Facebook marketplace often throws up some rather unsavoury listings – none more so than a new offering which left some shoppers disgusted.
Taking to Reddit, a user shared a snap of the item described by the hopeful vendor as a ‘lightly used Five Guys burger’. Priced at $5, it appeared half of the burger had already been scoffed and left in the tin foil it was originally sold in.
Commenting in the Weird subreddit, the shopper penned: “I was looking for a couch on Facebook Marketplace today and THIS popped up”
One Reddit user responded: “I’m sick and this made me laugh thank you!” Another declared: “Seems like a deal.”
A third quipped: “Come on, be adventurous!” While a fourth laughed on the seller’s behalf: “No low ballers, I know what I have.”
Facebook Marketplace attracts over a billion shoppers every month, offering a range of products from televisions to cars.
However, alongside genuine bargain hunters, there are also fraudsters looking to deceive people, reports Wales Online.
A spokesperson for the social media giant advises: “Double-check deals that seem too good to be true. Scammers may try to use under-priced items to lure buyers into a scam.
