The challenge with selling mirrors on online marketplaces is posting a picture of the mirror while trying to hide your reflection.
Unlike the good old days when reselling involved thrift stores and physical displays of the products, online marketplaces have made it easier for people to sell their used stuff with just a single click. All they need is a clear picture of the product that convinces the customers of its quality and the rest is taken care of by the digital platforms. Be it used furniture, toys, clothes or electronics, selling them has now become a cakewalk as long as the seller markets them the right way.
So when it comes to selling mirrors online, one has to watch out for their own reflection on the picture of the mirror they're about to post. Turns out that there are many out there making desperate attempts to avoid capturing their reflection and it's absolutely hilarious.
