bags.
10. Old Brass Spittoon/chamber pot ($125)
Seller’s description: “Diameter 22cm. Ht20”
Alas, we have saved the best for the last. This is the highest priced item on our list and it sure is a heavyweight.
A look at the seller’s items shows that he/she specialises in vintage products.
However, there is no indication of how old this spittoon is and we don’t dare to imagine how many people have used it.
We hope this list of strange items people sell on Carousell will inspire you. When you have something you don’t need, you know where to sell them.
