Let's look at how Anna is faring on Facebook Marketplace lately, shall we?
Someone purchased 5 pairs of Forever 21 leggings from Anna:

Now, you can buy 5 pairs of these leggings for $30 new at full price, secure in the knowledge that these clothes have never rubbed against Anna's abdominal wound. But wait! Using current available discounts, the same leggings can be had new from the manufacturer for $3.54 apiece, or $17.70 for 5 pairs.

My experience with Forever 21 leggings is that they quickly start to look ratty and fall apart from ordinary use and wear - a bad deal at any price!
A real-life acquaintance of Anna's bought her used hiking sandals for $25:

This was a good deal; the same style of shoes in the same condition routinely lists and sells for $45-$65:

Nobody has purchased Anna's open and partially used canisters of supplement powder for $10:

Contrary to Anna's assertion, this product is not necessarily "super expensive" - and never mind that Anna apparently received them for free as part of an influencer marketing campaign. You can buy a canister for around $12 on many sites, and with minimal effort, I found a vendor that lets you stack that sale price with a buy-one-get-one free deal and free shipping for first time customers:

Anna is also selling two sealed, unopened jars of Vitamin D supplement for $10. She does not indicate their expiration date; recall, she has been known to try selling expired product before:

For just 22 cents more, you can buy the same amount of the same product new, with complete confidence that it will not expire until February 2022:

Anna is trying to sell a new-with-tags pair of compression tights for $20. She can't wear them herself, you see, because they rub on her wound:

You can buy these tights brand-new for $18.69, secure in the knowledge that they have never rubbed on Anna's wound:

Someone bought a used workout top for $10:

This seems fair; the same top in similar condition seems to list and sell for $7-$12 secondhand. You can find the same brand of top on clearance in Kohls stores for $1.85 right now, but not with the same print:

Anna is trying to sell an old Juiceman Jr. juicer for $20:
View attachment 1072396
This is a weird one, because the juicer itself does not seem to sell at any price:
View attachment 1072411
However, some of its individual parts list and sell for $7-$18 before shipping. Someone could buy Anna's juicer, break it down, and sell the parts for about 3 times what they paid. Whether it is worth anyone's time to do so is an open question.
Anna is trying to sell a "barely used" steamer for $15:
View attachment 1072398
Like the juicer, this steamer/rice cooker is an old model that has not been manufactured in at least a decade, and although you can find it listed in many places it does not seem to sell at any price:

Anna lists this "barely used" tilt table twice, for $100:

You can buy the same item new for $119, with free delivery:

Keno's dog crate is listed for $75, in "good" condition. As is familiar to anyone who shops secondhand items online, "good condition" usually means "used to death and beat to all hell."

You can buy the same crate, new, for $100 with free delivery:

And finally, some poor fool actually bought Anna's personal sauna for $75:
View attachment 1072400
You can buy a new one for $89.99 with free delivery that nobody's ever steamed a poop bag inside:

It looks like many of these large, bulky items are being sold and removed from Mama Ginger's garage. They are pictured alongside labeled cardboard boxes that appear to have gone untouched since Anna's parents moved her out of the apartment several years ago. (You can see one of these same boxes in the background of
the moving-day picture with the "wallamalla cake," for example.) It is possible that the old steam cooker and ancient juicer were extracted from the box labeled "kitchen" that has been opened behind the dog crate.
Good on Mama Ginger for reclaiming her space from Anna's hoard of wellness junk.
