You’ve most likely read stories of people auctioning off strange items on eBay. Well eBay isn’t the only place where strange things are sold online.
Recently a fawn named Bella was rescued in Nova Scotia after someone tried to sell her illegally for $300 in a Kijiji online classified ad.
You can read the full story at “Deer for sale on Kijiji rescued.”
I once saw an artificial leg being sold via Kijiji classifieds. I emailed the person selling the leg and told them they should donate the artificial limb to War Amps.
A woman emailed me back, telling me that she buys items and then resells them.
(So she purchased someones artificial leg and was now reselling the leg on Kijiji.)
A few months back I was browsing Kijiji and there was a guy who was trying to get his bikini lawn care service off the ground. (I thought he was crazy, but apparently there is a lawn care company in the US offering Bikini lawn care.)
In the greater Toronto area, someone is selling a “We Vibe Personnel Massager” via Kijiji. ( I hope it wasn’t previously used.)
Someone in Halifax is looking to purchase a coffin via Kijiji. ( I thought it was a joke, but according to the ad it’s not.)
What’s the strangest thing you’ve seen for sale on a classified website?

A coffin new or used, eh? Used? Geez. Maybe like a display model with a nick or two out of it?
Thanks for the laugh! 🙂

oo nice opportunistic blog plug tweet, like it! 😉
Can’t think of anything to top these off hand, but will keep it in mind! Jools
What constantly amazes me is the auctions for bits of celebrity trivia (Lennon’s glasses, Monroe’s stockings etc) which sell for sky-high sums. And what sort of person lovingly strokes Monroe’s stockings every day? Nowt so queer as folk.
I have never even heard of Kijiji . I guess I should check it out.
That massager looks like a pair of headphones. But i’m gathering its purpose isn’t to massage the ears 🙂

No, the purpose of this device that resembles headphones is not to massage ones ears.
Can’t believe it took me this long to find this post!
As a connoisseur of strange Kijiji ads, I think you’d enjoy the funniest and worst Kijiji ads around at YouSuckatKijiji.com. Swing by and let me know if anything there tickles your funny bone. Thanks for a laugh, Rose!
