People who sell things online know the importance of taking a good photo of the item they are trying to sell. Whether it’s a clothing piece or a used bed mattress, presentation matters and is likely to increase the chance of purchase. But don’t worry, you don’t need to have a degree in photography or own an expensive DSRL to take a good photo. Ensure that the lighting is good (natural light is ideal), the camera lens is clean, and there are no distractions in the background (plain background is key).
But enough with that, you are not here for the photography advice (but you’re welcome). If you have ever tried selling a mirror, you probably know that it’s not the most convenient item to take a shot of. Unless you are trying to take a new selfie for the gram and sell the mirror all at once. Well, some people were definitely not trying to take a new profile picture but sell their mirrors instead. And the most comedic attempts are featured on the Mirrors for sale subreddit.
In an online community of over 171K “peepers,” Redditors share the most hilarious cases where mirror sellers came up with uproarious ways to ‘conceal’ their identities when taking a mirror picture. Whether that’s a failed shot or an ingenious attempt at marketing, decide for yourself.
Scroll down for the funniest and most creative ads for mirrors found on the Facebook marketplace and other places online:
