Between the mid-century cabinets and the framed wall art, one Facebook Marketplace listing stopped a scroller dead: “LEM Toy. $70,” marked down from $75. Just listed. Nearby.
1. The description did not help.
Per the listing, the device was “very gently used,” cleaned after every use, and the seller was hoping to “rehome” it, phrasing usually reserved for golden retrievers. When the person who found it messaged to confirm what exactly was for sale, they were told several other buyers were already interested.
Several. Other. Buyers.
2. Her reason for selling is the actual headline.
“Only selling because I upgraded to the Avo!” It’s right there in the listing. This woman loved her Lem so much that she moved up Nancy’s product line and immediately tried to recoup $70 on the starter model, like it was a leased Honda.
3. The comments split between horror and respect.
4. The takeaway, for the record.
We are legally, morally, and spiritually obligated to say it: this is a category of item you buy new. A brand-new Avo, the exact “upgrade” the seller was talking about, is $99 with free shipping, plain packaging, and a 30-day guarantee, and nobody else has ever cleaned it after every use. The used one was $70. The math is not hard.
The Avo she upgraded to, for context, holds a 4.8-star rating across 1,073 verified reviews:
