    now, shoes and boots and men (or women!) going *drool* over them I can understand.

    But, (and I'm pretty open minded to say the least!!!) I've never got this kind of thing........

    I mean - there's the idea that they have been worn (and may appeal to men with a certain 'penchant') but these are just, well, muddy and grimy!

    I've got a cupboard full like that - it comes with walking a dog in the winter!!

    £30:eek: Who's she kidding? They're from New Look and cost £20 max! I wouldn't like the desriptions chance of standing up to trading standards either...

    Is there a fetish element I'm missing here?

    And I have a thing about worn shoes - almost a phobia *shudder*

    I assume it's a fetish thing. She specifies she posts things out in PLAIN PACKAGING :confused:

    Me too, almost like using someone else's toothbrush....yuk

  • Her feedback is, er, interesting!!
    It certainly is!

    I am sure that on one of Martin's threads - things you never thought you could sell, or something like that - lots of MSE-ers discovered hidden value in their old slippers!

    Yes, it's a fetish thing. But the pound signs are lighting up in my eyes...
  • May I ask a question? (a non-perverted one for once)

    I know we all have DFW goals, usually with a DFD in the future. I have been thinking about a few other things in my life today and I was wondering - do any of you set (flexible) timetables for other goals? Such as having a two/five/ten year plan etc.
    I'm basing things on when the girls go to school. I want to be a qualified CAB adviser and on the way to becoming a debt specialist when KK starts school. :)

    I saaw from the feedback that's she's sold some used hold ups too:confused:

    Maybe shes a dominatrix and 'rewards' her pets for buying her stuff? Maybe its some kind scam to avoid tax:confused:

    Whatever it may be it's definitely weird!

    Same here. DH's steel toecap boots he wears for walking the dog just fell apart. Do you think there would be any buyers :rotfl:

    I can just imagine the description now.....


    Very well worn size 12 steel toe cap boots. Sole still attached to rest of boot in some areas. Not watertight.
