Whatever magic Mr. Zuckerberg has bottled, he has put on his SPF 157 and sprinkled that fairy dust all over Lansing’s Facebook Marketplace. Our crack research team has put together “The Best of the Best” of Mid Michigan’s social media swap meat entries.

PSA: If you’re scrolling through this story at work and you want to look busy:

1. Stare at your computer as if now everything is suddenly in German.
2. Scroll and occasionally nod or tilt your head.
3. Occasionally, maybe once or twice, sigh loud enough (but not too loud) so that people around you thing you’re knee deep in a problem and wont' bother you.
4. Now enjoy some of Mid Michigan's finest attempts to sell “one man’s treasure” on Facebook Marketplace.

Buy These, Put Them in Your Best Friends House and Say NOTHING

The seller, Tag McLogan, is selling this as part of an estate sale. I see these as something to hide in a co-workers office or your best friends trunk. Should be good for a laugh and you can play goose tag.

That's Not What You Think It Is

Seller Jennifer Jones might want to look at some different angles on this shot:

NATIVE AMERICAN ROOT CLUB. Beautiful patina. Very old. 20" long. FIRM. Charlotte, MI pickup. Cash.
