You know this button right here?
Have you ever wondered… who the hell clicks that?
I do. If you want to find the people who are bending the rules of what a platform is built for, you have to surf its margins.
So what lies at the margins of Etsy? I leave you, without comment, with some of the things that I found:
COMPLETE COLLECTION of paleontology 170 showcases
$48,841.95
Sale of a complete and authentic collection of paleontology. 55 years of research from all over the world. Careful! The collection is not splittable. For the entire exposable collection: Each fossil is identified and located all digitized on a USB key. Each showcase represents an occupied area of 1/2 m² and contains a minimum of 30 specimens per display case. The 'furniture' showcases of the exhibition and explanatory plates, will be delivered with the collections. I will follow up and help with the installation of a possible future museum.
Obviously the complete collection is not at 45 550 € it is the limit of ETSY !!!
This set is to negotiate a much higher price. Also does not take into account shipping costs

$42,620.56
Massive mystery box. You won't be disappointed. From the chance of a used or new car truck suv ect. Valuable collectibles, hard to find collectibles. Cool and interesting items. If you like trailer park boys, hockey, cars ect then you will like this mystery box.
Looking for Kittynaut? I'm on Strike.
$50,000.00
I've been on Etsy since 2009 when fees were low, and I've watched as the company grew into what it is now. Etsy could not have possibly existed without the talent and labor of its handmade sellers and vintage curators.
Today, it seems Etsy's priority is maximizing their own profits by raising fee after fee on artists, makers, and crafters, and allowing resellers to run rampant on the site which hurts us all (it's against Etsy's own terms of service, but they don't care because they make money off those sales as well). Meanwhile, Etsy's CEO gets a $9million "retention bonus" during a global pandemic? I've had enough.
It's not right, and we are making a stand for ourselves and each other. Etsy can continue to make quite a tidy profit and at the same time respect the sellers whom they make those profits from.
Alien Autopsy - Turn Key Escape Room Area 51
$49,900.00
According to the US Government, this particular research facility was said to be abandoned in the 1950's... but you know better. Your old man made sure of that - It was his curiosity that cost him his life when he got too close to the truth. According to the old man, the experiments being conducted here are enough to make your stomach turn inside out. Getting the exact coordinates wasn't easy, and the timeline is pretty tight. But, it's now or never... So take a deep breath. Get in. Get the proof. Get out alive!
Includes everything you need for this room. We build all the props and custom build all the scenic décor. Next, we drive to your location and install everything for you. The entire installation takes our team just a few days. You will be up and running in no time.
Elon Bucks — A Short Story for Charity
$57,274.72
This is a one-of-a-kind soon-to-be-true short story about how I got Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist, to buy a short story for $70,551 CAD. All the proceeds will go to 10 Canadian charities, to be determined by public Twitter poll(s) after the purchase has been made (follow @colemclade for updates).
I have always admired Elon, and I know he has made significant charitable donations in the past. But I would love to help make a difference across my native Canada by injecting charitable funds where they are so sorely needed.
This book will be written and printed to order, allowing me time to document the story of these events from first writing this listing to the eventual donations. I will even autograph the first page, and dedicate the book to the individual / organization or Elon's choosing.
Cryptocurrency built on the Algorand Blockchain and NFT
$50,000.00
You will reveive a cryptocurrency built on the Algorand Blockchain, A program to create cryptocurrency on the Algorand Blockchain and an NFT. The program will alow you to name your crpto token, Set the Total Supply and Set the dollar amount per token. You will also receive the name of a person on Fiverr to fix the Cryptocurrency and the NFT if there are problems. This person will also fix the program that creates the cryptocurrency if need be. Etsy says I have to include a physical item so I will have a person send you an art print of your NFT.
Bonus, the only other item from the same seller:
DEATH SPELL
$50.00
I have been practicing the dark arts for many decades and I am quite
proficient with death spells. This spell is for the death of 1 to 30 targets of your choice all for 1 price. All that I require from you is the name of the person or
the thing you wish to be destroyed. Please note that this will manifest within its own time. You will receive a pendant with which to make as many wishes as you desire as a free gift. The types of wishes you choose are up to you
so ask for anything. Etsy requires that I state that this listing is for entertainment
purposes only.
The Million Dollar Mission
$50,000.00
By choosing this amount it is a number that can be invested and used to self sustain the mission in mind, that being said Etsy does limit the price, so it's not quite accurate, but it is more catchy. The mission, should you chose to accept it, is an investment rather than an immediate reward. Of course you will receive a perfect, framed, photo to display, but this is much more.
Money is what makes the world move, yet it always seems to be scarce to those who need it the most. That's not me of course there are plenty of people in this world in much worse situations, this situation I'm in leads to them. My life mission is to create art and positivity in a world than seems to be getting more negative year after year. I create to inspire, entertain, and to teach lessons and ideas I've come to learn over time through my journey. My goals are to help others in any way I can, by having a startup fund to establish a film photography business, create a profitable marketing plan, and establish my brand of photography, I'll be able to pay for my life of minimalism and be able to travel to the places that need it most, like water in flint or housing in LA, the real problems our world seems to ignore, because those in charge do the same.
The investment comes from you being the founder of me, it's simply a finders fee for an unlimited supply of creative work fueling resources for a better world. Anyone can type anything and say anything, so it's hard to read a strangers story like this and immediately dive in full heart. If anyone is genuinely interested in this mission, then by all means reach out, talk to me, and I can talk to you about my plans for a better world, the creative drive that keeps me going, and maybe just talk about life.
Change the world with me, all you have to do is take the leap, and the world will be a better place for it.
Very Expensive Sweater
$15,435.00
Study under a Witch | Lifetime mentorship and guidance
$31,977.49
This listing is for a lifetime subscription of my teachings. I will take you under my wing and guide you down a path that will grant you with immense powers and abilities. I have made the decision to teach and share my gifts with a select few. There are limited spaces available for this mentorship programme. I will first have to perform a photographic reading so I can determine whether you have the potential gifts to be my student. If you don't possess the abilities and gifts necessary, I can't help you.
Erotic Bouncy Castle
$38,601.76
Inflatable figure is fully functional Bouncy Castle that resembles the look of a Marble Sculpture but appears to be soft and bouncy. Despite the vivid form of male and female genitals - the sculpture is made in very delicate manner.
This Inflatable Figure is a very bold statement but honest work of art. It was made to celebrate the Male and Female beginnings, and its erotic context can be related to absolutely everyone who views it. It leaves people in surprise and adults who jumps on it - experience innocent smile, which is also a very interesting paradox! Its also an immersive piece - as you can switch off the Air Blower and the Penis will start softly falling on peoples heads. Turn it on, and it all rises again in full glory!
