Gallery: Guns and Lizards: The Wild and Wonderful Things You Can Buy on Instagram
01InstaSale
Instagram may not yet have figured out how to make money, but some of its users have. Between the food photos and selfies, Instagram is becoming a popular destination for folks looking to sell their wares. In fact, [thanks to blogger Jason Kottke](http://kottke.org/13/07/kuwaits-booming-instagram-economy), we know that you can buy sheep (and goats) for slaughter from the mobile photo-sharing service. This actually shouldn't be that big of a surprise. Companies and individuals have found selling items via Instagram a great way to grow their business and interact with customers. "My company actually got a kickstart with a few simple Instagram posts and took it's own course from there," says Nia Ross, CEO of [PureGlamTress](http://www.pureglamtress.net/), a company that sells clothing and hair weaves. "About 40 percent of my sales I believe come from Instagram posts," she told Wired over email. But like the sheep and goats posted for sale by Kuwaiti user "sheep\_sell," so much more than just shoes and clothing is available on Instagram. Just enter the #forsale hashtag in the app's search box, and you'll get a peek at a whole world of "interesting" items posted -- most of them with the X-Pro II filter. Here are some our favorites. *Photo: Alex Washburn / Wired*

__Bong__. This pipe for the smoking of tobacco, and tobacco only, is perfect for leisurely enjoying an episode of *Adventure Time* or chowing down on some Funyuns. Unfortunately, the post doesn't have the actual price, but does include the hashtag #bestprice. Pretty sure that's a legally binding hashtag.

__Shotgun__. Not sure how the waiting period works in Charveyyyy's home state, but there's a Facebook app that will make sure your gun purchasing is on the up-and-up while you wait for your brand new Benelli 20-gauge beauty to arrive.

__Weed__. Who wants 4.7 grams of kind buds for only $30? According to the comments, Brothers of the Bud Supply company will ship its product directly to its customers. Illegal drugs you've purchased from Instagram being shipped through the mail -- what could go wrong?

__Russian SKS__. This fine piece of Russian weaponry is available for Canadians only (sorry, America). And while there are other guns available via Instagram, the fact that this weapon was just tossed on a cluttered coffee table shows that this is the semi-automatic rifle for the slob in your life. Creepy foot not included.

__Halloween Harlequin Lizard__. There are plenty of folks on Instagram selling dogs and cats (please get your furry friends from the local pound or shelter, folks). But reptiles are where it's at. Look at this cute little fella. For $50, you can make awesome miniature monster movies with your new scaly friend.

__Baby Face__. For $19 shipped, you can create Wes Craven-level nightmares for everyone around you. Descent into madness is almost certainly assured.

__Hesienberg Scratchboard__. The alter ego of *Breaking Bad*'s Walter White emerges from the darkness in this piece of art. If you stare at this piece long enough, expect it to tell you to "run." Great for a *Breaking Bad* premiere party. Don't forget the blue rock candy.

__Bottle Lamps__. If you're tired of those played-out IKEA lamps you have scattered around the house and you have some empty bottles, these are the lamps for you. Instagram user Salvagedif says his/her service can make any bottle into a unique lighting piece. These look spectacular, but are probably not CFL-compliant. If you've found an amazing item for sale on Instagram, share the link in the comments. It'll be like an Instagram swap meet.
