Five Things You Can Get For $5
You might have heard of fiverr.com. It’s a website where you can sell or buy pretty much anything for $5. Simple enough. The offers range from coding help to songwriting, and if you can’t find what you want you can suggest stuff too. Apart from few reports of it being unfair and dangerous, it seems pretty cool, right? But before you head over there for a Personalized Postcards spending spree, you might want to check out some of the hidden gems found in between. Here are five of the best deals around.
Divine Intervention
When bible dipping just isn’t enough! This seems like the perfect solution to the whole ‘unreachable’ thing God’s had going on these past few years. All your questions answered! All your prayers heard! Find out once and for all if God hates you, or just really doesn’t care about you! Just don’t mention the gays or the Muslims, or God will hang up and you will go to hell.
Comedy Gold
This one’s pretty good, but only if I get to coordinate the “nerd” outfit specifically. None of that “geek chic” crap, I want authentic nerdish finery. The actual glasses Kirk Alyn wore in the first Superman movie. Vintage argyle socks, with sandals that smell a bit funny. A comb-over big enough to shift your centre of gravity. Your dad’s tie. Get it done, kid, or you ain’t seeing one cent.
The Beauty of Nature
This one might leave you feeling a little confused, so here’s the explanation from the seller himself: “the beauty of nature, mother earth... no humans is capable to recreate its most delicate movements... NOT! With a milenar [millionaire?] method, me, and only me (don't accept others) can act, exactly as a swan (and other birds and some reptiles). Fell as you was in a lake rounded by swans with a 25 seconds film, stared by me.” Fiverr: where you pay real money for movies starring ‘milenars’ capable of recreating the delicate movements of birds and some reptiles.
Some Guy’s Toe
So you need some cash and all you’ve got is a camera and an internet connection. What’s the best way to make money out of that? I know, take a photo of your big toe and sell it online like anyone actually gives a shit.
Eddie
No, Eddie isn’t his dick. Worse. It’s his cat. That’s right, this guy is trying to get people to actually pay actual money for dumb pictures of his cat.
This is where we come to the real problem with fiverr.com – for every service offered you can find it somewhere else for free. If you want a picture of a cat, you can get yourself a picture of a cat. No extra charge. And if you want a video of a crazy dude jumping around in a lake…Well I don’t really know why that’s necessary, but sure, it’ll be on Youtube in an hour.
