$10 Starbucks Gift Card for…$15? – The Worst and Weird of Evansville B/S/T

This week was a goldmine of weird!

You know how this works: I go through various Facebook selling groups and find the weirdest stuff people are selling. Then I make jokes that I can definitely build a career around and retire early. This week's edition might be my favorite because the item I "worsted" was an amazing trainwreck. Let's do this!

Weird: A S*** Ton of Elvis Pictures

Do you have an empty wall in your house that could be accented nicely with an insane amount of Elvis photos but don't have the time to buy them individually? This is the lot for you! You get 25 items total that can be used to let everyone know you are thirsty for the King. I do appreciate that the seller framed the photos and a lot of the photos are nice. So nice, in fact, you might be able to trick millenials (who don't know who Elvis is) into thinking you have a super handsome, hip-shakin' lover. The only downside is the clock which only displays the time as "DRUGS!" (I assume).

Weird: This Computer Literate Dog

First off, I'm not a complete monster: This dog is hella cute and deserves a good home. However, I am more impressed that this dog was able to type and post his own B/S/T listing. I was going to make jokes about the punctuation but, seeing as how it was written in first person BY A DOG, I'm still incredibly impressed. I have no idea if the owner knows their dog might be a genius and might want to rethink giving him away. But seriously, dog is cute.

WORST: $10 Starbucks Gift Card for $15

Yes, this is real. Someone was trying to sell a gift card valued at $10 for $5 more. At first, I thought it may have been a typo so I inquired if I had misread something. Surely someone wasn't trying to get an extra $5 more for a gift card, right? RIGHT? Well, prepare to lose faith in everything as this was the 100% real response:

Its..just...like...paying $5?

I'm in radio so my math skills aren't great, but that doesn't seem to add up. Yes, I get that the struggle is sometimes real. When I was on a stand-up tour a few years ago, my fellow comedian and I made a pizza we ordered in KY last for 4 days across 5 states (And thus the Legend of Car Pizza was born). But to try to sell something that has an inherit value stated on it for any extra is just insanity.  To be fair, the seller did clarify "Or Best Offer." I think I really should've offered $20 just to make sure nobody else snatched up this great deal.
