the most unhinged and amazing things we bought on facebook marketplace this week

[@user-ou4yt9qf8e]

whoever thought of “from the workshop floor” is a genius. I love all the team but i don’t really do DIY like that. It’s the personality of each person here that makes me stay. And seeing all that personality in one video? Amazing.

[@tulipuu]

Please never stop making this series. I LOVE it!!!!! And what a sweet thing of Rochelle to get the potato (and customize it) for Anne; I teared up!!

[@kylebannon7582]

Love from the workshop floor. “Burl” is actually an infection in the tree that causes it to make that bulb like shape. It can happen in any type of tree I think

[@amylamb1527]

Yes! Here to say the same thing.

Maybe it's just me but my mind was in the gutter when I saw the shape of it.

Came here to explain burl too

[@meganmacdonald9537]

Okay not as a buyer, but as a seller! I had this absolutely bonkers lady arrange to pick up something from my mom. She’s not very tech savvy, so I’m her dedicated Marketplace co-ordinator, but in being the point of contact, I’m not always home when someone is picking up. Our address for whatever reason, was literally the Bermuda Triangle, no one ever could find our house. So this woman texts like, “Hi, I’m here, but no one’s home and your dog is barking at the door.” I very calmly and politely explain, “Oh you must be at the wrong house, we don’t own a dog. Our address is … you’re probably at the townhouses across the street, they have similar numbers.” She dead ass with her whole chest replies, “No, I’m at the correct address, you do have a dog, it’s barking at me.” MA’AM. The audacity to think you know more about a person than said person.

[@chloemorrison2343]

Potential name ideas could be "Face to Face" because it's a competition. Or "Two-faced Marketplace" because you guys need to trick each other but also because people on marketplace can be trolls haha. Loving this series!

ALL CROCHET IS MADE BY HAND!! There are only little machines that can make scarves, but other than that EVERYTHING has to be hand made because no one's made a machine that can crochet better than a person

[@WiggleIsWiggly]

Yes! So never ever buy super cheap crochet stuff unless it’s secondhand because otherwise you know for certain you’re contributing to exploiting workers in bad conditions 😢

[@EmilyExplosion27]

Came to the comments to say this. All crochet is hand-crochet.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

Yes, however, there is a lot of stuff that is actually machine embroidery that kind of looks like crochet, that is sold like crochet. It isn't crochet, but because it is made with either thick cotton thread or cotton lookalike and mimics the stitches many people will call it crochet (including the manufacturers). I don't know enough about crochet to be able to tell whether something is a legit stitch or not, so I wouldn't be able to distinguish them at a glance. Often there will be a bobbin thread as well as the thicker thread.

[@thepandadiaries]

finding out Rachael is/was an actor really surprised me! But it also makes perfect sense ✨

[@crimedelacreeme]

I saw her in a pub once on Instagram! I was so surprised!

[@Gelime_]

So little info on Burl, it's not a type of tree, technically any tree can form burl, but burl wood is formed when a tree develops a mutation, usually from an outside stressor like an infection or injury. In response to the stress, the tree’s grains grow in a different way than the rest of the trunk, forming a growth, twisting and interlocking with itself, and forming the swirls its known for

[@Cher1296]

that stained glass book lamp is not handmade, it’s on my local marketplace and you can tell it’s drop shipped because you only see 1 angle of the lamp always

[@sarahwenger4479]

Yeah I was thinking it looks like a stock listing photo for Ali Express or something

[@nikkikenny1165]

I was looking for this comment. I know I've seen it all over Kijiji, market place, Etsy, temu adds

[@emilyflavell1658]

What's the bet that it's a stolen design?

[@peggy4846]

I've also seen it on my fb marketplace in Australia so definitely either stolen or drop ship.

[@jw8223]

It’s on Amazon, Walmart, home depot, bed bath and beyond, aliexpress, etc. and it’s always the same photo or very similar photos. I don’t know who originally made it, but it’s about $140 at Home Depot, $90 at BB&B, and about $20 everywhere else….

[@jvernsings]

I almost choked on my breakfast when I read Anne's mug. That's hilarious!

[@lynk6913]

anne's thing for potatos is hilarious and so iconic no choice but to stan hahahah

[@juliaowens4566]

17:49 I see this scam all the time!! It’s always so disappointing because I get excited about the pieces 😭 the easiest way to tell if it’s a scam: 1) if the price is too good to be true 2) if the seller’s FB profile was created in 2024 and/or 3) if the description says they’re getting rid of it because they’re “downsizing” (most common) or they go into a lot of detail about how long they’ve had it and why they’re getting rid of it. Like Anne said, reverse image search is your friend!!! That’s how I find them - usually a Craigslist listing from four states away will pop up with the exact same pictures 😂 just keep reporting them every time you see them!

[@hannahfountain4635]

The IKEA Art Event happens I think every year and the items are sold in most stores! They are usually pretty weird pieces but there’s usually one or two stand out pieces.

In theme with the garnish book. When I was a bartender in my early 20s I had a few bouncers from Tokelau (they were all family). On my 21st birthday the mum brought into work the most beautifully detailed carved watermelon. Flowers and leaves. It was gorgeous. She poured inside a watermelon coconut drink called otai. It was amazing. Honestly google Tokelau Otai and watermelon carving.... just beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤ will never forget.

[@saramerrick6841]

I know someone has already commented, but burl is not a kind of tree, it's the growth of wood on any tree. It's calloused by some sort of infection that causes the wood to create a growth, but because it's still wood it creates really interesting grain patterns. Usually you see burl pieces that are round (think coffee table) because the growths are more spherical in shape. They're also commonly used to create veneers. I would highly recommend taking a furniture history class if you can (Rochelle) where you can learn more context for your woodworking interests!

[@jeleighfish]

So at 21:00 y’all were talking about landlines working with cell phones and they can in a way but not the way that I would love to make that old lips phone work. At our office, I can transfer the phone lines to my cell phone if I don’t want to work at the office that day and let’s says obviously the dr is out. I think a lot of people forget about landlines being a thing so thank you for bringing these lips into the picture. My sister had that EXACT one in her room and my other sister had that completely clear acrylic one. Such good memories.

I had the clear one! You could see all the inside parts and they were all colorful. Such a distinct memory.

[@ERYN__]

I DIYd ceiling fan pulls, from my own imagination, but I finished it, and it looked like $80 CB2. I did think, but how much did that actually cost in materials? And it was $25, but I know you could get the price lower if you didn't buy supplies online, but I'm fairly house bound. I added about 18 inches of ball chain so I could reach, and used large geometric wooden beads to hide the chain segments. They gently sway with the breeze, and I love it.

Love the series! My marketplace story: i needed a new dresser, ans found a beautiful vintage set of dressers in a city abour 3 hours drive away. Unfortunately i only have a small vehicle, so I needed to find someone with a truck i could borrow. I kept in touch with the seller, let them know i was 100% willing to buy them provided i could get transportation, and finally got everything organized so i could come pick up the items, and then they ghosted me, and marked the listing aa pending. I was so disappointed! Anyway, I ended up finding a different dresser much closer to me, and it fit into my small car, so i guess it ended alright.

[@meganwhitscell3810]

Fun fact: Burl is not a species of tree but rather a deformity. It can happen from a variety if reasons (genetic, bug infestation, environmental) and there's typically no way to know if a tree is burl for sure without cutting it open. That's why any burl deformed wood is so expensive because it is extremely rare and can't be replicated!

Anne's eggplant vase is so iconic 😭😭

[@vernieplummer5148]

I’ve got to correct you guys because you’re cracking me up lol. Burl is not a species of tree. Burl is the type of wood where there has been a branch off of a main trunk and this causes the pattern of the wood to be all curly and strange. There are also certain insects that eat certain species of tree or lay eggs in them, and it causes the wood to do this as well.

[@vernieplummer5148]

As a person who does a lot of crochet, there are two ways this could be made. Either there is something in the middle like a cushion, so you just have to crochet little circles around it to cause it to look like layers in the burger, or else each one is individual like a small blanket that’s circular.
